I am Marc Zakian, a professional tour guide, and writer.
Don't be stuck with a boring tourist guide. Me and my colleagues promise a relaxed, fun and informative experience, presented in an engaging style.
We have all been awarded the Blue Badge - the highest level qualification in UK guiding.
This involves over one year of intensive study and exams and allows the holder to guide exclusively in the major cultural and tourist institutions across London.
For driver-guide tours you will be collected in a 6 seater Renault Grand Scenic, with air conditioning and leather seats and sunroof, or a similar vehicle. Guides and drivers are fully insured and registered.
We pride ourselves on being flexible and professional.
We collect you from your hotel or office, or at the airport – daytime or evening.
Tour itineraries can be organised an hour to a day.
We run tours in English, Italian and other languages.
We enjoy creating tours tailored to your or needs.
If your interest is art, architecture, theatre, history, film or shopping, just let us know and we will plan the tour to suit you!

Thanks again for the great tour in London. You are a first class professional and should be proud of what you do
Michelle Davis, USA says:
We had an absolutely wonderful time!! I wish we would have had more time to really take in the history London has to offer. Thanks so much for your time and effort to make this an exciting and educational experience
Susan Delzompo - USA says:
A big THANK YOU for a great tour and all the fun information you shared with us. We all really had a good time
Pauline Xinaris, Cyprus says:
Marc was very friendly and patient, and he showed us so many things that even my husband who's traveling very often to London, never knew about. With his own special way he made the tour very interesting for the children who wanted to repeat it right the next day. Marc made us feel very comfortable and we could ask him anything we wanted to know - he was very, very helpful
Tiziana Grillini, Italy says:
Our Tour in Italian with Marc was excellent
Carol Hoffman, USA says:
Thank you for an immensely educational and entertaining tour of London
Simeon Schindelman, USA says:
Thank you for our tours. They were enjoyable and rewarding. My son (13 years old) and I learned a lot and enjoyed our time with Marc a great deal. Our trip to London could not have been as successful without you!
The Mitchells and the Clearys, USA says:
Thanks again for the tours. They were a real highlight for us. The kids generally don't like tours and they enjoyed all of it. Please keep in touch
