Hi everyone. I've been a professional tour guide (called Blue Badge Guide in London) for 30 years, so I know the city and its surroundings very well. If you enjoy art, history, architecture, religion and culture then I'm your man and I enjoy talking about other subjects too such as politics and movies and tv. Not much about sports though. On tours, we normally visit Westminster Abbey (burial place of the famous) or the Churchill War Rooms but if you'd rather do walking tours or visit the museums, the British museum being my specialty as I love ancient history or even just go shopping and have afternoon tea somewhere special then it's fine with me. I'm flexible. I'm there to make your time in London enjoyable and memorable. We can have a break coffee stops whenever you wish. There's no hurry even if we spend a little longer together . But I like to do detail and not rush so I only do two venues a day. There's plenty of history in London but my special subjects are Henry 8th and the Tudors, ancient history & early church history. Don't forget nearly all our museums are free. Almost everywhere I go free so there is no need to pay my entrance. Getting around by car in London is difficult because of parking and traffic. The underground, bus or taxi is preferable and walking is unavoidable in busy cities, but the amount of walking is up to you. Looking forward to meeting you. Qualified blue badge. I do not have a car and only use local transport

You don't need to go far to get an idea of the countryside. Just go downriver to Greenwich. We'll travel by tube to the Borough of Greenwich. It's like you're entering another century and you'll feel that you've left London and arrived in a small town. It's such a refreshing place. In Greenwich, we'll walk on the meridian line, and visit the Cutty Sark (the best-preserved timber ship in the UK). Then we will see the Queen's House, originally a palace where you can see the Armada portrait of Elizabeth 1. We'll then go by monorail to Canary Wharf, London's banking city, and finally return by the Elizabeth line, London's newest underground line (opening in 2022), or the jubilee line
I’ve been on many tours with Ed over the years, and he never lets me down. His amazing knowledge of history and the places we see, along with his great communication skills, makes every tour so interesting and a truly memorable experience.
Had another great tour with Ed. He has a deep Knowledge of history and Art and knows all the routes and ways to walk around. I look forward to doing more tours with Ed.
Great tour with Ed exploring the Greenwich area. Ed was amazing with his explanation of the history of Greenwich. When my 16 year old daughter complained she was hungry, Ed had us eating in 3 minutes. He knows the area. Great day exploring
What a great tour! As it took more than 1 type of transport to get to Greenwich based on where we were staying in Chelsea, it was beneficial to have Ed accompany us from our metro stop (as it was nearby where he lives) to Greenwich. Ed customized the tour for what we wanted to see. Glad we didn't try to do this trip ourselves, so well worth having Ed's knowledge of the city and the places we visited.
The Greenwich tour with EdBernes was one of the best tours I have had! Ed is a very educated and professional tour guide. The pace of the tour was easy and we traveled by train. Ed is a great tour guide!
Ed gave us a very fun day. By meeting us at our hotel, he took away our confusion and stress at navigating the underground. So much to see in Greenwich, and, with Ed, we were able to see all the highlights at our own pace with a highly knowledgeable guide.
Lovely Greenwich town Visit the Royal naval college and its magnificent ceiling Visit the 17thc Greenwich palace See The Cutty Sark (from outside or interior visit) Use the Monorail to Canary wharf Finally the Tube back to Central London
