6 April 2025

We ask to go to 4 places on a 3 hour tour with Maria & it was perfect. She guided us through a very busy borough market where we got a lunch and some sweets. She knew exactly where to take us! The history was fascinating. Then took a ride on the tube like we were locals. Westminster Abby then Buckingham Palace. Ended in a local pub where for a farewell drink. Maria was so informative and we never felt rushed in a super busy town. We would highly recommend her and will have her take us around to different places next time in town. 1st time in London tour

Sophie was pleasant and knowledgeable. Before meeting her she asked what we were interested in seeing and tailored the stroll to our liking. We went at a casual pace and saw many things that were made more interesting because of Sophie’s commentary. Worth the walk

We were a group of 9- 5 adults and 4 kids (ages 11, 11, 9 and 9). Tom took us around Westminster, Buckingham, and St. James Park for 3 hours with a stop at a cafe by our request. He was friendly, interesting, and very knowledgeable. At the end of the week, everyone agreed Tom's tour was our number 1 thing we did- even the 4 kids. Very worth the price!Great Experience!

Sophie is LOVELY. So kind and full of facts and seems to genuinely love what she does. Our family loved our tour with her. We hit all of the spots we most wanted to see and she was INFINITELY patient with my son who had endless questions for her. We learned a lot and had so much fun. Wonderful tour

Kemal took my family of 4 to various points around the Galata Tower area. Within the first hour, we already learned a great deal of technique and info. We had no idea what our iPhones were capable of doing. He engaged my kids (12- and 14- y/o) in a natural way and encouraged them to keep taking photos throughout the experience. He sprinkled in historical information to give context of where we were. Highly recommend for beginners like us and I’m sure would be an amazing reliever for experienced photographers.Learned much more than I could imagine.

Sorcha delivered a family friendly tour that engaged and entertained both us and our 9 and 11 year old sons! We love history and Sorcha delivered even the more gruesome and sensitive of London’s varied history in an age appropriate and informative way. She also scheduled in excellent breaks for snacks that ensured my jet lagged boys didn’t get (too) whiney on the ~5 miles we ended up covering. Sorcha’s knowledge of the landmarks, hidden gems, and the stories behind them, as well as her helpful tips for after the tour ensured a wonderful first day in the city!Sorcha went above and beyond

Ok so maybe the day did start a little dreary, but that was quickly replaced by our time with Maria. From a delicious start at a local tea vendor, through fresh oysters and scallops to a decadent mushroom risotto Maria kept us well fed and informed about local history and historic places. She is super friendly and we felt like we were exploring London through food with a friend - which we feel she became by the end. Over a pint to finish off the tour of course. And by then the sun was, of course, shining! We highly recommend a day with her!A Not So Foggy Day in London-Town

Tom was an excellent guide and story teller, Blending history with context, and adjusting the tour to be engaging for two adults with two teenagers. I learned a ton, ate some tasty bites and feel I could navigate Shoreditch nicely the next time I’m in London. Great for those wanting a “bit more”!

Chris was incredibly patient and kind — we had four kids and a grandma in our group, so we weren’t always the fastest or most focused, but he handled it all with such grace and good humor. He shared many interesting facts, and I genuinely believe there’s no question Chris can’t answer. Thank you so much, Chris!Wonderful tour!

We were in London for a short time, and our tour with Chris was the perfect way to get acquainted with both historical and modern London in just a couple hours. Chris was not only friendly and engaging, but truly a wealth of knowledge about history and life in London. He was also flexible to ensure our tour fit in a pretty compact day of dining and other activities. Our tour with Chris was the highlight of our short time in London and we'd highly recommend him to any future visitors. Thank you Chris!Perfect Intro to London

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

We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private 2.5-hour tour of London with Chris, and it exceeded all of our expectations! The tour was a birthday gift for my husband, who had lived in London for nearly two years. I thought it might be difficult to surprise him, but Chris did an incredible job of curating a unique and highly personalised experience that catered to his interests and needs. Chris shared so many fascinating facts and little-known details about London that even my husband, with his familiarity with the city, was thoroughly impressed and delighted. His passion for the city's history and culture really shone through, and his engaging storytelling made the experience truly unforgettable. He was thrilled with this thoughtful and informative tour, and I couldn’t have asked for a better gift for him. Thank you, Chris, for making this such a memorable day for both of us. Highly recommended!A great London Tour with Chris

My wife and I spent 3 great hours with Chris on the local history tour that began at St Paul's Cathedral. This man is a wealth of information about all things historical in London. We learned things that are not written in the history books and can only be explained in detail in person. This tour was worth the time amd money !! Great day with Chris

I completed the Highlights & Hidden Gems of London tour with María Clara and had an amazing time! I was only in London for about 36 hours and really wanted to maximize my time in the city, and this tour couldn't have been a better choice. María Clara is extremely knowledgable about the culture of London—including food, music, art, etc.—in terms of both the tourist attractions as well as lesser known aspects of the city. She also has deep historical knowledge and provided context for every place we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested!Fantastic tour and company!

If you want to experience London to the fullest, Chris is the expert you want. We began our trip with Chris as our guide-- not just a facts person, but a person who asked what our interests were and expertly crafted a tour where we didn't have a lecture, but a conversation. Chris's depth of knowledge about London and his ability to connect with us made our conversation about London so exciting and engaging. He really connected with us and made our tour special, meaningful, and fun. Chris wanted us to share his excitement about London with us, and we were hooked! Can't wait to come back to London and tour with Chris again.Exciting, Engaging Tour with Chris

Cori is the best tour guide we could meet in London. He is a human being, sensitive, understanding, intelligent and very knowledgeable in all kinds of topics related to English culture. He has topics for adults and makes people smile and has the attention of children with his stories. He is respectful, trustworthy, very accommodating and flexible when it is very necessary to change the agenda of the day. He is punctual and knows how to teach us how to use public transportation. He takes care of his clients and knows all kinds of interesting places to eat, learn and/or go shopping. He adapts to everything and never loses his smile and enthusiasm to make you have a great day while introducing you to the city of London. My family and I recommend him with all our hearts.

Despite having visited London multiple times before, we learned so many new and fascinating things about the city. David’s ability to engage both us as adults and our young adult kids made the experience truly exceptional. It was dynamic, highly interesting, and never felt boring for a second.

David was an excellent guide for us in this sunny, but cold November day. Although some of us had been to London numerous times,everything we saw and learned about was new to us. David has an impressive knowledge of architecture and history, and also with regards to the history related to popular culture over the decades. Not at least, he did it with humor and wit, and conveyed some hilarious anecdotes along the way! We were truly impressed, and felt extremely lucky we got such a great guide.

We booked Tom to give us a 2 hour walking tour of Soho as part of our work team day. Tom created a bespoke tour for us and was both knowledgable and entertaining throughout. We’re all familiar with the area so wanted a tour that picked out the varied lesser known stories about Soho… and we definitely get that - peppered with personal observations and anecdotes that made the whole tour all the more engaging. I would highly recommend booking Tom for a walking tour of Soho and other places in London as his knowledge clearly extends way beyond this area.Highly refommended Soho Tour

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cory as my tour guide in London, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Cory is an incredibly pleasant person, with a vast and impressive knowledge of London’s rich history. He sailed through the tour like a true pro, effortlessly blending stories, facts, and hidden gems that only a true Londoner would know. Cory even went above and beyond by taking me to extra spots not originally planned, making sure I experienced parts of the city I would have otherwise missed. Originally, our tour was set for three hours, but it ended up being a generous 4.5 hours as he made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Cory's warmth, kindness, and humor added so much to the journey—he’s truly a gem of a person. Not only did he guide me extensively, but he also served me with a delicious lunch, showcasing just how thoughtful and giving he is. If you're considering a guide in London, I wholeheartedly recommend Cory. You’ll leave with not only unforgettable memories of the city but also having met a genuinely wonderful person.Fantastic and amazing
