We had a fantastic time on Luciana’s Mayfair Hidden Gems Walk, booked through WithLocals. This wasn’t your typical tour—it felt like spending a morning with a dear friend who lives in London and knows all its best-kept secrets. Luciana was warm, engaging, and incredibly well-informed. Her deep knowledge of the area’s history and how it has evolved gave real depth to the experience. What made it truly special, though, was the way she tuned into our personal interests and adjusted the walk on the fly to match them. She took us to quiet corners, beautiful little side streets, and fascinating spots we never would have found on our own. It was exactly the off-the-beaten-path experience we were hoping for—and more. We’ll absolutely book with her again on our next trip to London. If you're looking for something truly memorable and personal, don't miss a chance to tour with Luciana!

Luciana was exceptional! My sister and I learned so much of the areas we visited. We loved the uniqueness of our tour. Learned some history, wonderful boutique shops, dining experiences and visiting all of the neighborhoods. We consider this the nightlight of our trip! Luciana is just a nice and very informative person.

Luciana was fantastic. She greeted us warmly and with a wealth of knowledge about the entire area. Exploring London with her added an extra layer of delight, especially as we visited Savile Row and the Academy. This tour was the highlight of my wife’s birthday, and it would of not been possible without Luciana help. We learned so much history within the vicinity An exceptional experience overall; my wholehearted endorsement for anyone seeking a remarkable tour!

This tour was absolutely amazing!! Luciana did such a great job of targeting our interests, which was not easy since we spanned three generations! So many beautiful, unexpected sites which were quite picturesque. Her knowledge of history and fashion enhances every part of the tour. We shopped everywhere from Harrod's to Carnaby Street! Luciana is adorable and by the end of the tour we felt like (and wished she was) part of our family. She expertly leads you through shopping, history, and photography, making the most of every minute of this fun-filled glorious day.

Do this tour to learn the ins and outs of the city. We did not buy anything during the tour but went back to several of the shops and purchased items later in the week. Guide was knowledgeable and showed some “off the path” shopping spots with the history behind it. So glad this tour was day 1.

Luciana was delightful! I could not of picked a better tour guide! I wanted to take my daughter shopping and to see some sights while we were in London for the day, but wanted someone that knew where they were going. Luciana had contacted us beforehand and we came up with a custom plan for the day! My daughter LOVED it and Luciana!

Excellent for the experience of the Luciana guide who took us through Picadilly, Regent, Mayfair. For design venues and with British style and history. I met and shopped at Fortun & Mason in Barbour. Pleasure of the tour and its architecture

During the tour I met many brands that I did not know existed and learned many new things. Service and treatment is excellent. Highly recommended.
