Itinerary
1
London
Experience London through the eyes of someone who lives and loves it—walking historic streets, modern boroughs, and hidden pockets of local life. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a flexible, personalized experience shaped entirely around you. Before your walk, your host will reach out with a short questionnaire to understand your interests—whether that’s iconic landmarks, local food, creative neighborhoods, or unexpected detours only locals know. Here are some highlights that may be included in your day:
2
Big Ben
Spend time with your host exploring one of London’s most famous landmarks as you hear the story behind the tower’s name, stop for photos away from the crowds, and take in the buzz of Westminster at the heart of the city.
3
Westminster Abbey
Keep things central as you explore iconic locations along the Thames, admiring the architecture of Westminster Abbey, hearing stories of royal ceremonies and historical moments, and soaking up the atmosphere of this ceremonial district.
4
The British Museum
Step into the world of ancient history as you explore the British Museum’s vast collection with insight from your host, discovering highlights like the Rosetta Stone or Greek marbles—or simply passing through the area if you're short on time.
5
Soho
Get a feel for London’s creative energy as you stroll through Soho’s lively streets, passing legendary music venues, colorful cafés, and tucked-away squares while your host points out local favorites and hidden gems you won’t find in a guidebook.
6
Southbank Centre Food Markets
Pause at the riverside to experience the flavors of the city like a local, sampling street food from across the globe, finding a quiet spot for lunch, or exploring nearby pubs, bookshops, or cultural venues depending on the day and your mood.
