ABOUT US

Customised Private Tours from London

Customised Private Tours from London

Customised Private Tours from London

My name is Stephen. I've had a long career in international business but now I've returned to my first love - showing visitors around the wonderful sites of England. My tours are private - you won't be sharing with anyone else. I will build a tour that does what you want. Tell me where you want to go; what you want to see; when you want to go; and how many of you. I will do the rest. Research. Plan. Reserve.


Totally personal. Discrete. Knowledgable. 


Pricing from $1,000/day all inclusive.


I will collect you from your London hotel, Dover or Southampton Cruise Terminal, all London airports or any other location in a  luxury Land Rover Defender 130. 


I can take up to 7 guests but up to 5 adults is perfectly comfortable.


My tours can be customised  to your requirements.


I will ensure you have a wonderful day out.


Visa/Mastercard/AmEx Accepted



Antique Fairs & Markets Tours

Customised Private Tours from London

Customised Private Tours from London

There are amazing antique markets within easy reach of London. Whatever your interest - art, jewelry, silver, furniture or other fascinating items - they have it all. Ardingly, about 1.5 hours from London, runs 9 times a year with over 1700 stalls and is one of Europe's largest. Sunbury, the dealers market, is 45 minutes from London and runs twice a month.


There are numerous other markets in or near London where we can arrange customised tours. Please get in touch. 


If you want top go further afield to Europe's biggest antique market in Newark it would be a two day trip. I can book you into a hotel or pub overnight.


I can build an itinerary around an antique market that includes a visit to a castle, stately home, gardens or historic town.

South of England

Customised Private Tours from London

South of England

The south of England probably has more castles than any other part of  the country.


 My favourites are Leeds Castle, Dover Castle and Hever Castle.


Chartwell - Sir Winston Churchill's home in the Weald of Kent is a special place.


Canterbury with its dramatic cathedral is always a  favourite. 


I also love the pretty Kent town of Tenterden with it's independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The fortified fishing port Rye with its arty feel. And Richmond-upon-Thames, beloved home of rock stars, actors and recent location of a Ted Lasso episode.



Historic Towns

A Driver for the Day

South of England

The south east of England has  some stunning historic towns. One of our favourites is Richmond upon Thames, west of London, established by Henry VII in 1501 when he built Richmond Palace, it features stunning architecture, narrow streets of shops, bars & restaurants and the famous Richmond Park. The fortressed port of Rye in West Sussex is another. Beautiful old streets, a castle and amazing views to France across the English Channel.
