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.

Hazel is a very sweet lady who has vast knowledge on the subject manner. She also had a great sense of humor and was quick witted.
Unfortunately, her memory is slowing as she had trouble remembering just a few things and repeated a couple of facts not really knowing she was doing this. She was also 20 minutes late at our meeting location. Thank god the van driver was there on time and contacted her or we might have given up and left.
That said these were minor annoyances. But what was absolutely inexcusable was she showed up with a cough and continued coughing most of the day. She said she had a negative COVID test the day before and we recently had our third booster shot so I wasn’t too concerned about Covid, but in light of a heightened sense of awareness in spreading sickness these days your guides should not be showing up sick even if it’s a cold. Having paid over a $1,000 for this all day private tour I was not very happy with Context. In fact I was pretty angry most of the tour.
