What To Expect
Piccadilly Circus
At the start of our tour, we will explore the history of the sites that surround Piccadilly Circus and will uncover how sometimes, tour guides, guide books and London locals don't always get their history wrong. This cautionary tale involves one of London's most famous landmarks - and proves that Londoners never call anything by its proper name! We will also explore how a modern Italian restaurant, which hides its beautiful neo-byzantine decor, is linked to a wide range of TV shows and the worlds most famous consulting detective.
After walking down Piccadilly, where you will be told all about Hatchards, Simpson's, and Fortnum and Mason stores that are linked to writers, politicians, and royalty we will stop briefly outside the new Cavendish Hotel, and discover the sordid past of this London landmark. While the old hotel famous for the 'Duchess of Jermyn Street' - Rosa Lewis, may be gone, the new hotel gets its name from its scandalous predecessor which had linked to Edward VII and Winston Churchill!

5.00Got a private view of businesses and Windsor castle. Was a lot of walking but it was well worth it. Train station a little hectic but our guide got us there.
Having a personal guide was so much better than being in a group.

5.00Michael was very knowledgeable, best time to get to the changing of the guards, best place to stand to get the best view. At Windsor Castle he knew the best way to get round and spoke about the history behind the paintings.
Dewi is a great guide!

5.00Such a fun and comprehensive experience! We enjoyed learning about the little known tid-bits along the way, exploring the hidden gems you don't always get a chance to see on a walking tour and learning about the history as well. Windsor Castle was amazing. Our guide, Dewi, was a wealth of information, one of the best tours I've ever taken. Excellent!
