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.

Fiona was outstanding, relating equally well with the kids (teens) and their dad. It was a super fun day with Fiona.

We have used Context for many years and Tim ranks among the best guides we've ever had. Knowledgeable, engaging, considerate. Our day with Tim was the highlight of our London experience.

Rosemary is thoroughly professional, of another generation and work ethic. My one suggestion is that Stonehenge is very complex, and might benefit from more contextual materials. For example, materials summarizing, "what we know and what we do not know". Or materials (e.g., maps) describing the geographical relationships between the island and continental groups of the period. I found myself (and believe the kids did too) seeking to place the stones within larger patterns. Otherwise, it's just picture taking, as Rosemary noted.
Bath is more easily grasped, and Rosemary did a great job with this. For what it's worth, it was fun to hear from Gary, our driver, with respect to the local perspective. They were a great team.
