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?

Sean Taylor made this an amazing experience. Me and my 15 year old daughter traveled to London together and we had an amazing day with ST. He was very considerate in our plans to accommodate both of our wants. We both felt very comfortable with him right away. I wish I could have him at all of our travel places!

A great way to spend a day getting to know London. Alan tailored our tour to our situation and interests and was an easy going knowledgeable host and guide. We did the tour at the beginning of our visit to London as a great way to get oriented and figure out what else we wanted to do during our stay. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.
