Right then, ladies and gentlemen, hello! My name is Umar, and it’s an absolute pleasure to have you here. I can see you've all managed to find me, which is the hardest part of any London tour, isn't it? Navigating this city is a skill in itself, but don't worry, you're in safe hands.
Now, you've probably read a bit about me, but let me give you the abridged, somewhat more dramatic version. Yes, I was born and raised right here in this glorious, sprawling city. And yes, though I've since moved abroad, London, as they say, is in my blood. So much so that I'm pretty sure my heart beats to the rhythm of the Tube and my internal monologue is narrated by a cheeky cockney sparrow.
As for what I do, well, some people call it a job, but I just call it sharing my obsession. My bread and butter, as they say, is the grand stuff: the palace tours, the magnificent spectacle of the Changing of the Guard. It's truly incredible. But it's also just the start of our journey. We'll be diving headfirst into the hidden alleys of London's pub history, exploring the contemporary buzz of today's city, and uncovering all sorts of fascinating, quirky, and downright strange facts you won't find in a guidebook.
Think of our time together not as a tour, but as a journey through the ages. We're going to explore this city's past, present, and everything in between, all with a bit of character and a good laugh along the way. So get ready, because I don't just talk about London... I bring the London experience!
