You know those spectacular views of Big Ben, Somerset House and St Paul's Cathedral that you have always wanted to see in person? I'll show you this and more highlights as we journey from the London Eye to Tower Bridge!
"Anthony was such a great local guide who knew so much about the Borough Market area and the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, conversation, and history and left completely full and happy! Kids ages 8 and 14 also enjoyed the tastings and he catered the route to keep them entertained too. Delicious! "
"We had a wonderful tour of Southbank with Chris. 3 young kids can be challenging but he kept them engaged and was mindful of when we needed a break. We learned so much and covered a lot of ground "
"Chris was just the most wonderful guide . He was very knowledgeable about the history of London and explained it beautifully to the kids and us . I am
So glad we chose Chris and can’t wait to go on more tours with him . My kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly . He answered all our questions patiently and in great detail. Thank you Chris . We really appreciated the time we spent with you. "
"We very much enjoyed this tour with Anthony. We had booked the Fish&Chips/medieval London tour and it was a very good mix of enjoying great food at Borough Market and seeing hidden gems of London. Worth every penny. Also our 12-year old son really liked it. We can fully recommend it."

"Anthony is full of energy. He met us promptly and then captivated our family as he shared his love of history, medieval London, and food. The casual tour was full of fun stories, laughter, and great food. I can’t recommend him more highly."

Good fun!
"Very interesting! Knowledgeable, entertaining, very nice guy."
"We booked this tour for our client who was visiting London. Before the tour, we reached out to Gregory and told him a bit about what she (a single woman traveling on her own) was looking for. Gregory listened and customized a tour just for her. We have heard back that he was a wonderful tour guide and that she would highly recommend him to anyone visiting London. "
