Marcus was amazing! He designed a great day full of all the places we wanted to visit. He has a great deal of knowledge but his biggest attribute is his personality and humor. What a great day!

I am a friendly and experienced Blue Badge Guide. I own a V Class Mercedes and can take groups of up to four people. I am a Blue Badge Guide, and I have spent eighteen years working as a guide in London and England. I have a history degree, and an MA (London Studies). I have also spent five years working as a tour director, travelling with groups throughout Western Europe, and I have spent eight years teaching teenagers history in a secondary school in London. I feel very fortunate to be able to work as a guide in London and England. I am confident my sense of humour, enthusiasm and professionalism will ensure you enjoy the time we spend together.

Spend a day visiting some of London's most important historic sites
Overview of your London tour
A full day in London gives groups an opportunity to explore the most important parts of Central London, and to see all of the most popular sites. I will be able to provide you with an excellent introduction to this great city. I can also make suggestions about how you can organize the rest of your time in London, and offer advice about what you should try to include. Tours can be as relaxed or as informative as you would like.

Can my considerable list of sights in London be seen in just two days? Yes, Marcus made it happen! As a blue badge guide his deep dive knowledge of London was expected. What was especially great was his flexibility and willingness to respond to our requests. He was very friendly and personable, a highlight to our visit in London. I would highly recommend him to those visiting looking for a custom experience!
Richard L.United States
Marcus is very knowledgeable & engaging. He was solicitous of what we wanted to see & found us a wonderful restaurant for lunch. The day was highly enjoyable & went by all too quickly.
Alan C.United States
Marcus was amazing. We learned more than ever expected about Kings and the history of England. If you ever need to pick a tour guide pick Marcus. Spending time at the Tower of London was great. Next time we visit England we hope to have the opportunity to spend more time with Marcus.

Marcus, What a day!! You showed us so much so efficiently. We really feel like, notwithstanding we are “first timers” to London, we have a good sense of the city and history. Thank you!! Susan and Pat Fitzgerald
William D.United States
We had such a great day with Marcus! I’m so glad we booked this tour. Marcus was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. This was our first time in London, and we can’t wait to come back! Right from the start Marcus reached out before our trip to coordinate with us. He asked if there was anything specific we wanted to accomplish with him. I told him it was our first time in London and we were open to his suggestions. Also told him what other tours we had planned. He suggested we start with the abbey and told me where to get tickets and for what time. We were prepared before we left for our trip. On the day of our tour Marcus picked us up from our hotel right on time. We had a fantastic day! He was so much fun! He helped us coordinate lunch. We saw everything we hoped to see and more. I would recommend Marcus and this tour to anyone and everyone! Great experience!
