What you'll do

If it’s been a while since you were in town or this is your first visit, joining a Londoner to help you find your feet is the perfect way to get your trip off to a good start. Discover how to navigate the London underground and buses, get oriented in the city streets, hear snippets of history and get tips for how to enjoy London like a local.

Along the way, you’ll see some iconic sights like Big Ben and the London Eye, weave your way through the crowds on some of the city’s most iconic streets like Oxford Street and there’s always time to squeeze in a pint in an authentic British pub! It’s definitely easier to find your feet with a friend by your side, especially when they’re spilling a local secret or two.

Where you’ll go

You’ll explore the historic heart of central London on the north bank of the River Thames. From the timeless elegance of Regents Street - a shopper’s paradise - you can duck down a side street and emerge in eclectic Soho, a small district of tight-knit lanes that are bursting with quirky bars, shops, and places to eat.

Keep walking south and you’ll pass through charming Covent Garden until you reach the Strand, one of London’s busiest streets which runs parallel to the river. You’ll spot famous landmarks like Trafalgar Square, and amongst all the double-decker red buses and black cabs, you’ll have found your feet in London without even realizing it!

Reviews

    This is my 2nd review- we had Tom for two different tours- I’m just copy/pasting because there’s not much to change- other than to say- Tom was able to make everything so interesting and fun for not just my 9 year olds- but for my 17 year old and my husband- no small feat. :) Plus this Prior review : Tom was amazing!! He knows the city, the history- EVERYTHING - inside and out! Tom is engaging and fun! He made that first day out in London easy and enjoyable to both myself and my young boys (twin 9 year olds)! I’ve been to London many times- but he showed us hidden treasures I never even knew about- and again the History- he brought it life!! I’ve traveled all over the world - and have had the pleasure of enjoying many different tour guides- Tom is ABSOLUTELY one of THE BEST I’ve ever toured with! His personality, knowledge, patience, humor … and so much more- he’s the BEST! Can’t recommend high enough!!

    Alan was prompt. Met us at hotel lobby. Our tour was informative and tailored to our interests. Alan went out of his way to be sure we were headed in the right direction for our lunch reservation. Got us a cab. Overall we were very pleased.

    Great way to kick off our London trip, especially after our overnight flight…got the blood circulating and got us oriented to the city. Paolo is easy going, very pleasant and knowledgeable about London. We enjoyed our stroll through Covent Garden, Chinatown, SoHo. Recommend for family with teens.

    Very thorough and thoughtful tour of Westminster. Particularly enjoyed the depth of Maggie’s historical knowledge including the monarchy, political, social norms and architecture. Nicely paced and very engaging. She politely responded to all of our dumb questions. Well done, Maggie!
