Hi, I’m Abe
I’ve lived in London for 39 years
I speak English, French
I am International Tour Provider
Though I've lived in London for most of my life, I love being a tourist in it; taking visitors to see its amazing well-known attractions such as its museums (the Museum of London is my favorite as it offers a terrific insight into the city's past), theatres, cathedrals, palaces, etc, but also its lesser-known hidden gems such as its delightful and colorful open-air markets, parks and streets. I also love taking people to what I call 'village' London; Hampstead tops my list. It's so great to have coffee or ice cream on a street bench there, watch the passers-by watching us, take a look at private residences, and then take a leisurely stroll through the fabulous Hampstead Heath to a tube station on the other side and take a ride on the world's oldest underground railway. I'm also a huge rugby fan, so huge that I bought a house across the road from the homegrown of my favorite team, Saracens. And of course, I love taking visitor rugby fans to matches there.

Our private tour with Abraham was possibly the best part of our trip to London! Abraham started out even before our visit bean, providing a proposed tour, and then assuring us along the way, even during the tour itself that any changes to his proposed tour could be changed on the fly. Abraham was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, which is exactly what we were looking for. We specifically asked to not be taken into shopping areas, and we are not foodies, so we did not get any highlights of those areas, which was just fine with us. I think to get the best experience from any guide is to let him (or her) know that you are most interested in the history and life of the city you’re in, and Abraham excelled at that. If you have the chance to get a tour with Abraham, you won’t be disappointed!
