About this experience
A trip to London should be an experience that remains engraved in your memory as the best trip of your life.
I will guide you to the most iconic places within the Westminster area. This is a private tour, forget about big groups and a guide you listen through headphones; instead, have the benefit of walking through the city with the people you love (your family, partner, friends) and in company of a local. Let's talk about history (or no) as well as the day to day in London, this is a personalised tour and my aim is to make this experience one to remember.
This tour has been created for you to visit the must see landmarks if this is your first time in the British capital, at your own pace. Before your journey starts we can arrange a video call to get to know each other and sort out any doubts you might have.
