All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide.  To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point.  This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport.

London with a Passionate Guide!

Jan_Z, May 2024
The communication about setting up the tour and meeting points was spot on. Kevin the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He is a local to London, and I really appreciated his personal perspective and story. I learned a lot about English history beyond a strict focus on the sights we were visiting. Spending the morning with him, and the depth of knowledge and anecdotes made me want to book other tours from the company!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thanks so much for your kind review, we really appreciate it. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour Bloomsbury Literature tour with Kevin. You're always welcome back :-)

Fantastic day out
