The LGBTQ+ History Tour of London in London - a8d256eb19fbd6238efdf00dffc3ddbd

I want to show you the amazing historical journey of the LGBTQ community in London, how hard they fought for equal rights and where do we stand today.

With tons of interesting stories to tell you, we will take a look back through visits to museums, meetings places and local spots the LGBTQ community used to gather in the past to unwind.

At the museum of London, I'll give you a full historical breakdown on the history of LGBTQ of London 1700-1900. Hear everything about the endurances some people had to go through just for having a different sexual preference to how the LGBTQ movement evolved over time.

We will also visit Soho, the famous neighborhood where I'll show you some local spots that are LGBTQ friendly. We'll also pay a visit to the infamous 'Caravan Club', a place take took an important role for the LGBTQ community.

During our walk through the neighborhood we can make a stop to eat at a gay friendly restaurant to recharge some energy and keep the tour to its high. Let me know if you want to add this to your personalized offer!

To finish with a bang we cannot not visit the historical Vauxhall Tavern where we will get to watch an incredible drag show. You'll love the energy of this place!

Let me enlighten you more about this amazing movement with tons of fun local insights and unique places to visit. Personalize your experience as you wish, just let me know!

**This tour is also available on Saturday at 3 pm

Our guide Tara seemed like a good person. However, this is not enough to be good guide. The tour was not good to say the least. Plain and simple … she was reading her iPhone(!) when telling us about London. We all can Google and read ourselves. That is totally what we’ve expected. Free drink was never offered even though it was on a description of the tour. This was a total waste of time. In addition, Tara went on and on against politics in USA. We are USA citizens and we do expect people to respect our country even if you don’t agree with our politics. Just keep it to yourself. Royal Tour of London

In one word, Amazing. Tara talks with great passion about London and the Royals. I would have loved a history teacher like her. She'll tell with great passion about the beauty and all the good stuff in history, but also isn't afraid to talk about the less good things that have happend throughout history. The kids absolutely loved her, as did we.Tara is a big Diana fan, she might ask you if you want to see the Diana Memorial. If she does, go for it, especially when you're with kids. As if she wasn't lively and fun enough,.... well you ain't seen nothing yet. She'll become the child among the children. Just amazing to be a part of. Dear Tara, the kids loved you, we loved you, thank you for a wonderfull tour. Our trip to london was a short one, but the memory will last a lifetime.A Royal tour with Tara
