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.

    My father is in a wheelchair and had specific places he wanted to go. I asked for a guide who could be sensitive and supportive of his needs. Ana Maria was fabulous! She knows the city, adjusts quickly to changing needs, and has a get-to-yes attitude. She helped me learn how to navigate the cultural and logistic issues of traveling around London and England. I am so glad that I reserved this tour - made the rest of the trip so much better in so many ways!

    Ana Maria is very knowledgeable and was very accommodating on designing the tour based on my likes and interests. Perfect to see London in one day!

    We had four adults on our tour, and the first thing that our guide, Ana Maria, did was to make sure she knew what we were all interested in. I appreciated this, because only ONE person filled out the pre-tour survey! Based on our answers, she modified the plan and we visited places that everyone in our group enjoyed. We commented over and over that we saw and learned so many things that we would have missed without Ana Maria as a guide. And even though I had studied abroad in London we saw and experienced things that I had not seen or experienced before. A really great investment of your time and money - highly recommend!
