Hello and welcome to London. I have been guiding in the UK, London and Europe for 10 years and I love my job. I pride myself on a passion for history and above all, the animation of its stories and a bespoke, immersive experience that makes a tour truly memorable. I try to make my tours experiences. I like to walk inside ruins, enter places not often visited or take to the top of Londons buildings for unrivalled views of London. I like to show my guests the secret London, the local London, the unusual facts of our famous landmarks and the best parts of this small green island I call my home. From traditional pubs to local markets, from the big sights to the most photogenic areas of the city I aim to avoid the crowds and get you to the best spots and to witness all the city has to offer. From London in a day to Stonehenge and the countryside, I pride myself in getting as much as possible into your valuable time at a pace that suits you. No matter which guide you choose, I wish you an enjoyable time in this great city.

I have walked these streets for most of my life. This is a city of millions of stories and memories like mine all woven with an invisible thread that makes London. It's not all about the sites. London is about its stories, about the characters in this country's history and their footprints we will be following through the streets of the capital.

We had a wonderful half day with Nick! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of London but also makes the tour lively and fun! We were traveling with our grown sons ages 22 and 25 and they are not easy to impress but Nick held their attention and made sure they had a fun and memorable time. We all loved our time with him and highly recommend his tours!
Sarah M.United States
We had such a wonderful tour. Nicholas was fantastic. He was very thoughtful and took us to sites that we wouldn't have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour and Nicholas as a guide.
Will S.United States
Nick was an excellent guide. He took the time to find out what I would benefit the most from experiencing and was able to show me more than the basics. He went above and beyond explaining the history and significance of the sights and was truly efficient with our time. I would definitely recommend him, and would book him again the next time I’m in London!
Joan S.Spain
Fantastic tour guide. He knows the best interesting places to discover London if this is your first time. You can discover new hidden places. He knows the history and he can answer all about London. Very friendly. A very didactic tour. For him it’s more important you enjoy the tour that the time spent. We spent more than 4 Hours to ensure we could see all. Really I recommend him as tour guide. Professional, friendly and with a deep knowledgment of London
George G.
This guide was over the top amazing. I understand why he is always sold out. We had a group of 35 older adults and he kept us entertained for the entire 4 hours. He knows so much interesting history and shares it without missing a beat. Even when distracted he didn’t loose his pace. So amazing.
