Hello, and welcome to London! I'm Don, a London Blue Badge Guide since 2016, a graduate of Oxford university and the former Director of the London Society. Let me take you round this incredible city - from the sites that every visitor must see, to the places that even most Londoners don't know about. Whether your stay is for half a day or for a week or more, I can help you experience the very best of London at a pace that suits you. Discover the history of the capital and its hidden by-ways, experience the world's greatest museums and galleries, visit Royal palaces and 1, 000 year old fortresses, see the Changing of the Guard, walk the streets down which Shakespeare, Dickens, Pepys and Churchill (not to mention the Beatles, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones) once strolled, go to some of the most famous shopping streets and establishments in the world. There is so much to see and do, and I can help you get the most from your visit. Official London Blue Badge Guide Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    The 6 of us had such a great day with Don! He was very knowledgeable and answered every question. He had a great sense of humor and fit right in with our group. We were sorry to see the day end. With his help we had put together a tour that saw all of the great sites. I had been to the Tower of London on a previous visit and I know so much more now. The hidden pub...

    Excellent 3 hour tour! We learned a lot about works with which we were already familiar and also about works we had simply passed by on previous visits (such as Bermejo’s stunning St Michael defeating the devil). A very knowledgable, personable, and funny guide.

    My wife and I recently toured Westminster with Don and recommend him highly as a Tours by Locals tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about Britain and British history and culture. Many guides fit that description! But Don went well beyond being a standard guide. He recommended places to go that we had not known were interesting. For example we did not know about...
