I have been lucky enough to live overseas for many years (Africa & the Middle-East). Mostly though, I have lived and worked in London, a truly great city.

We have built a large network of amazing Locals who give private, bespoke tours to visitors and also help them plan and book a trip that matches their interests and needs to our curated database of locally recommended places and things to do in London!
