What you'll do

Discover some 20 of London’s most famous attractions, as well as getting in on the secret of where some hidden local spots are just around the corner. From a wine bar hidden underneath Trafalgar Square to Maltby Street Market near the world-famous Borough Market, you’ll experience a local spin on unmissable London, discovering hidden secrets as you explore.

It will be like spending the day with a friend as you flit between landmarks and amble along the banks of the River Thames for a unique view of icons like Tower Bridge and Westminster. And when it comes to the best view of the city, which of course is a must-see, our hosts know just the secret spot. No, it’s not the observation deck of the Shard, it’s the observation deck at the Tate Modern.

Where you’ll go

With a local insider to lead the way, you’ll go on a whirlwind experience of the heart of London. From the narrow tangle of streets in Soho that are jam-packed with quirky eateries and bars to the elegant piazza of Covent Garden and down to the River Thames, this small pocket of London is packed with many of the iconic sights you’ve been dreaming of seeing!

Stroll west from Trafalgar Square for the ultimate view of Buckingham Palace, and down through Westminster. You could amble along the south bank of the Thames, hop on a ferry (local hack, you can use your Oyster Card!) and head to the 1000-year-old Borough Market, where you can feast gourmet goods which reflect the incredible diversity of London itself.

    Very delightful personality, and was very good at tailoring the tour to our interests.

    Ana was a fantastic tour guide. We got to visit all the sites we wanted to. She went out of her way to drop us back off at our hotel. We got to experience the tube which I've heard about for years. I cannot think of anything she could have done differently to make our experience better. I highly recommend her.

    We saw so many great things we would have missed without Naomi guiding us. Wish we could have taken this tour first as we learned how to get around on the tube and buses. Book her for your first two days! Thanks Naomi!!!!

    She was also able to share with us the opening of the London bridge. She made sure to ask the correct questions and followed through with what we wanted.
