"We had a great time with Gregory. He was very knowledgeable and we throughly enjoyed our time. We wanted to be off the beaten path and see parts of London we haven’t seen before. It was a great time, would recommend to anyone who wants something a lot less touristy. "
"We absolutely enjoyed our hidden gems tour of the City of London. Chris had so much knowledge of the area and its history and really showed us places that we would NEVER have discovered on our own. His membership to the pewter guild added so much inside information that other guides could not possibly know. Thank you Chris for a brilliant, informative tour, and the excellent coffee stop! "

"Tom does an absolut marvellous job. We enjoyed every single moment of the tour and especially loved talking to him and exchanging views even if the topics were not always street art relaxed. Tom's knowledge on so many aspects of the town is amazing. We can only highly recommend booking a tour with him. Thanks again."

Full if historical knowledge
"David was an amazing guide, full of historical information. I learned so much from him and he was so pleasant to talk to."
"We had an afternoon in London, and Anthony made it so much more memorable than it would have been if we'd just wandered on our own. We saw some great landmarks, got to experience some real off-the-beaten-path spots, and felt much more connected to London as a result. Just a great tour all around."
"We had a fabulous London Highlights and Hidden Gems Tour. Anthony showed us the sites and shared fun and interesting stories. He gave us plenty of photo ops and took us on the Tube which gave us confidence to take the Tube for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend taking a tour with Anthony."
"David took me and my husband on a very pleasant stroll through Mayfair and the surrounding area. He uncovered many neighborhood gems, places we never would have paid any attention to if we had been unaccompanied by a guide. I took pictures of so many of the places he showed us as I would love to return and explore them even more. The tour was exactly what I was looking for, to experience beautiful London neighborhood gems away from crowds and tourist. Thank you David for a wonderful tour!"
"Anthony was a fantastic guide - we had a time hearing and exchanging stories about London’s famous and less famous sites. He was great with our kids and kept them interested. 100% would recommend!"
