Enthusiastic, flexible & knowledgeable

We had a wonderful afternoon with Tom. He was everything you could want from a personal tour guide. Enthusiastic, flexible and knowledgeable. Greart stories accompanied with pictures from his tablet. When we wanted to take a break to warm up during this could January day he was quick to find the right place. Go for Tom...you won't regret it.

Personalization at its best!

Always wanted to personalize a tour to your wishes? Having your own guide in London is the very best way to have a completely bespoke trip just for you. They’ll take you to all of their favorite spots, but also the rest of the hot-spots known only to other locals. You’ll see the most artistic side to the city as well as the most traditional, drenched in history. There really is no other tour than just wandering around with your own personal guide. So whether you want to visit all of the top landmarks the local way or discover new pop-up bars, hidden markets and alternative attractions, ask your experienced host to take you there.

You’ll find something on every street corner, down every alley and across every road in London, it’s a city that never sleeps and has something to see every day and night of the week, no matter the time of the year.

Mix up the itinerary

Make sure you see the city from all angles, with a classic and contemporary tour with our fabulous local guides. This way, you’ll experience the city old and new, including the buildings, the food and the attractions.

If you’ve been to Sky Garden, then you’ll love the Barbican Conservatory. A glasshouse filled with more than 2,000 species of plants and exotic fish. You would never believe you were in the big city of London. Already been up the London Eye? Then ask your local guide about taking a ride on the Emirates Air Line, not the airplane, but a gondola giving you a sky-high view of London. These are just some of the alternative routes you can take when exploring London, and your private guide will be more than happy to take you to see these, and so many more for a twist on the average tour.

Eat like a local

Food is a huge part of British culture and your private guide will tell you all about British cuisine and what makes it so fantastic. You’ll enjoy local dishes from top restaurants, as well as a home-cooked meal made just for you from one of our private guides. It’ll be a truly unique experience, and one that you’ll cherish forever. Give it a try and ask your private host.
