Absolutely incredible experience with Delia as our tour guide! She was informative, knowledgeable, and showed us parts of the city we never could’ve discovered on our own. Everything was perfectly timed—relaxed yet full of amazing sights. She was especially thoughtful with the pace, tailoring the tour to suit my 5-year-old daughter. Couldn’t recommend her more!

What you’ll do

Get ready for an epic London adventure! Imagine spending the day diving into the heart of the city, where iconic landmarks and hidden gems await, all guided by a local host who knows all the best spots. And hey, if there's something you want to see more of or skip, just let your host know – it's all about making the day perfect for you!

First up, you'll feel like royalty at Buckingham Palace. Snap some photos of the grand facade, and if you're lucky with the timing, catch the Changing of the Guard – it's like stepping into a live-action postcard!

Next, you'll pass Westminster Abbey and Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower, actually, for those of us in the know). These iconic sights are awe-inspiring in person. Stand in their shadows, soak up the history, and let your host fill you in on some cool facts while you capture the moment.

Then, you'll head over to the London Eye. While you won't go on it, the views from the ground are still jaw-dropping, with the River Thames and the city's skyline stretching out before you. Your host will point out landmarks and share fun trivia that'll make your Instagram captions pop.

A short stroll takes you to the vibrant Southbank Centre and Gabriel's Wharf. This place is buzzing with energy, street performers, and art installations. You'll even pop into the Royal Festival Hall to see what's happening.

Next, dive into contemporary art at Tate Modern. The building itself is an industrial marvel, and the art inside is just as captivating. Your host will make sure you catch all the highlights.

As you pass by Shakespeare's Globe, you'll get a taste of Elizabethan London. Imagine the Bard's plays coming to life right where you stand.

Lunchtime at Borough Market is a foodie's dream. Guided by your host, explore stalls brimming with gourmet cheeses, freshly baked pastries, and more. It's the perfect spot to relax, refuel, and enjoy the lively market buzz.

After lunch, visit the serene Southwark Cathedral, a historic oasis amid the city hustle. Take a breath and relax a little before you head on to the rest of this amazing journey.

Then, it's on to Tower Bridge. This iconic landmark offers stunning views and photo ops that'll make your friends back home jealous. There's a reason London is known for this bridge.

Approaching the Tower of London, your host will spin tales of its intriguing past while you snap some epic photos of this legendary fortress. Take a moment to enjoy the stunning architecture of this majestic bridge.

Leadenhall Market is next, with its charming Victorian architecture. You'll feel like a witch or wizard at Hogwarts walking through Diagon Alley.

Then, head to the tranquil ruins of St. Dunstan in the East, where lush greenery intertwines with ancient stone walls – a perfect hidden gem with an intriguing story.

Strolling by the grand St. Paul's Cathedral, admire its majestic dome and intricate facade. The architecture tells stories of centuries past.

A short bus ride then whisks you to Somerset House, where the elegant courtyard is a must-see.

Covent Garden is a hive of activity with street performers and delightful boutiques. Remember to grab some souvenirs!

Nearby, Neal's Yard offers a splash of color with its quirky, independent cafes and shops—perfect for a quick exploration.

As your adventure wraps up, explore Trafalgar Square with its iconic fountains and statues, and then head to the lively Piccadilly Circus. The famous neon signs and bustling crowds create an electric atmosphere.

Finally, end your day in Chinatown, where the streets are vibrant and full of flavor. It's the perfect spot for a quick snack or dinner, with plenty of options to satisfy any craving. Plus, it's just a hop away from Soho if you're up for more exploring.

Throughout the day, your local host will lead you off the beaten path, uncovering hidden corners and local secrets. This journey through London is designed to give you an insider's perspective, making it a fun and unforgettable experience.
