    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."

    An excellent experience

    "I attended the private tour with a 15-year old son who’s not really into arts and art history - and Rosa was absolutely fantastic! Even my son found her very interesting and amusing (he tried to hide it). We loved every minute of it, learnt a lot and the three hours just flew by. I definately recommend - the National gallery with Rosa was the highlight of our London trip!"

    Review about Rosa

    "We had an outstanding tour of the British Museum with Rosa, and she was easily one of the best guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and it was clear right away that she knows the museum inside and out. You can tell she spends a lot of time there and truly loves what she does. What made the tour so special was the way she brought everything to life. She didn’t just explain the artifacts, she gave them meaning. She provided the historical background, explained why certain pieces matter, and helped us understand how to look at them in a deeper way. Every stop felt interesting and worthwhile because she gave us the bigger picture behind what we were seeing. We spent about three hours with her, and honestly, it still didn’t feel like enough time. The museum is enormous, and going with a guide is absolutely the best way to experience it. Without someone like Rose, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed or miss many of the highlights. She knew exactly how to navigate the museum efficiently and made the whole visit smooth and enjoyable. On top of all that, she has a great sense of humor, was warm and flexible, and constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We would absolutely book with her again if we return to London for a part two or part three of the museum. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend without hesitation."

Great communicator, made us feel at ease all the time. She walk us through St Martins on the Fields exposing us to the church concert series, opportunity that we immediately took and came back the same night for a Vivaldi concert. Thanks Luciana for sharing all the good things. oliva y jose"

    A London Tour Our Kids Still Talk About

    "We booked a private tour in London specifically for our kids, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Jenoe, was absolutely incredible. She brought London’s history to life in a way that completely captivated the kids—from the legends of the ravens at the Tower of London to the unforgettable (and still talked about!) story about the bus driver at Tower Bridge. She mixed in just the right amount of storytelling, hidden spots, and even a little Harry Potter magic, which made everything feel fun and engaging rather than like a typical “tour.” What really stood out was how amazing she was with the kids. She answered all of their questions, kept them interested the entire time, and even had them noticing things like how to spot a Christopher Wren church just by its windows. They still talk about what they learned to this day. Despite a very wet morning, she was so accommodating—making sure we could take breaks when needed and even helping us warm up with a coffee along the way. We booked this for the kids, but honestly, we learned just as much and loved every minute of it. If you’re visiting London with children, I can’t recommend Jenoe enough. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience they’ll remember for years."

    Fantastic experience

    "We were looking for a good walking tour to do with our 8 and 11 year old grandsons. Umar was fantastic from the minute we met him. He knows exactly how to engage young people as well as keeping it interesting for the adults. He is totally flexible for customizing the experience and just a pleasure to spend time with. The boys are still talking about him. They want to come back to London to see Umar."
