Generally the sights are relatively quiet and we always practice social distancing but at some locations it is possible small sections may have small crowds so we will do our best to avoid them though social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide. To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point. This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour. Your guide will also have a mask with them.

Stephen’s knowledge of London and history comes to life in this tour. We covered the government section including Buckingham and St James palaces, Big Ben and Parliament. We stopped in Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, China Town and finished at Piccadilly. Along the way, we ducked into quaint neighborhoods where famous artists and dignitaries had resided. Stepehen provided several little known facts about British royalty and military history. He possesses the ability to pivot as well if there is a particular spot or site you would care to see.

Our group of six had a great walking tour with Stephen, not even the rain could dampen the experience. The pacing was great and included plenty of insights and a pub stop! I would highly recommend this tour for the customized experience.
It rarely rains in London with Stephen!

What an amazing tour! Stephen was an incredible guide whose knowledge of London and its history is most impressive. At every turn, he taught us something new. I highly recommend his private tour over large group ones.
One of the best

Kevin was a wonderful and very passionate guide who told us so much about the sites we visited. An enjoyable walk at a leisurely place visiting some off the beaten track places tourists would miss that locals know about.

We booked the 5 hour walking tour, Stephen, our guide was fantastic! We were able to see all of the typical touristy sites along with many of the “secret” gardens and places that only a local would know about. Stephen is very knowledgeable, we learned new many things about London. The pace was perfect, the jokes were funny! Thank you, Stephen
Highlight of our trip.

Stephen gave an absolutely incredible tour and probably knows just about everything there is to know about London. There are endless ways to personalize the tours and I do not plan on visiting London without scheduling one first. Such an amazing time for travelers of all ages, interests, etc. and cannot recommend enough!
