We had a great day out with Nikky. She clearly knows London inside out. We went to so many places and Nikky knew exactly what she was doing. We crisscrossed the city using bus, tube and even Thames boat. We also went into places which we never knew were open to the public like an old church , a rooftop garden and the oldest police station in London (now a lovely pub!)! We also had the BEST ice cream in London. We could not rate it any better – a fantastic day out with a great guide. You won’t regret booking this one.

My family did the London half day tour with Nikky. She was like a walking encyclopedia of all things London! We got to see some amazing places, including iconic Piccadilly circus, where they shot some scenes for 28 days later (one of my all-time favorite movies). Having lunch at covent garden after the tour was also awesome. The pub we went to (great suggestion btw) had the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, but they even had vegan options for my MIL :-). We highly recommend this tour!

My 13 year old daughter and I did the 8 hour London day tour with Nikky. Highly recommended – a great way to see the city, and much more of an experience than just doing a bus tour. The itinerary has been exceptionally well planned – you get to see all the famous sites (Westminster, Buckingham Palace, St James palace, Piccadilly, Leicester Square, covent garden, St Paul’s, and many more). You get to use the underground tube, the bus, and even a boat in amongst walking. The walk was fairly easy, didn’t feel strenuous at all, and after lunch we were using public transport to get around. Nikky was a brilliant tour guide. It was a privilege to spend a day with someone so knowledgeable, helpful, and cultured. She really knew her stuff, explained everything well (and was really good at engaging with my daughter at just the right level), and was just an all-round class act. If you have a day to spend in London then I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Nikki, was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She was personable and very knowledgeable. Nikki did a great job engaging us in the rich, sometimes dark and always interesting facets of history for each sight we visited. Nice features of this tour included a double-decker bus ride and a boat ride on the Thames to reach some of the sights. Although there’s a good amount of walking, it was interspersed with stops at the many sights, a stop for lunch and stops for coffee/drinks. Nikki also took some great photos of us and provided recommendations for places we were interested in going over the next few days. We give Nikki 5/5 stars!

I’ve never done a tour quite like this one, with a bus trip as well as using the Underground and taking an uber boat. We covered a lot of London, seeing covent garden, Saint Paul’s, tower of London and south bank. It was a cold day, but the guide N was amazing and kept us moving and made some unscheduled hot chocolate stops. Highly recommended.

We booked the London full-day tour and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. The tour started right on time and the meeting point was very easy to locate. Nikky is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about London’s history. She explained every place in great detail and shared tons and tons of historical facts that truly brought the city to life. What made this tour unique was that we visited so many “firsts of the world”—an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting London and wanting to experience its rich history in the best possible way. A big thank you to Real London Experiences for an unforgettable day!

I booked the London in a day tour for my family of 4 on a trip to London (husband and wife and 2 kids). So glad I did. It was a full day and we saw pretty much everything the family wanted to see- Buckingham Palace, westminster, tower of London, covent Garden and Piccadilly circus. Even better they took us on a bus, a Thames boat and on an underground train. The guide was so good and took tons of photos. An amazing day. Thanks!

Gift Certificates

Gift certificate

We're honored when people want to give the present of tickets to our tours to someone they know. Buying a gift certificate is an important expression of support for a small business like ours and we're very appreciative of the level of trust that purchasers have in us. Trust that we are going to deliver on the promise of a tour - and that we'll make that tour an unforgettable experience for the person they love.

It also means that they must really know that person to whom they're giving the gift and in what they're truly interested. So anyone getting the present of one of our gift certificates will surely be deeply appreciative that you've really give their present a lot of thought. And you can be sure that they will really enjoy their experience with us.

To get a gift certificate you can EITHER buy tickets for a regular group tour OR book a private tour.

Regular group tour: all you need to do is book a minimum of two tickets for a tour you think that special person would want to go on - if they only knew about us - and write in the field "anything else we need to know", at the bottom of the booking form, "Gift Certificate" and the full name of the person. Then we'll email you back with a git certificate pdf in their name and you give it to them at the appropriate time.

Private tour: all you need to do is book a private tour for the experience that you think they would be interested in and then write in the field "anything else we need to know", which appears right before paying,  "Gift Certificate" and the full name of the person. Then we'll email you back with a git certificate pdf in their name and you can forward it to them.

There's a 30 day period when you can get a full refund (unless they've already done the tour of course), after which they can still book or reschedule. Assuming they want to do a tour then they just email us with the date of the scheduled tour that they want to attend OR email us with the date when they want to do a private tour. At that point we just create a regular booking for them.

It's that simple!

Thanks for wanting to give this gift.
