Hi, I’m Astrid, your local host in the vibrant London. Whether it’s grand palaces or quiet cobbled streets, I love how every corner tells a story waiting to be discovered. One of my favorite things to do is simply walk around and soak up the atmosphere. You’ll often find me exploring neighborhoods like Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Mayfair, and Westminster, uncovering hidden gems and enjoying the unique charm each area offers. London is a city of contrasts, and I love how every district has its own personality. With a deep passion for London’s social history, I enjoy connecting the dots between the city’s past and present. If you’re curious about the fascinating stories behind London’s landmarks or want to explore its iconic neighborhoods, I’d love to guide you through this extraordinary city!

astrid était vraiment à l'écoute de mes intérêts ainsi que de mes demandes. J'avais déjà mentionné ce que j'avais vu de Londres et que je ne souhaitais pas refaire. De plus comme la température était fraîche elle a su saisir certains moments pour rentrer se réchauffer à l'intérieur. Astrid really listened to my interests as well as my requests. I had already mentioned what I had seen of London and which I did not wish to do again. Moreover, as the temperature was cool, she was able to seize certain moments to go inside and warm up.

It was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Astrid, was very knowledgeable! Showed us details that we would never see on our own. We even went inside the courthouse! Best 4 hours we spent wondering around and sightseeing by foot! We definitely recommend the tour and our guide!

Astrid was amazing. I got to see so much of London that I wouldn’t have seen if I was on a bus tour. I learned so much about London and its history. Highly recommend!!

Astrid told us a bit of London history and about the architecture along the way. And a few surprises! We enjoyed our day with Astrid!
