Overview of your London tour

Two different shades of red, white and blue in 2 iconic flags - but right from the very start of both country's intertwined relationship from those early colonialists, the Founding Fathers through the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, American Civil War, Great War and World War Two and more recent history. So much of United States of America's Heritage is wrapped up right here in London - and this full day tour will allow us to get right under the surface and get to meet those key characters in an experience that will surprise and amaze you. Riverside quays, key characters and iconic locations. Let me take you on a journey back to the 16th century and all the time coming back to the future as we look at the major events in a full day's timeline of London's American history. This panoramic journey has a full running commentary and is punctuated by stops for stand up presentations and photo calls. This is one of my favourite tours - especially as my own ancestry research leads me back to the White House!
