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?

This tour was great because we got to cater it to our specific interests. We stopped and had the best pint of Guinness in London at The Devonshire. We had dim sum in ChinaTown. Darryl, our guide, made us feel very comfortable navigating the city and using the underground. He’s a cool guy, and a photographer, so our pics turned out fantastic!

Ana Maria was a fantastic host! She shared her own “hidden gems” of the city that I would never have found on my own and packed SO much into my time with her that I felt I saw everything (and more!) Her local knowledge and historical insights were so valuable and I feel like I learned a lot while having fun. Ana Maria was so helpful and warm- I would highly recommend her. Thank you!
