Fantastic!
Anthony guided my wife and I around London for several hours entertaining and enlightening us with some of its wonderful history and more unique areas. We tasted extraordinary food from vendors at Borough Market. We checked out St. Paul's and Southwark Cathedrals. Then visited Shakespeare's favorite pub, saw Sir Francis Drake's ship, and Clink prison. These are only a few of the many highlights. The three hours flew by. It was a great day spent with an excellent tour guide. Anthony gets my highest recommendation. I have used WithLocals many times and will continue to do so.

Perfect overview of London
Just spent the afternoon with Anthony and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! Anthony is highly knowledgeable and clearly loves his city. We saw many different sites and enjoyed his stories describing several neighborhoods of London. Our tour was at the perfect pace and we had a really wonderful time … highly recommend Anthony as a guide and would gladly book another tour with him on our next visit.

Great Personlized Tour
We had a great tour with Anthony which he personalized for us as we had one person who was older and walking slowly. After about 3 hours a few of us dropped off and he continued on with the rent of the group.

We saw the King and Queen !!!
Firstly, I must truly appreciate that Tom was ever so accommodating given we had messed up our train journey and were running quite late!
He shared some charming insights into the history of the Royals, all with a dash of humor to keep us entertained all the while.
The highlight of our tour was undoubtedly when we saw the King and Queen driving into and then again out of Buckingham Palace! Those moments specially were exhilarating.
Thank you Tom was the warmth and the wonderful time.
