Live like a Londoner

With too many world-famous attractions to count, from the Big Ben to Westminster Abbey, London is a city where you could easily spend a month stuck in a tourist trap. But take the path a little off-the-beaten-track, and private London tours can reveal a London your guidebook doesn’t even know exists. See the lesser-known landmarks and secret gems loved by Londoners on private London day tours with a native Londoner leading the way. You may find that the most memorable moments from your London trip aren’t the top 10 attractions, but the unfiltered experiences of the local lifestyle.

Enjoyed the off-the-beaten path experience.

We spent the day with Becky, who was absolutely lovely! She arrived promptly and took us on a leisurely and fun tour of the city, providing a bit of history for the areas we visited and definitely taking us off the beaten path, away from your typical tourist traps, which is exactly what we wanted. We spent several hours with her, but the day just flew by! If you're looking for a nice way to explore London like a local, we can't recommend Becky enough. She took our ideas and crafted the perfect day; we will absolutely book with her again the next time we're in town!

We spent the day with Becky, who was absolutely lovely! She arrived promptly and took us on a leisurely and fun tour of the city, away from most of the typical tourist areas. We wandered gorgeous little lanes, ate lunch at an amazing hidden gem of an Italian restaurant, ate chocolates from the Queen's favorite chocolatier and window shopped at some amazing antique shops, and visited an amazing museum called the Wallace Collection. We spent several hours with Becky, but the day just flew by. If you're looking for a different way to see London, we can't recommend Becky enough; we will absolutely book with her again when we come back!

Becky’s knowledge of London and laid back nature was the perfect fit for our day as first timers open to seeing anything and everything.
