5.00Thank you for the great and unique tour! We were able to get to know a part of London from a very special perspective and we all said we want to come back soon to take another look at the special places, restaurants and shops that we were shown. It was incredibly varied with beautiful places, historical backgrounds, architecture, and special shops that we would not have found on our own. The tour was definitely one of the highlights of our weekend! Highly recommended!
Exploring Mayfair: A Fascinating Journey Through London’s History and Fashion with Luciana

5.00I enjoyed a wonderful tour of Mayfair with Luciana at the end of August. Luciana seamlessly adapted the tour to match my interests in London’s history, particularly the changes during the imperial era and industrialization. We covered the main sights, and Luciana shared fascinating insights about the buildings, the people who lived in them, and the neighborhoods we explored. We also spent a significant amount of time discussing social issues and the class structure that existed under the English nobility. Originally from Argentina, Luciana brings a unique outsider’s perspective while having lived and studied in London long enough to be deeply immersed in its culture. She has a refined understanding of fashion—both how it was practiced 150 years ago among the nobility and today’s trends. As a fashion designer, she offers an insider’s view of how fashion is created and how it evolves with social change. Luciana is personable, soft-spoken, and has an engaging smile. I highly recommend her tour if you’re looking for a unique experience during your stay in London.
Wet but wonderful day in Mayfair

5.00My wife and I had the pleasure of having Luciana provide us with a wonderful sightseeing visit to the Mayfair area of London. Despite pouring rain for most of the walking tour Luciana made it enjoyable and eventful. Her knowledge and enthusiasm of the are, its history and the fashion scene in London generally made the day special.
Fantastic Experience

5.00Luciana is a wonderful and insightful guide into the fashion history of London. I learned so much and had such a lovely time. She tailored and personalised the tour to give me a well rounded experience, helped open my eyes on things to look for while going past the shops on historical streets, took me through exciting fashion installations and excellent shops for gift ideas since the holidays are coming up. This was a fantastic experience! I most definitely recommend:)
