About
We have pioneered the idea of Private guided tours to cultural & historic sights throughout London & Southeast England as well as Edinburgh and the Lake District. We offer over 40 tours but can create a bespoke tour for no extra charge. We will collect you from your hotel, take care of all the entrance tickets & you will be returned to your hotel at the end of your trip. Ye Olde England Tours have been featured in the exclusive Harrods Aviation magazine. Our Sherlock tour has been used BBC Comic Relief (with the actors), Ripper Street production crew have been on our Jack The Ripper Walk. Our Churchill Tour has been featured on International TV & we've even worked with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Most of our tours are original & though sometimes copied none can replicate our fun, passion, qualifications & experience. Our motivation is to show you the city & country we love & giving you the best day we possibly can.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stephen was great. His knowledge of London is 11 out of 10 and he is very friendly. We’re big Dickens fans, but this tour is for fans of all interest levels. Also, he was very generous with his time, making several diversions from the route to see things we asked about and even taking us to a few new locations he had discovered a day or two earlier. That kind of attention makes the higher price of this tour worth it. We definitely plan on checking back in with Stephen when we’re back in London for one of his other tours.

This was a great tour and Stephen was a supremely knowledgeable and erudite guide! I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to ramble about London with Stephen as he pointed out the many historical features of the areas we saw. I had inquired about a tour focused on Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol and got a whole lot more than that! The ultimate highlight was our ending place - the George & Vulture Chop House (Pub). What a thrill that was!! The current owners were very friendly and it was a thrill to relax at the end of the tour and share a pint of ale. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!!

The Roman London Walking Tour is a must do! It is better than Bath and more than just a Roman tour - it is a London history tour. Kevin was an outstanding tour guide...knowledgeable, patient, and a true London historian. Unfortunately we did this tour late in our visit rather than early in our visit because we would have gone on more tours he was leading. If Kevin is the guide, it is sure to be an excellent tour!

Kevin was our tour guide. He did a fantastic job. His knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious. I learned things I wasn’t aware of before this tour.
I would highly recommend this tour and especially Kevin.
We had access to places and areas that you can’t get on bigger tours. We went in to the cigar shop that Churchill went and had a chair where he smoked his cigars and drank some scotch. Where his suits were made.

Our tour guide, Kevin, was wonderful at answering questions and keeping things interesting for two history buffs in our group, as well as making things fun and light with pop culture references for the third (non-history buff) person in our group. He clearly had experience showing people around and was able to get us into some small shops to see some very unique things up close and personal (for example, the exact spot in which he stood for being measured for custom clothing). We saw some iconic shopping areas that were frequented and his favorite cigar bar and smoking chair. Kevin even met us at our hotel and gave us tips on how to use the tube. This tour was eye catching and memorable, and Kevin was the cherry on top. Admittedly, the non-history buff in the group is who is writing this review. I wasn't sure it'd be may favorite of our two-week trip around Europe, but it sure was the winner. Book this tour! Our group decided we'd like to do the underground city tour next time around.

Kevin was a fabulous tour guide! Not only did he show us Charles Dickens sites, he shared so much London/British history! He was so kind and enjoyable for my husband and I to spend a morning with!

Kevin was a great tour guide. We lived in London for several years but learned many new things about the city during our tpur and saw several places we had not seen before!

This tour was honestly the highlight of our entire trip to London. Kevin was a wonderful guide -- amusing, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw Roman London as few tourists ever do -- hidden away in basements, garages, parks. For us, it was so much better than the crowded tours of palaces and churches -- and took us far back in time to the founding of this amazing city.

On the guided tour to Hatfield House, do we get to see the oak tree that Elizabeth I was sitting under when she learned she was **NOW** queen?

As Steph62189 says below (thankyou btw), we don't normally go there but certainly can if you'd like to. It is around half a mile each way from the main section of the house,

If you ask the tour guide ahead of time, they will absolutely arrange for that. I told them what we were interested in seeing and we were not disappointed. The owner is wonderful- we still chat from time to time!
