London
The best part of London isn't on the postcard. I’m a Canadian-born Londoner who has called this remarkable city home for more than two decades. What began as a fascination with British history and culture evolved into a professional and deeply personal connection with London’s streets, neighbourhoods, and communities. Today, I am a qualified Green Badge City of London Guide and have delivered more than 700 tours for private travellers, families, corporate groups, educational organisations, and VIP guests from around the world. I am also a Freeman of the City of London and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, giving me a unique perspective on the traditions, institutions, and history that continue to shape the city today. My speciality is helping travellers discover the London that many visitors miss: hidden courtyards, historic coffee houses, independent cafés, quiet lanes, markets, riverside walks, fascinating architecture, and the stories that bring these places to life. I have a particular passion for the City of London, where Roman remains, medieval churches, Georgian elegance, Victorian ambition, and modern skyscrapers exist side by side. I particularly enjoy helping curious travellers who want something more thoughtful and personal than a standard sightseeing itinerary. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or visiting for business, I can help you uncover experiences that match your interests and travel style. My approach is practical, conversational, and highly tailored. Some travellers seek help planning a memorable first visit, while others want specialist recommendations, hidden gems, or deeper cultural insight. My goal is always the same: to help you experience London not as a tourist, but as a temporary local. For me, London is far more than a collection of attractions—it is a living city best understood through its stories, people, and everyday details.

I'm Paul and I live in West London. Originally from Wales, I moved here 40 years ago and apart from a period in Boston MA I have lived here every since. After a long career in food I moved back into beer 14 years ago, working for Fuller's before setting up my beer event business AleHunters in 2018. I host and organise craft brewery tours, beer tastings, Belgian tours, education and contribute articles to UK and Belgian magazines. I am also an international beer judge and have judged at competitions across the world. For the past 40 years my family and I have continued to explore the streets and sights of our city. I have amassed a wealth of knowledge and also forged strong relationships across many sectors in business. Taking our dog for a walk through an unfamiliar neighbourhood, stopping for a beer or a bite to eat and continuing to explore is my perfect rest day. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and tips with you.

London
Hi! My name's Dewi, and I've worked as a Tour Guide across the UK since 2013. Since 2022, I've been working with travel agents and agencies worldwide to help plan perfect trips to the UK, including London, The Cotswolds, Windsor, Bath, and Wales. I love helping travellers to make memories they'll cherish, and have the best possible time when visiting the UK. I'm a people person who loves helping travellers make the most of their trips, and I am always happy to recommend the best way to see famous landmarks such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London, or hidden gems both in and out of ‘town'. Having been a guide for over 13 years, there aren’t many places in the UK I haven’t visited, and one of my favourite parts of the job is exploring new locations, visiting new sites, and sharing my research with people. As a passionate Welshman, I'm always keen to show the amazing sites that my homeland has to offer, and if you're curious about Cardiff or wish to see Wrexham, then I'm your man! In addition to working in the travel and tourism sector, I'm currently completing my PhD. My study examines how our experiences of place helps to create our sense of self.

Thirteen years in London hospitality have taught Dewi that the best hotel bars aren't about money. They're about experiences you can't get anywhere else. Three rooms that represent the pinnacle of London bar culture.
Charo came from Amsterdam and fell completely in love with London's pub culture. After a Master's in pub history and years of running tours, she takes you to three of her favourites. Real pubs, real people, real London.
