The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss.

Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful morning with Cory. He carefully worked with us to craft an amazing introduction to the city. It was like exploring London with an old friend (who loves history, London, and the inside scoop on the royal family!). He knew so much about the city, and also shared some wonderful hidden gems. It was a great way to start our time in London!"
"Gregory is a very friendly and humorous guide who told us about wonderful places, hidden street art and lots about urban development. We were all thrilled and had a lot of fun on our tour. When we come back to London, we will definitely do the tour again!"
"Anthony was an excellent guide for me and my daughter who are both first time visitors to London! He got to know us and our interests first, and then introduced us to special spots across the city, while sharing interesting, fun and funny facts along the way. Anthony even concluded our tour at a location close to our hotel, which was much appreciated after 3 hours of walking. I would highly recommend this tailored experience with Anthony!"
"Sophie was an exceptional guide during our time in London. She was incredibly kind, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our experience special. She helped us discover sights and tastes we never would have found on our own. Her insights brought the city to life in a way that guidebooks simply can’t. We’re truly grateful for the time we spent with her and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a richer, more authentic London experience."
"We learned a lot from Tom about the area and how it evolved. Tom was also kind enough to share his own perspective which gave a personal aspect to the tour. He adjusted the tour to our interests. We enjoyed it and learned from it. Highly recommend this tour with Tom."
"Rosa was wonderful. We had a great experience. We got to see the areas we told Rosa we wanted to see. She was very informative. Also due to our physical limitations she accommodated our needs very well. We would highly recommend Rosa"
"From the very beginning, Luciana’s communication was excellent. Before the tour, she reached out with thoughtful questions and suggestions so she could tailor the experience to our interests, and it was clear she had truly planned everything out. During the tour, Luciana was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought the London’s neighborhood to life by blending iconic sights with hidden gems we never would have found on our own. The pacing was perfect, and she was very attentive, regularly checking in to make sure we were seeing what we wanted and adjusting along the way. What really set her apart were the small, thoughtful touches. She made time for great photo opportunities, shared fun local stories, and even included special stops that felt like surprises. After the tour, she followed up with a helpful list of recommendations for the rest of our stay, including restaurants, pubs, activities, and places to explore. That alone made a huge difference in how we experienced London. Luciana is professional, personable, and truly passionate about what she does. We give her our highest recommendation and would absolutely book with her again the next time we’re in London. "
"My daughter and I enjoyed a terrific tour with Luciana. She was warm, insightful, and interesting. We felt like we were being guided by a friend. Can't recommend her enough!"
"Tom was absolutely fantastic. I was visiting London with two friends for a Guns 'N Roses concert at Wembley Stadium. We wanted to learn about the city, but we were very limited on time. We contacted Tom, and he made it work! Two of the three in our group are very into music, so they wanted to know about London's music scene. I wanted to learn more about the Royal Family with stops for wine along the way. Tom delivered all of that and more! We left feeling like we had a new friend in London. Tom is so great at what he does. I recommend booking this tour. I am planning a trip back to London this summer, and Tom will be one of my first calls. BOOK THIS TOUR!!!"
"Sophie provided us with a fantastic walking tour of London! She customized our tour so we could see one area near our hotel. She even met us in the St. Ermin’s lobby to begin our tour. As I was new to With Locals, I inadvertently changed the tour by wanting to focus on 4 particular places. Sophie rose to the occasion and worked with us on short notice! Sophie’s knowledge of history is impressive. We were thoroughly happy with our custom tour! We even got to add some bird species to our life lists while walking through green spaces! We would highly recommend Sophie and will book with her again on our next London visit!"
