Overview

Want to tick off all the main sights in half a day? Prefer fun local stories over long lists of facts and dates? This is the private tour for you!

From Big Ben to Buckingham Palace to Borough Market to Tower of London and a whole lot more, you'll cover every major landmark (and a few hidden ones..) with a guide who'll keep things light and engaging for families or groups of any kind.

We think the best way to see the city is on foot, so get ready for an entertaining adventure full of parks, bridges, famous streets and iconic sights - all at a pace that suits you.

And if you're thirsty at the end, join your guide at a classic British pub for a post-hike pint!
