Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an excellent beer culture tour with Chris. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the areas we walked through and took us on a leisurely walk to three pubs - a thoroughly enjoyable time that was perfect for our small group."
"Luciana is a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. She is obviously enthusiastic and passionate about the multiple facets of cultural life Mayfair has to offer. I would highly recommend spending a morning or afternoon in her company as she takes you to some the best places in London. "
"Luciana is a fantastic guide, she knows history, she knows fashion and marketing. She was perfect to show us around one of the loveliest areas of London. Her tour was especially great because we saw so many fabulous Christmas decorations espcially at the Claridge's and The Connaught hotels. We had used Luciana for a tour of the Victoria and Albert museum where she was also well versed and knew just where to take us. "
"I’ve hired a dozen With Local guides in the past and NO ONE has ever come close to the conscientious pre-planning and customization Luciana provided! Not that the others were bad—they weren’t—it’s just that Luciana is that good at designing a tour that perfectly addresses the interests and needs of her guests! She does her homework and delivers! "

"Luciana was personable and enthusiastic. She looked for our input repeatedly to be sure that she was exposing things on the tour we wanted to see. She brought us to sites we would not otherwise have found and gave excellent advice on things we should do and see during the remainder of our London visit (we toured with her the second day of ten). She also had good advice on dining and pubs. After the tour she forwarded by email a list of her suggestions so we didn't have to take notes on everything she said while walking with her. My only suggestion for improvement would be to pay a bit more attention to making sure all four of us were within earshot while talking; with street noise and being separated by crowded sidewalks, we sometimes missed some of what she was saying."
"Six friends traveling together accompanied Chris on a Sunday afternoon Pub tour. We thoroughly enjoyed Chris' knowledge of the architecture and history of London as we walked from pub to pub. The neighborhood pubs he introduced us to were a delight to see and then taste their specific brews. The afternoon went quickly! Would we join Chris again on another tour? Absolutely!"
"I had the pleasure of joining Chris on a tour of London, and it was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of British History infused our journey with fascinating insights and local expertise. We explored coffee and later immersed ourselves in the vibrant pub culture. Chris’s passion for the city and his personalized approach made the entire experience both enriching and delightful. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to explore London’s unique charm with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide!"
"I took a 2 hour tour with Luciana to explore the fashion scene around London and I must say, she is quite an expert and really very knowledgable as far as fashion is concerned. I got to see what I wanted to and would highly recommend her !!!!"
"The best idea after a long day of travel is to share a beer or two and get a first impression of London. Chris was a very nice and well informed guide. So if you have questions he will gladly answer them or might just call a friend for advice. We recommend to get flights. Small glasses (1/3 of a pint) to be able to taste all the different beers and ciders. Cheers"
"Chris is a fantastic guide; full of knowledge and gifted in his ability to share that knowledge. We learned so much from him and really enjoyed this opportunity to experience the local beer culture. Definitely a tour, beer lovers and history lovers alike, will enjoy!"
