Don was a wonderful guide. He was willing to personalize this tour for us, and accommodating to someone in our party with Ulcerative Colitis, which meant knowing where bathrooms were along the way. Would certainly recommend!

Hello, and welcome to London! I'm Don, a London Blue Badge Guide since 2016, a graduate of Oxford university and the former Director of the London Society. Let me take you round this incredible city - from the sites that every visitor must see, to the places that even most Londoners don't know about. Whether your stay is for half a day or for a week or more, I can help you experience the very best of London at a pace that suits you. Discover the history of the capital and its hidden by-ways, experience the world's greatest museums and galleries, visit Royal palaces and 1, 000 year old fortresses, see the Changing of the Guard, walk the streets down which Shakespeare, Dickens, Pepys and Churchill (not to mention the Beatles, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones) once strolled, go to some of the most famous shopping streets and establishments in the world. There is so much to see and do, and I can help you get the most from your visit. Official London Blue Badge Guide Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

The 6 of us had such a great day with Don! He was very knowledgeable and answered every question. He had a great sense of humor and fit right in with our group. We were sorry to see the day end. With his help we had put together a tour that saw all of the great sites. I had been to the Tower of London on a previous visit and I know so much more now. The hidden pub that he took us to was the best pub meal we had while in London. He had a great sense of the timing needed to keep the tour on track and was very easy to work with ahead of time. I highly recommend taking any tour with Don

Don was incredible. We saw all the sites and had a fantastic day. He is great with kids because mine were having meltdowns as it was our last day and was amazing with them. It was seven hours but honestly the time went by so fast and we saw all the best places. I would highly recommend Don for any tour!

Don is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who easily navigates London while answering every question with aplomb. Friendly, engaging and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about one of the world’s great cities from him.

Every now and then you encounter truly remarkable individuals, and Don Brown is one of them. It was an absolute pleasure to be guided through London by him. Traveling alone to London for the holidays, and this being my first time, I decided to hire a guide the day after my arrival to help me navigate the city and get oriented. This was the best decision I could have made. Don set the stage for what became an unforgettable 10 days exploring London on my own. His thoughtful and engaging guidance gave me confidence to truly experience the city. As we explored iconic places like Westminster Abby and the Tower of London, Don expertly tailored his commentary to my questions and interests while also introducing me to food, culture and places I would not have discovered on my own. Our day was easily one of the highlights of my life, and worth every penny
