VIP Corporate Tour - January 2026 We worked with David on a walking tour of Westminster for a corporate event for a VIP group from the US in January 2026. David is confident, friendly, and knows his stuff. I highly recommend.

5 star ratingFantastic experience! We were so lucky to have David as our tour guide — truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had while traveling. From the moment we met, he made us feel completely at ease and genuinely cared about making our day special.David has that rare gift of combining deep knowledge with warmth and humor. Every stop came alive through his stories, and we learned so much while having a wonderful time. He went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our interests and even added little surprises along the way that made it feel extra personal.By the end of the day, it felt less like being with a guide and more like exploring with a friend who loves sharing their city. We’ll always remember this experience with a smile and can’t recommend David enough.

5 star ratingTop notch tour guide in London Great guide with tons of historical knowledge! The two half day tours were amazing and helped me see all of the must-see sights of London.Only one suggestion for future tours…don’t touch someone’s hair (even if giving a compliment) without first asking and then receiving consent to do so. Otherwise, the tour was definitely top notch for my visit to Europe!

5 star ratingExcellent private guide in London David is an excellent blue badge guide. My wife and I enjoyed a walking tour of London with David. It was our first trip to England. We spent six days in London, and touring with David on our first full day worked out perfectly. David gave us great suggestions for the best times to visit certain sites. He gave us a native Londoner’s point of view as we toured. We enjoyed a relaxing lunch at a classic English pub. We can highly recommend David for your touring in London.

5 star ratingAmazing guide I was delighted touring 2 full days with David for our London trip. He was very knowledgeable and professional explaining with great detail the Abbey and St Paul. Also he sent a very courteous driver to pick us up at the airport all tours started punctual. Was an advantage to do it with a blue badge guide cause there was no queue . Highly recommended.

5 star ratingHighclere Castle and Downton Abbey film locations We took a private day trip to Highclere Castle and Brampton village where some if the Downton Abbey locations were shot. The tour included access to the castle and grounds as well as the Egyptian exhibit about Carter and Carnarvon’s Tutankhamen’s tomb excavation. A great, well organized day out.

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

I am a member of various tour guiding organisations which uphold and maintain the high standards of guiding which London and the Blue Badge represent.

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.
