Hey! I am that rare thing, a native Londoner. As someone born and raised in this great city, there is nothing I don't know or places to go. And I'm only too happy to share my knowledge with you. I have a love of culture and history and can show you everything from standard sightseeing to unusual, less known places. Be it street art tours, beautiful quarters like Hampstead to hidden walks along the Thames detailing it's history. I also have a wealth of knowledge to help you during your stay, be it, where to eat, where to go and anything else you might need assistance with. All tours are bespoke and tailored to your needs.

Hi, I’m Andreea, a passionate Londoner by choice for over 10 years—originally from Romania, but completely in love with this city ever since I arrived. I like uncovering hidden gems and bringing the stories of Regency-era London to life. My walking tours started by guiding visiting friends, and naturally grew into curated experiences like my Regency London tour, inspired by my love of novels and historic places. When I’m not exploring London’s streets, I’m traveling the world—over 40 countries and 5 continents so far—which helps me connect with travelers from all walks of life. I’d love to help you discover the magic of London through a local’s eyes!

I would love to show you around my home town, London, and share my passion for this great city. Being born here (I used to play at the Tower of London as a child), I've witnessed how it has developed over the years. I've been lucky enough to work for a member of the UK Parliament, spending much time at the Houses of Parliament. I also spent many years working in Europe, and in my tours I like to talk about the many international influences on London. On my walks my aim is to bring history to life, and most important, to make sure we have fun.

I LOVE London! But I really KNOW London too... I'm proud to be a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, one of a select few who have passed the highest criteria to become a fully qualified London guide. I hold other London guiding qualifications - I am a City of London Guide and Lecturer, A Westminster Guide and a St Paul's Cathedral Guide. I specialise in private, customised (to YOUR requirements) London tours, giving in-depth insight into the best locations such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, St Paul's Cathedral, the Churchill War Rooms, Kew Gardens, Buckingham Palace (summer opening), the British Museum, National Gallery and many more. .... and we can discover hidden alleyways, explore ancient churches, stand where Dickens or Shakespeare or the Romans would have stood...London's many secrets from so many centuries. Guiding is my passion, but I am also a dog-loving, countryside-walking, museum junkie, knit-aholic, who loves to curl up with a good book (I collect old London books) with a lovely cup of tea and a slice of something nice on the side. Come with me to discover London. Whether this is your first visit or you've been here before, I will make sure that you have a wonderful time and take home memories to cherish - and lots of fabulous photos!

Why Choose Me? I bring over 13 years of professional guiding experience, combined with a genuine passion for bringing history and stories to life. My tours go beyond simply reciting facts I create engaging, memorable experiences tailored to each group. Whether it’s the pageantry of the Changing of the Guard, the intrigue of a Jack the Ripper tour, or the rich history of Westminster and the City, I make every story immersive and meaningful. My time working at the Royal Albert Hall has also given me unique insight into one of London’s most iconic cultural landmarks, adding depth and authenticity to my tours. In addition to London, I run tours in my home city of Liverpool a place rich in history and character. I also run Tours in my home city of Liverpool, famous for having the best football team in the country Everton, as well as Liverpool. From its maritime heritage and connections to the Titanic, to its world-famous music scene shaped by The Beatles, Liverpool offers a fascinating story at every turn. Highlights include the historic Royal Albert Dock and the remarkable fact that the city boasts two cathedrals on the same road. My tours are interactive, well paced, and adapted to suit different interests, ages, and backgrounds. My goal is simple: to give travellers not just a tour, but a story they’ll remember long after they leave.

When I first arrived in London, it was a city full of old, beautiful buildings that meant absolutely nothing to me. I was not 'born and bred here', but I chose to make this city my own. I dived into a history of people who lived and shaped London. Turns out, they also lied, made mistakes and were very, very randy. London was shaped by scandals, and I found the best ones to tell you. I am a qualified London tour guide and a storyteller who is ready to take you around from the iconic landmarks of London to hidden alleyways and streets off the beaten path.

“A Wonderful Personalized London Tour with Vivian!”
Vivian was a knowledgeable, fun, and wonderful tour guide! We were a family of four visiting London from Canada for the first time in October 2026, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our day included Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Changing of the Guard, where Vivian found us a fantastic vantage point to watch the ceremony. We also enjoyed a lovely walk past Big Ben, with great conversation, interesting stories, and plenty of opportunities for photos along the way. Vivian chose a wonderful traditional pub-style lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed, before finishing our afternoon at the Tower of London. What made the experience so special was how personalized the entire tour was. Vivian tailored the afternoon to our interests, making sure we saw the sights while enjoying plenty of laughs and interesting conversation. If you’re looking for a fun, knowledgeable, and personalized London tour, Vivian is definitely the guide for you! We had a lovely afternoon with a lovely lady who truly made our first visit to London special. We would highly recommend her! Tracey

“Fun Tour with Kyle!”
I chose to book with Kyle because the Camden Town walk sounded unique to other things I was seeing in London. Kyle has so much knowledge and passion for the area and the music scene of days past. I was travelling alone but with him I felt like I was on a journey with a friend for a few hours! Primrose Hill is a steep walk but worth it if you are capable. We finished off with a walk through a scenic canal route. At the end Kyle made sure I knew exactly what train routes I should take for my next destination. As a solo, female traveler that meant a lot to me! Go With Kyle
