Professional London tourist guide
Posted on 13 May 2011
A whole host of London walks are available but it’s important you only choose a guide that has been recommended or has a Blue Badge – these are professional tourist guides that meet a certain level of knowledge and experience. They really know what they are talking about and can make a real difference to your trip.
There are so many exciting and intriguing parts to London that it’s impossible to see everything in one or even ten trips. Tours are broken down into specific categories, Victorian London, Shakespeare’s London or the London of Charles Dickens. There are specific tours of Theatreland, sometimes including backstage or theatre tours. Another popular tour is tracing the events of World War II including a trip to the Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill Museum.

Eating in London isn’t always expensive, especially if you take advantage of the pre-theatre meal deals that are available from about 6pm. Often theatre tickets are packaged with restaurants and you can find really good deals online. If in doubt, ask! And your London tour guide can often give you some insider tips...
Of course, most guidebooks have enough information for you to hunt out some of London’s secrets, and the internet has a zillion articles on London and its history, but by hiring the services of a professional London tourist guide you can often skip the crowds, get exclusive access to historical buildings and ask as many questions as you, or the kids, can think of. Plus, most of London’s tour guides don’t bite. Well, not often anyway!
