About Your Blue Badge Guide

Blue Badge Tourist Guides are the highest qualified tourist guiding service in London and throughout the UK.

Your personal Blue Badge Tourist Guide is a professional that will show you must-see sights and take you off the beaten track to locations often unavailable to other guides.

We can recommend restaurants and attractions,  plan a full itinerary including monuments, stately homes, theme parks, museums, and will include plenty to keep guests of all ages thoroughly entertained.

London comes to life with a Blue Badge Guide in ways that no recorded commentary or printed guide book can manage. Blue Badge Tourist Guides are real people with extensive accurate knowledge, showing you the real history and sights of London and the UK.

MY SERVICE.
I offer clients from all over the world a flexible varied, interesting and fun way to see the sights of London ( favourites such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The London Eye, Westminster, and the Tower of London) and to enjoy day tours from the city. I’m able to supply most personal requests and I work with a small selected group of specialist suppliers throughout London and Britain to offer tours for individuals, couples, families and friends up to 8 passengers.

London Private Tours also offers a Cruise Ship, Airport and Eurostar Terminal collection service which can be combined with a tour before or after your hotel check-in. Ask about our special one-off Guided Tour pricing if your Cruise Ship visits or is berthed at a UK port, or if you have a stop-over between flights through any London Airport.

Easy access, comfortable seating and loads of luggage space

Running for Charity

Please consider supporting my effort in fundraising for PROSTATE CANCER UK

David Hamed Running London Tour Guide is raising funds for PROSTATE CANCER UK because it affects the lives of so many mens and their families.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That’s thousands of dads, grandads, partners, brothers, uncles, sons and mates. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The money you raise will help fund lifesaving research into better tests and treatments.

The Blue Badge

The Blue Badge is the highest guiding qualification in Britain.

The Blue Badge is the highest guiding qualification in Britain.

Blue Badge training is detailed and comprehensive, the examinations rigorous, and registration represents a guide of the highest quality.

Blue Badge Guides are guaranteed to give you the correct factual historical information about people, places, and events. They know their subject matter, and never guess.

You might only visit these shores once so it’s important not to waste an opportunity.

Many locations can only be properly visited in the company of a Blue Badge guide. For example, if you want to walk amongst the stones at Stonehenge instead of on the path around the monument, or to be guided around Westminster Abbey, you will need Blue Badge access.
