The day is yours and the city awaits! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique.

Great tour for a layover!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.

Great way to see the major sights in half a day!

Published on Oct, 2024

It's been sometime since my wife and I had been to London. We wanted to spend our first day revisiting sights with a tour guide to share the rich history and show us the ones not to be missed. Tem, our tour guide, was awesome. Full of stories, historical information and passionate about London. We started in Westminster and we went non/stop for 4.5 hours. We love to walk and put on many miles. You won't be disappointed.

A perfect London tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had Naomi take us on a wonderful tour of London! Traveled the world but never London, and we shared with her in advance other tours already planned, indicating we didn’t want to duplicate the effort, and wanted to see things that would be unique to any tourist. So she completely nailed it! Meeting us at our hotel at 10:00 am at our request, we take the tube and go through streets and see galleries and stores and had coffee and a pastry at a truly local place. Walked through Covent Gardens and 2 bars that were nearby the law school (even the store where you buy your wig to wear to go to Court). We even met 2 people who were studying bee pollination! Toward the end we asked her to leave us near a local pub so we could have a pint. It was past our time with her, and we offered to buy her a pint, and SHE was having so much fun she joined us and we shared photos of her experiences in India and ours in a South African safari earlier this year! I would highly recommend Naomi in a heartbeat if you want to have a truly unique experience in London!!!
