Nicholas was a great guide! He was enthusiastic and passionate about the subject matter, and he kept our family of 2 adults and 3 young teens entertained. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with him.

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.

Overview of your London tour
Walk in the footsteps of giants on this tour as we weave a history of 44 monarchs and some of the most famous names in British history to be interred there. This is Britains Valhalla. The tour will visit every corner of the Abbey and if requested can visit the surrounds of the precincts as well. Westminster Abbey in all its glory is a living working royal peculiar. It has been an Abbey, a cathedral and has hosted the coronation of nearly every monarch since 1066 although there were a few that didn't quite make it to the altar. It has seen 16 royal weddings, many funerals including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and is the resting place of 30 kings and queens.

Maria M.United States
Our tour guide was wonderful,he was as expected on time and waiting for us at the entrance of the abbey.he was pleasant and an expert in the subject matter. We learned so much during the tour but never felt rushed,he pointed out so many historical and architectural details that we would have missed on our own. Having a private knowledgeable guide was very beneficial to my wife and I and it makes the tour that more enjoyable,also it saves time and allows us to see more interesting items.

A great tour with a family of six with a 2-year-old and a 9-year-old on the spectrum. I wish we had been able to be more in depth. We definitely inhibited the tour. Our guide really knew the history and stories behind the Abbey.
Steve P.United States
Nicholas gave us an outstanding tour of Westminster Abbey. We got much more out of it than we ever would have on our own. I would highly recommend Nicholas and his knowledge of London and the Abbey is second to none. I can't say enough good things about our tour.
Anne M.United States
Nicholas was a wonderful guide for our 11 family members, including 6 children, ages 10-17, through Westminster Abbey. He regaled us with English history as well as the historic role of WA in the coronation of kings and queens in understandable and interesting ways. All agreed it was an informative and fun experience.
David Y.United States
Nicholas was a wonderful guide. We were able to communicate our wishes for our tour and he customized it just as we wished. He met us promptly and made everything so interesting. He was humorous and insightful. He was able to answer any questions we had about the sites we were touring, namely Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. I highly recommend Nicholas to anyone traveling to London. We will use him again on our next trip to London.
