How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll join one of our local London hosts to discover the city in a way that’s as unique as your family is, seeing the places that will keep everyone entertained - we can’t guarantee it, but we’re pretty sure there’ll be no sulking on this trip.
Maybe you see yourselves exploring interactive and exciting museums in Kensington if the heavens open (which they invariably do), or perhaps you’re a more outdoorsy bunch and would like to picnic in a park or climb Primrose Hill for a more local-style day out.
Visit the Tower of London if you’re feeling feudal, or stop by Buckingham Palace for afternoon tea (not really, but you can see the palace, and we know just the spot around the corner if you are in the mood for scones, jam, and cream).
If tummies are rumbling a little more than that, you could eat your way around the world in Borough Market, then cruise along the river (local hack: you can hop on a TFL ferry and not pay a small fortune for a tourist cruise!) to see the iconic sights.
You need to let us know your style and pace, and we’ll take care of the rest! London awaits, and that family photo album isn’t going to fill itself.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Naomi as our guide. Naomi was super responsive to requests and ideas even before we left the USA and the day of the tour was very flexible. We had super cold winds and one very tired kid and she made great suggestions for keeping warm in a fun manner and helping keep the kids entertained!! I was very pleased with advice for when we go to Paris too!!

Thanks to Sandro, our Italian guide who has lived in London for over 10 years, visiting the historical heart of London was fun and never boring. It was interesting also for our kids, Niccolò and Cosimo (10 and 12 year old!) Grazie a Sandro, la nostra guida italiana ormai a Londra da 10 anni, il giro tra la Londra storica è risultato divertente e mai noioso, interessante anche per Niccolò e Cosimo ( 10 e 12 anni!).

It was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.
