Overview

I've worked in this industry a long time and I'm done with people giving rubbish service and just taking the money.
What's make us unique is that I actually care about you getting a great experience.
I love history and love living in London and I want to share it.
No quibble refunds if you are not happy for any reason, clear instructions and communication for how to meet your guide, routes that are off the beaten tourist track as well as the big highlights.
History that makes you think.
These are the kind of tours I want to go on.

People say that history is boring, you know that's not true, come see some with us!
