Why Private Guided Walks Let You Explore More of London, Your Way
Most London tours follow a set formula. You meet the guide, follow the umbrella, hear a few rehearsed facts, and tick off the big landmarks. It’s efficient, but not especially memorable.
At Londunnit, We Take a Different Approach
We believe that guided walking tours in London should feel like you’re out with a friend who knows the city well—someone who’ll show you the must-see spots, but also knows where to find the best hidden corners, the quiet benches, and the pubs locals actually visit.
That’s the fun of an unconventional tour: no one-size-fits-all script, no rigid path. We start with your interests, your energy, and the weather that day. Some groups want stories of kings and queens. Others want local markets, street art, and a great bakery. We design our tours to leave room for all of that.
Private guided tours in London work best when they reflect the people walking them. Families with children may need time to stop for snacks and space to roam. Couples might want quiet places to linger. History buffs may want every plaque read aloud, while others are more interested in the city’s modern edges. On our tours, all of this is possible.
Our guides are locals who live in and love London. They don’t recite from cue cards. They chat with you, answer your questions, and adapt the route as they go. They notice when someone is curious about a statue, or when a group seems ready for a break. They keep things interesting without rushing you past what makes the city come alive.
And then there are the unexpected moments: a street performer in Soho drawing a crowd, a bookshop open late in Bloomsbury, a view of the skyline from a quiet hilltop. We plan our routes thoughtfully, but we always make space for surprises.
These small, personal experiences often become the highlights people remember. They’re the moments you tell your friends about back home, like the quirky pub you stopped in, the alley that looked like a movie set, the way your guide knew just where to go when the rain started.
Londunnit tours are about making space for those experiences. You’ll still see Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, and Covent Garden if that’s what you want. But you’ll also have a chance to connect with the city in a way that feels real.
Fun isn’t about checking off boxes. It’s about discovery, and having a guide who listens and responds. We’ll walk at a pace that lets you enjoy what’s around you.
Unconventional doesn’t mean disorganized. It means thoughtful, personal, and open to the unexpected.
That’s why guided walking tours in London are better when they’re built around you. And it’s why Londunnit was created: to offer private guided tours in London that leave room for fun, curiosity, and a few surprises along the way.
