Description

Through years of experience, I have learned that these tours are most enjoyable for you if I hone it down to just the most exciting stops and the most interesting stories.

Alfred Hitchcock once said, "the length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder," and I think that applies doubly so to a tour. You're on holiday, I appreciate that. You want to see the main sites, take the best photos, maybe laugh a little, and then head off on to the next adventure.

With that in mind, I keep the tour to an entertaining one hour and fifty-five minutes. During that time we will see the main sites.

More important than the sites themselves are the stories. Little insightful or interesting anecdotes; what the little horse steps are at Waterloo Place, why Constitution Hill is called that when we don't... um.. Have one, tales from the Battle of Britain, the Gunpowder Plot, what the Queen did next when she woke up to find a drunken man had climbed the walls of Buckingham Palace and broken into her bedroom at 7am, etc, etc. I hope to see you soon.

*Groups of four or more are very welcome as long as they prepay via the app.*

Fun, informative and useful

I had to get to the style of guide, but then it was good and funny. Some times situational humor, nothing like a machine, intristing historical v and useful practical informations mixet together. I enjoy it a lot.

Theo is one of the best guides I have ever had.

Definitely one of the best walking tours I have ever had. Theo is not only knowledgeable, humorous, and friendly, but he has two traits making him standing out from the rest of the guides - he knows how to avoid the crowd in busy places (such as in front of Buckingham Palace) but still let you have the best views; he also has a robust voice that even with a huge group of almost 30 people everyone can hear his voice.
