Guide #43391
Hello, I'm Robert, an expert London guide. Come on an entertaining, friendly and informative tour with me. I can tailor a tour for you whether it's your first visit to London or your umpteenth. I look forward to meeting you. There is so much I can show you! I am a Londoner and I have worked in this capital city and internationally. I have travelled widely and I appreciate what appeals to visitors to England. I particularly enjoy taking family groups on tours. As a volunteer in the Learning Department at Westminster Abbey, I guide groups of students and school children through its wonderful space. These educational tours add another dimension to my enjoyment of guiding. For my tours I use a mix of walking, private hire vehicles, public transport and, in London, taxis and river boat services. Within London, there are two cities - The City of London, the 'Square Mile', a global financial centre characterised by its cutting-edge modern architecture, St Paul's Cathedral and some famous (and infamous) people. Having worked in finance, I can explain in an interesting and engaging way the commercial background to the City. As a Freeman of the City of London I have the symbolic privilege of being allowed to drive sheep across London Bridge! In Westminster, the second city, we can explore parks, pageantry and Royal heritage, National Gallery of art - I can share with you a variety of world class cultural activities. On a visit to the British Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, a world leader in decorative arts, I will pick out exhibits and explain their significance. And beyond London, I provide equally well organised and enthusiastic tours of places like Hampton Court Palace, Royal Windsor and its Castle and further afield, the Cotswolds with its fabulous scenery. I will provide you with magical memories to take home. What people say about my tours: "Thank you for a fascinating and inspirational morning…. " (comment by RE) "…. greatly enjoyed the fascinating and amusing guided tour of the City you gave on Saturday" (Private tour group) "We had a wonderful day today seeing just the smallest sliver of the rich history of London".

Fantastic tour! Great combination of history & architecture. We had a great tour of St. Paul's from top to bottom and got some great insights. He was able to focus the tour on our topics of interest and point out details that were fascinating! After St. Paul, we toured a number of churches from that time period and discussed how the fit into the bigger picture. Highly...

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for your 5* review! You were a terrific group asking very insightful questions and I much enjoyed your company. Thank you
We were amazed at Robert's knowledge of this beautiful city. He took us through walkways that we would have never found. He managed to keep our 12 year old grandson spell bound with his knowledge of enigma. We would very highly recommend Robert as a tour guide...spend the money and you won't be disappointed!!!!
