Hi, I'm Andrew. By day I'm a walking tour guide. By afternoon (and most evenings), I'm a street performer and magician in Covent Garden. For over twenty years I've entertained crowds from all over the world, and I've learned one thing: people remember stories that make them feel something. That's what my tours are built around: surprising tales, sharp humor, and the kind of energy you'd expect from someone who works live crowds for a living. With 400+ five-star reviews across platforms, I'd say it's working. Come see London the fun way.
