  • When your booking is confirmed, you will receive contact details for me (Sandy) your guide for this tour. My aim is to give you the best experience you could possibly have so if you have any special requests, be sure to tell me what they are! If you need to go at a slower pace, or stop for a break midway through the tour, that will be fine with me.
  • The tour will last between 5.5 - 6 hours depending on what walking pace you set and the number of questions you ask. Due to the length of the tour, a lunch stop can be included at an extra cost.

  • The tour will go ahead come rain or shine so please don't be put off by the weather. Do wear comfortable shoes and clothing and, if needs be, bring waterproofs and an umbrella.

  • If you need directions from your hotel to Le Deli Robuchon, do contact me on sandyrhodes@live.co.uk.
  • Unlike some other guides, I specialise in just five areas of London, St James' and Mayfair being two of them. This means I have detailed knowledge of the areas which I pass on to my clients in a fun and interesting way.
  • 100% of my Trip Advisor/Viator reviews are graded 'excellent' and as I now have over 160 reviews in total, I must be doing something right!
  • I prefer to guide small groups of up to five family or friends so everyone can hear what I am saying above the usual street noises of a busy city. Also, everyone can ask as many questions as they like.
  • I ALWAYS contact my clients before a tour so if you have not heard from me one week before the tour is due to go ahead, please make contact with me.
  • I only accept bookings directly from customers. Any bookings made by a travel agent on behalf of a customer will be cancelled.
  • This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
