What To Expect
Wellington Arch
Apsley House, the home of the Duke of Wellington, dates back to 1825 and has the exquisite address of Number One London. The Wellington Arch that stands opposite, was moved slightly to become an outer gate for Buckingham Palace and today faces Constitution Hill. After waiting for the Duke of Wellington to die, Queen Victoria had the huge statue of Wellington taken down and it was moved to Aldershot Barracks. A smaller statue of Wellington now stands where the arch originally stood opposite Apsley House. In 1912 the current quadriga statue was placed on top of the arch and is one of the largest equestrian statues you will find in Europe to date. The centrepiece features Nike the Goddess of Victory riding the chariot.
Houses of Parliament
The first record we have of the original building on this site dates back to the 11th century AD, when it was the Palace of the Monarch under William the Conqueror. The Palace burnt down in 1512 and had to be rebuilt. The Palace was totally destroyed again in 1834 except for the Crypt, the Jewel Tower, and the beautiful Westminster Hall that we are still lucky enough to have today, which dates back to 1097 under King William Rufus. The Houses of Parliament were rebuilt from 1834 to 1870 by Architects Augustus Pugin and Charles Barry. It is known today as the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the Houses of Parliament sit on the north bank of the River Thames.

5.00We had a wonderful time in England. We saw so much in a short time thanks to Bryan and his knowledge of London and the surrounding areas. We visited Cambridge, Cotswolds, Blenheim and all the sights in London and Westminster. We loved our time in this beautiful country

5.00Bryan provides an excellent sightseeing tour of London. When we met him he asked what we wanted to see and as soon as he realized that we were rock and roll fans, he tailored our tour to include numerous sites that included the Beatles and other major rock stars. (He even took a video of us walking the Abbey Road crosswalk.). His knowledge of Londons history as well as rock and roll was extensive and very interesting. Bryan has a very engaging personality and you leave the tour feeling as thought you’ve made a new friend. We cant say enough good things about this experience and would strongly recommend his services. We look forward to seeing him again on our next trip to London.

5.00Morris was amazing on our recent 4hr tour of London! There were 4 adults & he honed in on each individual’s interest & proceeded to take us to the requested stops. He took time to explain, identify, & give us a much needed history lesson. Many pictures were taken! So much fun & information all wrapped up in one. If you want a quick overview of London in a short time frame, I highly recommend you hire Morris!
The BEST tour ever!

5.00We had a great tour with Michael, our driver. He had a lot of good spots for us to see, but was also willing to include input from us. We also enjoyed learning about current events in England, and how that related to our lives in the United States. 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸 There's not a thing we would change about our tour, and are grateful for the experience. All the best, Andrew W.
Great way to start your London visit

5.00Bryan was on time and always dependable. He picked us up from the airport and gave a great tour. He is quite friendly and very knowledgeable. He also took us to our ship in Southampton at the end of our London visit. We plan to recommend him to all our friends and family.

5.00Group of 8 … Bryan and Morris deserve 5 stars for our day. Both were very knowledgeable about history and current London events. This was the second time Bryan has hosted us and we will come back for a third visit soon. Our friends also have them in their favorite list. We highly recommend both Bryan and Morris!!!!
