A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Spend half a day exploring London and experience what makes it so unique. From the Royal Parks to centuries of history along the Thames, pop-up markets to a thriving street art scene, your host can’t wait to share the diversity of their city.
Perhaps visit historic markets like Old Spitalfields, where you’ll find vintage clothes, British-designed and made jewelry, and quirky artwork, or you could head further east to Hackney and taste London’s booming brew culture as you stop by a quirky craft brewery like Howling Hops.
Or if it’s a quintessentially British experience you’re dreaming of, what about visiting Buckingham Palace and then indulging in a British afternoon tea at one of your local's favorite spots?

David was a true delightful tour guide. Having been to London several times we were looking for a more personalized tour and he delivered just that. David was a great communicator and planned our morning together extremely well. We really appreciated that he got in touch with us before we even left on our trip and even met us at our hotel to start our tour. It was a wonderful day spent exploring central London. Thank you so much David!!

We did a four-hour walking tour of the main areas of London. Our guide was perfect. We had hoped it would not be a cookie cutter tour that one could get anywhere, and it wasn’t. The facts and stories she shared about London were fascinating. She also took our interests into consideration and threw in a few surprises that were much appreciated. We’ll have some great stories to share with our loved ones upon our return home. My family and I highly recommend her!
