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

Visit the beautiful 16th century Palace and its gardens. It was built by Henry's cardinal but given to the king and is one of the best examples of Tudor architecture in England. It is one of my favourite palaces in all of Europe and I never tire of seeing it. It's so different from everywhere else in Europe. Its that particular Tudors style so little of which remains in London because of the great fire. I've been guiding there 28 years and never get tired of its beauty
This tour was absolutely fabulous and so insightful! It’s a fantastic day trip, and Ed really brings the Tudor masterpiece to life, sharing all the fascinating details and the stories of those who lived there. Thanks for a great experience, Ed!!!
Ed was teriffic and I would strongly recommend that you book with him. He was very knowledgavble and easy to talk with. It was greatr to have him lead us atround the grounds, the gardens and the palace. We would not ahave gooten the smae experience had we toured on our own. In addition Ed was up to date on current culture and politics in England and provided interesting insights that only a local would know.
This is our third time with Ed Berns as our guide in London. The tour was lovely, highlighting the main attractions to this magnificent palace. Ed knows Tudor history quite well, so he was the perfect guide. You should definitely book a tour with Ed!
Mr. Berns did an outstanding job of guiding my wife and I around Hampton Court Palace. There is a long and complex history of the palace and its occupants. Mr. Berns has an impressive depth of knowledge that helped to provide context at every turn. He also was very adaptable, modifying and rearranging inside and outside elements of the tour to avoid intermittent rain that we experienced that day. We would be very pleased to have him as a guide on future trips to London.
Hampton Court tour was one of my favorite tours. I Booked four tours with Ed and enjoyed them all. Ed is a very educated tour guide.
We made the trip fun and easy. Thank you
