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?

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!
