Overview

Think of this personalized experience with one of our hosts like exploring London with a friend. You’ll spot famous attractions, snap a few photos, sip a coffee, a craft gin or a pint together (whichever is your vibe), browse shops - you get the idea. Your host will also share with you a few hidden gems along the way too. From Buckingham Palace and afternoon tea (although sadly not with Her Majesty) to exploring a diverse neighborhood and feasting on street eats, your half a day in London with a host will be a whirlwind of fun. 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. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Great time in London one on one with a guide!

Published on Aug, 2024

Tom was a fantastic guide and was incredibly knowledgeable about London and the fascinating history behind it. He took me to lots of cool stuff including London's oldest pub and one of London's oldest wine cellars. He was very fun and entertaining and went the extra mile to show me a good time. My most memorable experience was meeting the gum artist on the Millennium bridge he told me about.

Naomi was a wonderful guide to the city, showing us major and out-of-the-way sites that we would never have found on her own. She tailored our trip for us, so we really got to see what we wanted to!

We had an incredible experience and were able to see so much of London in just four hours. Becky, our guide, was amazing and so knowledgeable. She was personable and shared so much information. I would highly recommend

Half day in London

Published on Feb, 2020

We had an absolutely amazing time with Naomi as our guide. Naomi was super responsive to requests and ideas even before we left the USA and the day of the tour was very flexible. We had super cold winds and one very tired kid and she made great suggestions for keeping warm in a fun manner and helping keep the kids entertained!! I was very pleased with advice for when we go to Paris too!!
