London Private and Small Group Guided Tours
Both medieval and modernist, London is a world capital that defies classification.
From ancient Roman ruins to Norman architecture, London is littered with reminders of its past. Landmarks like the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey, once the glory of medieval monarchy and now the setting for coronations, offer a peek into the city's long, often turbulent, history and rise to prominence. At the same time, contemporary structures like the Shard and the Millennium Bridge highlight London's evolution into a cutting-edge world capital. Its culturally vibrant immigrant neighborhoods and acclaimed literary, theater, and art worlds, personified by Shakespeare's Globe Theater and the Tate Modern, also form a portrait of an endlessly inventive city. Experience its many facets with Context's London private tours and London small group tours.

London Private Tours and London Small Group Tours
We offer broad array of London private tours and London small group tours, designed to appeal to every interest. Some of our most popular London guided tours include our Tower of London with Kids, which delves into some of the storied history of the structure with a more family-friend approach (namely, glossing over some of the more gruesome history that took place there), or our Westminster Abbey tour which explores over one thousand years of British history. Or, our London private guides are ready to put together a Custom London Tour, in which we can create an itinerary circumscribed only by the bounds of our collective imagination. Other London tours include a Shakespeare Tour, in which we immerse ourselves in the Bard's London and learn more about the history of this mysterious figure, our introductory London City Tour, perfect for first-time visitors, and our Learn about Royal London Tour with a history professor, a full-day experience in which we enmesh ourselves in the monarchy, from Westminster Abbey to Kensington Palace.

Excellent experience! We had an amazing tour with Ian’s knowledge of the building he has been supporting since 1985- he knows all the best stories! We would have missed so much touring on our own. What a great pleasure it was to have a guide for such an important place! Thank you!

Pepe was great - he got us into the Tower of London and right to the Crown Jewels so we were first in line and were in the room alone for at least 5 minutes. We felt special! It was a great day of touring and we had a wonderful time. He was very knowledgeable and he related well to our two teens. It was a lot of walking but we managed it - I am not sure I would pick an 8 hour tour again because we got a bit tired towards the end but it was really fun and we learned a lot. We saw a lot of London and Pepe was great at answering questions. Context however did not let us know that our planned guide Viv had Covid and we were trying to find the woman in the picture that was emailed the night before. Luckily Pepe called out to us and explained what had happened.

Peter is exceptionally bright, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the subject matter — we learned so much from him. He was great about integrating specific sites and visuals into the day to bring the experience to life, and was kind and delightful throughout. We cannot say enough good things about Peter and this tour!
