How your day could unfold
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?

We had a lovely walkabout with AnaMarie. She instructed us on use of the public transit system, which was so helpful, and was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites we were seeing. She also was a great resource for places to go that were FREE admission. Thank you ANA MARIA!
