5.00This was one of the best tours we have ever taken!! Rich was not only funny and friendly, he was extremely knowledgeable regarding London and full of wonderful “fluff” information (I had a lot of questions about the royals). We only had one day in London, but we loved it and will be back… and we will, for sure, book another tour with Rich!!
Very good tour London

5.00Had such a good time on this London tour with a Londoner! Was fun and really easygoing. Rich was genuinely friendly and interactive, which made the experience feel much more personal and real instead of just scripted. Honestly just a really enjoyable way to explore London. Definitely recommend if you want a fun day out and to see the city properly.
Amazing time with local guide!

5.00We had a lovely time doing a walking tour with Rich. He was highly knowledgeable about this home town as well as british culture and history. We covered about 10 main spots in the historical center of London and Rich definitely contributed to satisfy our interest about this iconic city, sharing with us some fun facts and curiosities too. He also gave us some recommendations about local food places and must-do activities while still in London. I would definitely recommend this tour and can't wait to be back in London for a second round. Thank you Rich, until next time! 👋🏼🙏🏼
