Absolutely the Best Way to Experience London!

"I spent a week in London with my son, daughter in law and grandchildren (ages 10 & 12). London did not disappoint but what took the experience over the top was the two days we spent with Gavin. He was immediately able to assess each of our interests and kept us all captivated with his warmth, humour, incredible scope of knowledge and storytelling ability. Because he guided us around on the perfect timetable we found ourselves in the best spots for viewing all the events. He had treats and learning aids for the children. It was like being with a dear friend who could bring history alive."

The Painted Hall

1/6

on a Greenwich london tour you will discover what was for centuries the ceremonial entrance to the capital from the river. It was the site of one the most important Tudor palaces, and later of the Royal Naval Hospital where a collection of the greatest names in English architecture worked, including Wren and Hawksmoor. The presence of the Greenwich palace, and then the sailors ensured a rich history for the town.

Greenwich has the character of a village, with its compact riverside location and possesses some the finest buildings in England, which you will discover on this tour.

This is a great tour for people looking to get out of the centre of London to explore a very different part of the city.
