    London’s Premier Guide to London!

    "Excellent tour of London personalized to meet the needs of my group that had first time travelers to the UK and slightly more seasoned travelers to the area. He brings knowledge, intelligence and insight to a tour as well as a friendly personality with that British disposition that makes you want to drag him to the pub with your group or grab a spot of tea! Everyone in our group enjoyed the tour he provided as it was an excellent introduction for the newbies and reintroduction for the returning visitors! This was the second time I have used him and he never fails to impress! I recommend Tom highly! He does not disappoint!"

    Foodie Fever Dream

    "Anthony is magnetic, fun, full of energy and most importantly delivered on what we booked—an outstanding food tour!! We have visited many food markets around the world and Borough Market is holding top position for us currently! We really enjoyed our time, the food, and the stories Anthony shared. Our two teenage daughters couldn’t believe how fast 3 hours went by! If you are on the fence as to whether or not this tour is worth it, it absolutely is! Fabulous way to end our visit to London."

    Great day

    "We (family of 4, kids 17 and 13) all had a great day. Umar took charge after listening to our wishes. He did his best to make the trip interesting for all ages - we were all very entertained. We experienced things and areas we would not have seen on our own. We give him our highest recommendation "

    London Walkabout

    "My daughter and I went on a walkabout through London with Matt last week. He has a wonderful demeanor and offered to tailor out time with him to see what we had the most interest in. Of course we saw the highlights, but Matt was thoughtful on also focusing time and energy towards unique and lesser known sites. One really cool visit was to see the recent Banksy that had been put up within the last couple of weeks. He knows the city and we enjoyed learning about it from him. He also went out of his way to share additional information and photographs with us after the tour was concluded. It was a pleasure touring with Matt and I would highly recommend him for a walking tour of London."

    Hit all the best hidden spots!

    "Umar brought the energy to our tour! If you want the typical run of the mill walking tour, don't book with Umar. But if you want to see a ton of iconic landmarks mixed with off the beaten path sites, pubs and fun facts you won't find elsewhere, Umar is your guy. And he is absolutely hilarious. A tour guide can make or break a tour and Umar made it and then some. Our family made memories to last! "

    Amazing experience

    "We absolutely loved our experience with Maria Clara! She was so kind and thoughtful. She accommodated our food preferences but also pushed us to try new and interesting food throughout the Borough Market. We enjoyed our time so much, it felt like we had spent a few hours with a friend we hadn't seen in awhile, rather than someone we just met. We highly, highly recommend Maria Clara!"

    Wonderful insight into UK food/culture

    "Naomi was a great touring guide, showing us around borough market, the city of London, Leadenhall market and Spitafileds Market! We were able to taste so many delicacies, to see different sides of the city, all that with a dynamic and passionate local like Naomi! Perfect for a first-time visit of the city for my girlfriend and I. Can't wait to get back to see more of it!"

    Best of British Museum Tour with Rosa

    "If you only have a limited time to see the British Museum this is the tour for you! Rosa made it possible for us to see the highlights even highlights that surprised us and we did not expect. We really enjoyed her passion for art history and gained so much information. The museum is overwhelming and without a guide it would have been very difficult to have seen what she showed us. Thank you so much!"

    Great Story Teller at The British Museum!

    "My group had a fantastic experience with Rosa at the British Museum. Rosa was very knowledgeable of the wide variety of exhibits at the Museum. She also did a fantastic job sprinkling in stories that made the exhibits "come to life"! I would certainly take another tour with Rosa."
