United Kingdom & Ireland Private and Small Group Walking Tours
Famed for their music, theater, literature and sport, these small island nations have had an outsize influence on the world
Situated off the coast of western Europe, the United Kingdom’s four countries—England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland—and the Republic of Ireland have long stood apart from the European mainland, defined by the mingling of their native Celts and Anglo-Saxons with visitors like the Norse, Romans, and Normans.
These unique dynamics are reflected in the UK and Ireland, which all bear distinct customs and traditions but also share a long history of cultural innovation—ranging from illuminated manuscripts to Shakespeare to soccer—not to mention a lively and welcoming pub culture.

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Biba. She showed us so many hidden gems and pieces of history in the City of London. Biba’s expertise, well designed tour and warm, friendly personality made us all (parents and teens) enjoy the day and learn some off the beaten path discoveries. Totally recommend Biba, especially for history buffs and those who want a deeper look at London that is anything but pedestrian!

Our tour of the British Museum with Frederika was excellent. She was fantastic with our kids and kept the tour interesting for everyone. We also mentioned that we're going to Greece this summer, and Frederika did a great job explaining the Elgin Marbles and what we will see at the Acropolis. The tour was a success and we highly recommend her.
