Experience London
Beyond the Guidebooks

Ana, made the experience very engaging by contacting me prior to our scheduled date. We were able to plan my May 12th date with the requests I asked for and we were able to introduce ourselves to each other. The places Ana took me to were not always listed under regular tours of London which made it more interesting for me to understand the culture of the city. I was able to visit sites that only a Londoner would know about. I was especially thrilled to visit The Ned Bar/Restaurant, one of the filming sites of the James Bond film, Goldfinger. Another special visiting site was the lifting of the gates at Tower Bridge. We had the best viewing spot that only Ana knew where to stand. We had time to visit the first church built in London. We saw the horse guards parade own the street on their way to Buckingham Palace. We took epicures in front of the Clock Tower in the best possible location, etc. What I really liked bout Ana was her ability to socially engage with our environment.

Nice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended

Ana Maria was great, very knowledgeable and experienced. The pace was perfect, and the sights were tailored to our preferences

Ana Marie was a great guide, the tour was at a perfect pace and tailored to our personal likes/dislikes

Becky was a wonderful host, and did such a thoughtful and interesting tour of London - both famous sights and hidden secrets. Would highly recommend!!!

Becky was an amazing guide. Great personality, incredible conversation, and very knowledgeable about the area that we visited. Highly recommend and would enjoy spending time with her again in the future.

We wanted to spend the morning of our last day in London on a walking tour. Becky reached out for locations that we wanted to see and put together an interesting route. She was personable and provided great information about the locations. Thanks Becky!

Becky picked us up from our hotel at our prompt meeting time and filled our tour with all the London must sees. We got lunch, coffee, and explored as much as we wanted! Anyone who gets Becky as a guide is really lucky!!

Tom is knowledgeable and very personable. He made sure we saw as much as possible. Will be happy to tour with him again.

We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.

I must say my guide Tom was amazing start to finish. I enjoyed his energy and openness to help me capture the key moments how I wanted to. He was very knowledgeable and was able to do it while being on the move and not stop for too long as you see in those large group tours that limits the area and sites your able to see. From markets, alleys, historical sites, Tom made my first trip every to the UK better than expected. So much that I plan to bring my kids back so they can experience it as well. Thank you Tom for the conversations and just being you and allowing me me to be me!.

We had Naomi take us on a wonderful tour of London! Traveled the world but never London, and we shared with her in advance other tours already planned, indicating we didn’t want to duplicate the effort, and wanted to see things that would be unique to any tourist. So she completely nailed it! Meeting us at our hotel at 10:00 am at our request, we take the tube and go through streets and see galleries and stores and had coffee and a pastry at a truly local place. Walked through Covent Gardens and 2 bars that were nearby the law school (even the store where you buy your wig to wear to go to Court). We even met 2 people who were studying bee pollination! Toward the end we asked her to leave us near a local pub so we could have a pint. It was past our time with her, and we offered to buy her a pint, and SHE was having so much fun she joined us and we shared photos of her experiences in India and ours in a South African safari earlier this year! I would highly recommend Naomi in a heartbeat if you want to have a truly unique experience in London!!!

Before arriving in London, we shared with her the tours we already had, scheduled, so she didn’t duplicate the effort. She then took us on a tour that included all things we didn’t already have scheduled. We went to old parts of town, where the law school library was (I’m a lawyer in the States), various parks, the Opera House, a coffee house for mid morning coffee and Coventry Garden and other areas of town we would not have found on our 6 day trip. The best example of her attentiveness was when we said shortly before the end of the tour, that our first stop post tour would be at any nearby local pub for a print that she could recommend. She took us to a perfect pub, to sit outside on a beautiful day, and had a drink with us before she left for the remainder of the day (she spent over an hour with us after our scheduled time!). We would HIGHLY recommend her for any tour you’d want of London!

Naomi was great. Loved the informality of the tour where she sort of customized it to our interests.

I highly recommend the private tour of London with Naomi! She’s so infectious and easy to get along with she made our trip! Thank you Naomi!

Delia was knowledgeable, thorough and attentive. Her approach was great. She provided a big picture perspective and then broke our journey into understandable, relatable components. She was also very accommodating, tailoring our time together to meet my needs. I would definitely seek her out on a return trip.

She thoughtfully planned out the tour for me based on what I was interested in. She was very knowledgable about the areas we went to and made recommendations for other places to go after my tour and for future trips. The tea and scones we had were also delicious! I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is traveling to London :)

Delia was an excellent guide! She tailored our tour to fit our requests perfectly. She arrived early, was really friendly, professional and great time. She was also super knowledgeable, we asked lots of questions and she knew the answers to them all! I would absolutely want to tour with her again!

Enjoyed the off-the-beaten path experience.

Fun time in and around the gay neighborhood. Highly recommend. Sandro was friendly and knowledgeable. I think I made a friend!

Score 5 out of 5. My guide knew the area, was patient with me, and very knowledgeable. It was like meeting a friend for the first time. He was very personal.

Sandro was an amazing guide. He tailored the tour to our requests and also added some other highlights because of his knowledge of the London neighborhoods. I would definitely recommend him as a guide.

Sando was more like an old friend taking you around their turf when visiting. Made the experience much more than just an informational exchange.

ST has such an in depth knowledge of London and was able to share a good balance of history and current events that made the tour unique to what I wanted.

What a great tour and guide. Well versed in his knowledge of the city and recommendations. Would use again.

Really appreciated Sean and his personality. Bright guy, well-traveled, made it a point to communicate with each person in the group. Good recommendations and set a good pace for the day.

Loved our customized private tour with our new British friend David. He was so informative and took us to spots we never would have known to explore. We went all over and he taught us how to use the Underground in order to get from place to place fast. He was very personable and was just a pleasure to spend half our day with. He dropped us off where we wanted to finish in order to explore on our own and planned the day accordingly. It was such a great experience. I highly recommend this company to use for a personalized tour.

Walking tour of London. Excellent!!

David was very personable and quickly change our route when he discovered my father worked with Eisenhower's here in London and took us to the park,old US embassy and Eisenhower's headqarters. We greatly enjoyed all of little known facts and "hidden gems" all over the westminster area.

We had a wonderful experience with David. He was very knowledgeable of a lot of facts about history, details and facts. He contacted us since we made our reservations to know what we wanted to do. We will recommend him 100%.

Our guide Darryl was spot on from start to finish. He customized our tour perfectly, was flexible in accommodating requests and changes, and maximized our time while still giving us space to savor sites and sounds. He provided us with insider tips and tutored us on the transportation systems to help us with the rest of our visit. Thank you for an excellent experience! Strongly recommend!

Darryl was a charming and outstanding guide for our initial foray into London Chinatown. The food at each stop was outstanding and even included Peking Duck at Four Seasons Garrard Street, which I had hoped we might visit. In between stops, we learned a lot about Chinatown and the adjacent Soho area. Also, Darryl shared with me some insights into how to hone my photographic skills. It was an evening very well spent and a highlight of our London holiday, which was a 65th birthday present for my missus. We highly recommend both Darryl and the City Unscripted Wok n’ Roll Chinatown Food Tour. Cheers!

Nikki was the best possible tour guide! Communication was excellent to make sure we met. The tour itself was paced well, especially in light of my wife's handicap. Nikki was very, very considerate and made sure we weren't overdoing it. That said, she showed us many iconic sights but also included more hidden gems that only a long-time London resident would know. This was our first experience in London and it couldn't have begun on a better note. Nikki's enthusiasm and friendliness made the experience more than just a "tour". A very enjoyable time. The next group to have her lead them about should count themselves lucky.

That's so hard to say as there was so much! But our tour guide Nikki certainly added more that just knowledge to our visit. Her enjoyment of showing off the iconic sites was palpable and her friendly way was a joy.

Nikki was more than considerate of my wife's mobility handicap. I loved that she frequently asked questions to tailor our tour and experience. I can't imagine a more kind and informative host. Communication for meeting was clear and from the start is was like we'd known her already. A very enjoyable time that we wish could have been longer.

A wonderful and informative tour for all of us. Adults and kids. And beautiful weather helped! Nikki was enthusiastic and comprehensive and very engaging. Highly recommended!

It was an incredible experience! With our tour guide, Peppe, we were able to see and learn about many things all over London. It was so worth the time and money, and Peppe did a wonderful job explaining the history and culture..

Tour guide Pepe. Great experience learning about the Shoreditch neighborhood, its history and eclectic culture.

Our tour guide was most personal and informative. He reached out before tour to learn our interests and priorities. All expectations were met. Simply the best!

He reached out beforehand to learn of our interests and priorities. All expectations were met. Our experience was perfect.

We had a great experience and the host really did well. It was a god change of host as we didn’t have much interaction with the first one. But it was a bit late as we had already started our vacation and was not so avalible going on the trai all day

It was great to have JJ pick out the right foods to eat as well as give us the background and history of London.

He shared his wealth of information entertaining 4 teenage boys with the history of Great Britain and highlights of London. Then we moved on to Borough Market where he showed us all the best eats with a little history mixed in. We ended the tour at a local pub, with a pint, stories, laughs, and a new friend! Thanks JJ!

Enjoyed our time with JJ exploring London. He really was proactive in making it personal to what we would enjoy.

Gessica was an amazing London ambassador, tour guide, foodie, conversationalist! She took all my suggestions and folded them into our day. She even managed to meet me at my hotel. I was nervous going solo, thinking she’d get bored of me but on the contrary we got along famously and the dat flew by and was incredibly fun, as well as delicious.I would book her again in two seconds flat. Book this tour you will not regret it.

Solo? Group? Couple? Gessi can take care of you! I was solo and was worried she’d be bored with me but no worries! Many food and London memories were made on this fantastic food and mini london tour. Gessi will cater to YOU and your needs, wishes, desires. She will make your dreams come true! Book this. Don’t wait!

Gessi is amazing. She is kind, fun, adventurous, knowledgeable and above all easy to be with. I was worried me being solo might bore her but she is lovely to chat, eat, learn from. Best food, walking tour Ever!

Knowing we had already been to many popular attractions, Gessica took us to off-the-beaten-path areas of London to ensure we saw something new. She also took the time to plan visits covering different ethnicities, while working around a dairy allergy for the treats of the tour. We had a most wonderful time and really enjoyed Gessica’s company.

love bea! very knowledgeable and friendly

We had a wonderful time with Bea. She was incredibly knowledgeable about London. She knew lots of interesting facts that are not commonly know. She was very accommodating and allowed us to adjust our plans based off of what we wanted to see or spend more time doing. It was raining a lot that day but she remained positive and came up with alternative methods of transportation so we weren’t always in the rain. I would definitely use her again.

I took the "Private Custom London Tour with a Local". My tour guide was Beata (Bea) and she was awesome. It supposed to be me and 2 others but they canceled at the last moment so I went solo with Bea. We had a great tour and hit all the sites. I had purchased an all day pass at the airport that morning to get to London and used it on the tour to jump on busses and the subway and then to get back to my airport hotel, that worked out great for 24 pounds. We hit all the sites I wanted to see including Big Ben, Cathedrals, Buckingham Palace, Harry Potter locations and many others. We stopped for hot chocolate along the way to take a brief rest. It was an awesome day and she was an awesome guide

She gave me the grand tour of London and I really had a great solo tour. thanks

Dan made our trip to London memorable! We had requested an all day, insider's view of London and he did just that. We wandered all over the city -- through neighborhoods and to significant historical places. Dan made sure we experienced markets, ate amazing food, and enjoyed a few pubs along the way. Our only disappointment was the lines at the Tower of London were so long, we opted to skip going in. In hindsight, we wish we would have purchased tickets in advance. But, all in all, Dan was kind, gracious, and a lot of fun. We highly recommend... Greg, Chris & Holt

Amazing experienced with the help of our host. Dan introduced us London. He is the best!

When we booked our Urban Food Tour we expected to try various foods during our outing. However, Dan was just so excited to show us around his home city, his energy was infectious and we got to see things we weren't expecting. Dan is so knowledgeable about not only the great food spots, but also the history and culture of London. We had great conversation and we wished Dan could have hung out with us on the rest of our trip as well. We plan to go back to London next year and hopefully Dan is available again for another awesome tour.

This was my first time in London and I could not have asked for a better experience! Dan was a great person to spend the day with, friendly knowledgeable and very willing to accommodate the kinds of things that I wanted to do and see. He provided great suggestions and showed me some really cool local pubs and bars - the perfect way to spend a day in London! Very grateful for this experience!
