Anthony was fantastic. My husband, myself, and our 9 and 11-year-old kids went on his tour our first full day in London. Not only did he take us to his favorite local spots, but he also showed us some of the biggest sites, but with a different perspective and viewpoint. He answered all of our questions, and you can tell that he has a deep bench of knowledge to draw from. Also, his taste in food is 🤌. We highly recommend him and we would absolutely go on another tour with him next time we're in town!Family-friendly, knowledgeable, and fun!

Wir hatten einen so tollen Nachmittag gemeinsam mit Anthony. Unglaublich freundlich und ein echter Kenner der wundervollen Stadt London. Er hat uns Plätze gezeigt, die wir sicherlich auf eigene Faust niemals erkundet hätten! Die Zeit ist wie im Flug vergangen und ganz sicher wiederholen wir dies bei unserer nächsten London Reise! Vielen Dank Anthony für die tolle Zeit!Einfach wunderbar!!

If you're looking to experience Shoreditch beyond the guidebooks and Instagram hotspots, Anthony’s walking tour is an absolute must. From the moment we began, it was clear that this wasn't just a job for him—it was a passion project. With an infectious enthusiasm for the quirky, the forgotten, and the fleeting, Anthony brought the streets of East London to life in a way few others could. What sets this tour apart is Anthony’s eye for the hidden details most would miss. He led us down quiet alleys and past unassuming buildings, revealing layers of history, culture, and creativity. His knowledge of Shoreditch’s ever-evolving street art scene was incredible—not just the big names like Banksy, but the emerging artists, political messages, and even the pieces that might disappear by next week. It felt like we were seeing a living, breathing gallery. Anthony also has a knack for storytelling, weaving in anecdotes about the area’s rebellious past, eccentric residents, and how Shoreditch continues to reinvent itself. His deep respect for the neighborhood’s character, both old and new, shone through in every stop and story. If you're curious, creative, or just tired of cookie-cutter tours, this is the one to book.

Auch unseren Kindern hat die Tour Spass gemacht und die 3 Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Herzlichen Dank Anthony und vielleicht bis zum nächsten Mal :-) Spannende & unterhaltsame Tour mit Anthony

Anthony was a fantastic tour guide and kept our 6 and 9 year old children engaged and interested in learning about the sites we were seeing in London. It helped to provide context and interesting history to all the beautiful sites/buildings. They have repeated the stories they learned to our friends when telling others about our trip! Anthony is knowledgeable and engaging and both my husband and I and our children loved spending the day with him! Must book!!!

Anthony is ongelofelijk gedreven en kent dit deel van de stad. We hebben het Eastend ontdekt met zijn prachtige murals en dan doorgewandeld over Towerbridge naar Borough Market. Eigenlijk hadden we dit beter in 2x gedaan, want het was een stevige wandeling en door tijdgebrek hadden we iets te weinig tijd om af en toe stil te staan en te genieten. Beide sites echt de moeite om te ontdekken en zeker met Anthony, echt een aardige man.HEEL FIJNE UITSTAP

Anthony was absolutely fabulous. We decided to throw caution to the wind and go on a tour to the lesser known parts of London. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We were fully engrossed in Anthony’s storytelling full of mind blowing facts. It was a grand day and Anthony left us near the Tower of London that we explored on our own. One of the best guides and best tours we have ever had. Highly recommend.Memorable Tour

Anthony was very easy going and flexible with our family of 5 with 2 young children (7 & 9). We spent a day with him sightseeing throughout London and we felt comfortable and at ease. He put together a great itinerary, but he never made us feel rushed. Any mom knows that sightseeing with young kids may not always go as planned. Anthony understood that too!! He took us to see some not so tourist attractions which was quite interesting and he knew the history behind everything we inquired about along the way and more! He took us to a great food market where you can get anything and everything from all over the world!! Highly recommend booking with Anthony!Loved every minute!!

There is no better way to experience culture than through food. Anthony does an amazing job, bringing enthusiasm, excitement, and history to a fast-paced deep dive into real London. there is so much more to this tour than just food. The sites surrounding the area are so impressive. It’s worth going just for that. But the food is absolutely outstanding. My recommendation is to let Anthony pick his favorite places. I never thought that I would try the food that I did but I absolutely loved all of it. do yourself a favor and take this tour. Best tour in London

Anthony was wonderful! I was on a short timeline as I was on an 8 hr layover in between flights. Anthony helped me with advice on navigating to the city from the airport. Once there we crammed in a LOT in a short amount of time as we explored the sites. He’s a wealth of knowledge, takes great pictures, knows the best food spots and was fun to hang out with. Great experience and highly recommended!Great experience!
