4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Think of this personalized experience with one of our hosts like exploring London with a friend. You’ll spot famous attractions, snap a few photos, sip a coffee, a craft gin or a pint together (whichever is your vibe), browse shops - you get the idea. Your host will also share with you a few hidden gems along the way too. From Buckingham Palace and afternoon tea (although sadly not with Her Majesty) to exploring a diverse neighborhood and feasting on street eats, your half a day in London with a host will be a whirlwind of fun.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
