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

We'll visit the highlights of the gallery from Gothic art through to the Renaissance, the Baroque, English masters, and finally the Impressionists. The highlights include Leonardo, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Carravagio, Van Eyck, Van Gogh, Monet, and more. Paintings move around all the time while the Renaissance Galleries are under construction but it's one of the greatest Renaissance collections in Europe. Then we can see the wonderful portraits at the newly refurbished National Portrait Gallery .
This was my second tour with this guide. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend both the guide and the tour. There is so much to see in this museum it can be overwhelming. Having this guide helped me explore the Victoria & Albert in a way I had not done on previous visits with no guide.
Edward was a life saver for this tour. I contacted him a few days prior to see if he could meet up with us to give a tour during our 1 day stop in London. His communication was great and we were able to meet up at the perfect time. He was amazing with both of my kids and kept them moving and entertained throughout the day. He was respectful of the time that we had available and filled every minute of it with information that we certainly would not have had without his help. Thank you!
Excellent guided tour by Ed Berns. We saw all of the highlights in the National Gallery with in depth explanations on perspective, religious symbolism and portraiture. Very enjoyable afternoon- not rushed- time allowed to really enjoy the beautiful art in this museum. Highly recommend Ed as your guide!
