Retired Royal Guard Iconic London Walk

I invite you to join me to see Royal palaces and other iconic royal sites, hear personal stories of my experiences with members of the Royal Family and even get to see a piece of Prince William's and Kate's wedding cake! We will start at Trafalgar Square and hear about its history and then move on to see the pomp and pageantry of the Changing of the King's Life Guard. We then walk along The Mall to St James' Palace and Clarence House where I will tell you tales of Princes William and Harry the night before William's wedding. Next is a short walk to Buckingham Palace where you will have more opportunities to take photos and hear stories of the Royal household. We then walk into picturesque St James' Park where there is a chance to pause (kiosk available for drinks) and look at gifts presented to me by members of the Royal family. On the way to Parliament Square I will tell you all about the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament and Big Ben). The final part of the walk takes us along Whitehall, past Downing Street (home of the Prime Minister) and then to the spot where King Charles 1st was executed. We will finish back at Trafalgar Square. Other things to note: If on the 2pm walk we will see a shortened Guard change at 4pm. We will have an opportunity on the way for a short stop for you to buy drinks and visit a toilet.

Let me introduce the City - the heart of London

London’s Square Mile isn’t just the city’s financial district— it’s a world of ancient traditions, hidden corners, and modern influence woven together over centuries. Join me, one of the City's official guides, for a walk through time as we unlock the stories behind the City of London’s streets, institutions, and customs that still shape life here today. • Discover how the past is still alive in the City’s streets, from its Roman foundations to medieval trade guilds, the layers of history and its transformation into a financial powerhouse. • Explore hidden corners, quiet churches, and tucked-away green spaces, and learn how ancient traditions such as the Freedom of the City, the Lord Mayor’s Show, and the Livery Companies play a role in modern life. • Witness the striking contrast between centuries-old institutions and cutting-edge architecture, as the Square Mile continues to evolve. Whether it’s your first time in the City or if you’ve walked these streets for years, you’ll never see them the same way again.

British Museum Tour - History, Art and Conflict

The British Museum is a fascinating but also challenging place to visit.. the sheer number of artefacts and stories to discover can be quite daunting. This tour will guide curious visitors along a fun and often surprising narrative to discover the beauty of ancient civilisations and to come up close to staggering works of art. There are hidden mythologies, art, mysticism, and history galore. There are also current debates in regards to some artefacts on display. Some of the stories involve violent colonial exchanges, some involve looting, others involve questionable practices of ownership. I try to explain their arrival at the museum and update on their complicated status. Knowing about these stories generates constructive discussion of the issues involved, and I try to cover all points of view and invite my guests to share theirs. This is walk to discuss about all this together on a two hour tour. Some of the subjects we’ll cover will be: Ancient Greek temples and gods Deities and warrior kings from Mesopotamia Roman artwork and legacy Weapons from Australia Anglo-Saxon and Viking treasures Mesoamerican rituals Royal treasures from the Kingdom of Benin Statues and temples from India Artefacts from China Statues and mummies from Egypt …and many more fascinating bits of history.

Discover the University of Oxford with recent graduate

Hi, I'm Rory! I've just finished my degree at the University of Oxford, and I'd love to show you around. My Oxford University and City walking tour is the best way to visit Oxford: an unforgettable 90-minutes in the world’s greatest university - led by a recent graduate of the University of Oxford (BA Philosophy and Theology, 2020-2023). Starting at St Michael at the Northgate Church, we'll head to Trinity College so you can see inside for yourself. We'll then visit all the most important sites in Oxford; taking in the Bridge of Sighs, Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera, Divinity School, All Souls College, the University Church, Examination Schools, Merton College, Christ Church, and finish at Christ Church Meadow. On this tour, you’ll discover a thousand years of history and tradition, learn from first-hand experience what it’s like to be an Oxford University Student, and visit some of the most incredible architecture in the world. I keep my tour groups small and personal – there’ll never be more than 12 people – meaning you’ll be able to ask all the questions you want. I’m always happy to adapt tours to the interests of the group, and provide recommendations on the best things to do in Oxford. *Please note that, although we will always go inside one university building/ college (normally Trinity College), all other stops will be seen from the outside only.
