Private & Personalized Tours in London with a Local

When you hit the road and land in a new city like London, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes London spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically London.

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. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in London, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in London awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in London, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely London. Get ready to explore like a local!

    Great Tour in the East End of London!

    "I had a great time on this Shoreditch & Brick Lane tour. If you ever want to book this tour, be sure to pick Anthony as your guide. He took me on a very insightful tour of this vibrant part of London that, amongst other things, ranged from street art in all kinds of sizes to culinary delights such as Beigel Bake Brick Lane and also Dark Sugars. Whenever you're in London & are looking to do a Withlocals tour, I highly recommend to choose Anthony as your guide."

    Great afternoon out with Matt!

    "Matt was great! We spent most of our time at the South Borough Market, which we had not been to on our previous trips to London. Matt was an excellent guide to what could have been an overwhelmingly chaotic experience. Se sat down to strategize our adventure in the beginning, over a nice glass of wine on the Thames. Then off to the market for a walk-through, and eventually a sit-down while Matt got our food choices. Towards the end of our time together, Matt walked with us to Hyde Park and Mayfield, while showing us some of the cultural and historical highlights of the area. Definitely recommend. "

    Exceptional Walking Food Tour

    "If you are visiting London, do yourself a favor and book this food walking tour! Our guide, Matt, was absolute perfection from start to finish. He managed to seamlessly blend fascinating historical storytelling about London with incredible local culinary stops. You don't just eat great food—you truly learn the history and context behind what makes the city's food scene so rich and diverse. Matt’s passion, local knowledge, and hospitality made the experience feel like strolling around town with a top-tier local friend. Every single food choice was a hit. Highly recommend!"

    The highlight of our trip

    "Carolina was a fantastic guide for our family. She communicated clearly and made our connection easy. She adapted when my kids started talking to her about YouTube and Minecraft, and she came ready with video clips to demonstrate where we’ve seen some of the sights in our favorite movies! The best praise came at the end of the day when each of the kids listed our time with Carolina as the highlight of their day! So much better than just trying to figure things out on our own, highly recommend!"

    Great day in London

    "We had a great tour with Tom- he was super accommodating and communicative and we had a great time walking around London with him. We learned so much about the history of the city as well as the current culture. When I mentioned that I loved the Crown, Tom suggested we pivot the tour slightly to suit my interests and he shared a ton of anecdotes and information about the Royals past and present. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Tom to show you all the key sites in London. "
