London in Half Day is a private speciality tour designed for first comers to London. See the world's most iconic landmarks and hear their stories and history from a professional tour guide. My Excursion Tour is designed to present you with the most key facts and places of interest in the short time you have in London. For longer hour tours, please refer my other London tours. To avoid traffic congestion, I use the tube & city bus and our iconic black cabs for the best possible time frame to visit the landmarks of this tour. This is a typical "surfing in the city" activity I call. I would be more than happy to share the best tips in the city for your rest activities.
