Overview of your London tour:

Join me on an interesting relaxed walking tour of approx. 2. 5 miles from London's political center of Westminster near Big Ben to the Shakespeare Globe. I will bring the history of the River Thames to life with interesting anecdotes and historical facts you will only hear from a knowledgeable local guide. As an experienced London guide, I will help you understand London's history better with its river as means of transport for kings and queens, provider of work and food for common people who enjoyed its frost fairs in the harsh winters of the past, its times of pollution and much more. I will show you the best places for unforgettable photo shots to create memories while we cross several bridges, see beautiful gardens and awesome classical views painted once by impressionist painters. You will learn so many things you never knew before. We end near the Millennium Bridge but this tour can be customized and extended or shortened according to your fitness and interests.
