Hello everyone! I have over twenty years of experience in the art world and a great passion for Art History. I consider it a sort of door in time, capable of putting us in touch with the past and helping us better understand the present. Every work tells a story, every detail speaks to us of eras, emotions and ideas that, in some way, still concern us today. Sharing all this with others is for me a wonderful opportunity for exchange, discovery and inspiration.

Tour description

“Heart of London – A Tour of History, Symbols, and Curiosities”

Discover the beating heart of London with me on a fascinating walking tour of iconic monuments, historic buildings, and hidden corners that tell centuries of British history.

Starting from Trafalgar Square, with the majestic Nelson's Column and the famous bronze lions, we will immerse ourselves in royal history crossing St. James's Park until we reach Buckingham Palace, where we will be able to witness (when scheduled) the famous Changing of the Guard.

Our itinerary will take us past unmissable places such as Westminster Abbey, where monarchs were crowned and buried, and Big Ben, the undisputed symbol of the city.

Along the way, we'll share legends, historical facts, and insider tips that only a local guide can share. Perfect for first-time visitors to London or those who want to rediscover it from a different perspective!
