What a wonderful experience! The tour with Naomi was spectacular. Her warm and friendly manner captivated us from the very beginning. She showed us London from a very personal perspective, and we saw so many places and heard so many stories we couldn't have lived in ourselves. She personalized the tour to our needs and we felt so welcome. Ideal for travelers who want to experience London intensively in the shortest possible time! Great experience and highly recommended!

We had originally booked another guide but due to personal reasons, he had to transfer this booking to Kemal who flew especially from Istanbul to accommodate us! Kemal was very knowledgeable regarding all of London's history and works as a professional photographer to boot so we had amazing photos!! We managed to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, a traditional English pub, St. James royal park, .... all within 3 hours!!! Kemal is a definite guide we will recommend to friends!!!London in a nutshell

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

8 September 2025

We had an absolutely fantastic experience touring London with Tom, The London Storyteller! In just a few short hours, he managed to weave together so much history, culture, and fun bringing the city’s stories to life while also making sure we saw so many of the iconic sites. Tom’s knowledge is incredible, but what really stood out was how he made everything engaging and easy to follow. From the Tower of London and HMS Belfast to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and even a stop at Borough Market, every moment felt special. If you want to see London in a way that’s both informative and personal, we can’t recommend Tom enough. He gave us a day we’ll always remember, and we left with not only great photos but a much deeper appreciation for this amazing city. London in 4 hours! Yes!

Our tour with Anthony was outstanding! He was prompt, engaging, and shared fascinating insights and little-known stories not found in history books. Anthony gave us a choice of touring traditional sights or a more local experience, we chose the latter and it did not disappoint! He showed us hidden gems only a true local would know. His food recommendations were spot-on, and it was clear he was familiar and respected in the neighborhood. All three generations on our trip found the tour enjoyable and Anthony a pleasure. We’ve taken many tours and Anthony was one of the best guides we’ve ever had!Top-Notch Local Experience

Phenomenal tour of the royal grounds around St. James. Umar was such a nice man with an amazing personality. So many random people along the tour stopped him and gave him so much grief claiming to be a part of the tour and he handled it all with such grace and resilience. Honestly, he’s an inspiration on how to handle insufferable, entitled people. I felt terrible for him to be dealing with that while he’s just trying to work. All in all, amazing experience. Umar was very informative. He has such a good sense of humor, and was an absolute pleasure to meet and be toured around by. Best guide ever

Tom was so knowledgeable about London distort. Before going to the Churchill War Rooms, Tom suggested going on a historical walking tour in the Westminster area so we’d have a more context before going in to the War Rooms. It was so helpful to have that background. Tom also had extensive pop culture knowledge, and answered so many of our questions. Definitely recommend a tour with him! Tom was great!

(About local Anthony )

Anthony was interesting, engaging, and a wealth of knowledge - full of detailed stories about the lesser known history of London. We originally booked a ‘top attractions’ tour - Westminster, etc. However when we met he gave us an alternative option to go to a lesser known but deeply historical area - and we were so glad we chose the alternative! We walked around an area of the city that we never would’ve gone to and learned some fascinating history about some key lesser known sites. We also had two kids in tow- ages 9 and 7 - and Anthony consistently made efforts to keep them engaged with interesting - plus dash of morbidity - tales, which they loved. Overall I would highly recommend him, and the next time we go back we will definitely be booking a food tour with him as he also had a deep knowledge of all the great spots in the area (boroughs market was a highlight).Facinating and lesser known London sites
