"Sorcha was absolutely exceptional. From the moment our Withlocals tour began, she brought London to life with her deep knowledge, engaging stories, and incredible ability to reveal hidden gems we never would have found on our own. She kept the experience flowing with fascinating insights and even surprised us with a few unexpected stops that became some of our favorite moments of the day.
What impressed us most was how she customized the entire tour around what we wanted to see and do. She listened, adapted, and crafted an experience that felt personal, thoughtful, and perfectly paced. Sorcha is not just a guide—she’s a true ambassador for London, and spending the day with her was an absolute highlight of our trip. Highly, highly recommended."

"Anthony was exceptional! He kept our kids engaged and we truly enjoyed our afternoon with him. If you're looking for history, knowledge, humor and kindness you've found the perfect guide! "
"We couldn't have asked for a better guide through London's history than Cory. From the moment we met, his passion for English history and modern culture was infectious, and it made every stop on our tour feel alive in a way we never expected.
We started at the Churchill War Rooms, where Cory's depth of knowledge was truly unparalleled. He didn't just recite facts — he brought the underground bunkers to life, painting a vivid picture of what it must have felt like to work there during the Blitz. From there, we moved to Westminster Abbey, and thanks to his Blue Badge certification, Cory navigated the crowds and layout effortlessly, getting us to the highlights without any of the usual hassle or wasted time.
What really set Cory apart was his ability to connect the dots between each site. Rather than treating the Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, and the British Museum as separate stops, he wove them into one continuous, coherent story of English history — showing us how the events, people, and eras all connected to one another. It gave the whole day a sense of narrative that we wouldn't have found on our own.
Above all, Cory took the time to personalize the experience for our family. He listened to what we were most interested in and shaped the day around us, rather than sticking to a rigid script. It made the tour feel tailor-made rather than generic.
If you're looking for a guide who combines deep expertise, genuine passion, and a personal touch, we couldn't recommend Cory more highly. Our day in London with him was a true highlight of our trip."
"I have been on dozens of private tours. Rosa was by far one of the best ever! Knowledgable. Friendly, yet professional and always interested in MY interest. I believe the woman knew something about everything!
The staff in the museums knew her. We took our time and really studied the artwork. On a hot summer day, she took me for a drink in the members cafe, which was very kind. I would give her an 11 if they would let me!"
"What a wonderful time with Naomi. Her vibrant personality, passion about the city and her positive energy makes one want to explore and know more…
Absolutely must do !"
"Rosa is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide. She really paid attention to what we were interested in and her depth of at history is extraordinary. It made for a once in a lifetime experience. "
"Luciana is wonderful! She’s super knowledgeable, friendly and full of stories. I highly recommend her as your guide! She tailored the tour to meet our needs which was wonderful. "
"We had a wonderful food tour with our family (2 parents & 2 teenagers). He has done many food tours and is knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!"
"We wished Luciana was with us the entire trip! She is so easy to work with, customized the tour to our likings and showed us unexpected gems along the way. Super recommend! "
"We had the best highlights and hidden gems tour with Matt! He customized the tour to our schedule, sights we were interested in seeing and our 3 kids. He shared many hidden gems and was very knowledgeable and passionate about London’s history. Matt even delivered us to our lunch reservation spot on time and provided us additional insights on what else to see and do after the tour. Matt is a treasure himself and we will definitely tour with him again when we return to London! "
