“Every family that reaches out is wrestling with the same thing: how do we make this work for everyone? I’ve spent fifteen years solving exactly that. I design days where the children are wide-eyed, the grandparents feel completely looked after, and the parents can finally exhale and just be in London together.”

Why explore with Tally Ho
A few kind words from guests we’ve had the pleasure of hosting.
“We booked a private family tour with Tally Ho based off reviews, and they did not disappoint. Our guide Katie was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and warm. She handled our rowdy group of four kids with ease. She was extremely patient and tailored her stories to the kids’ interests. We had an amazing time and would recommend this tour to anyone.”

“James was an amazing guide. Dapper, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very friendly. My wife and I had a lovely time visiting historic pubs, learning about London’s beer culture, and exploring hidden, peaceful corners of the city. Highly recommend the pub tour and James specifically.”

“The booking process was so slick and made everything smoother and easier. Our day trip to Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath turned out to be everyone’s favourite day of the whole holiday. The experiences were exactly what we’d hoped for, and the guides you arranged were fantastic. Truly grateful we found Tally Ho.”

Plan this dayGood to Know
Helpful details for planning your tailored day.
A small team of guides we know personally and trust completely. Some hold the Blue Badge qualification (the gold standard in UK guiding), others are historians, food experts, or brilliant storytellers who’ve lived in London for decades. Every one of them is warm, sharp, and genuinely good company.
Many hold the Blue Badge, the highest guiding accreditation in the UK. Others bring deep specialist knowledge in food, history, or architecture. We don’t hire generalists. Every guide on our team was chosen because they make people feel looked after and leave them with stories worth retelling.
Absolutely. We shape the pace, the stops, and the storytelling around your group. Curious teenagers get the gritty details. Little ones get regular breaks and ice cream stops. Grandparents get a gentler rhythm. Nobody’s dragged along; everybody’s included.
Everything. Route planning, timing, tickets, restaurant bookings, transport between stops. You won’t need to open Google Maps once. We use black taxis, premium vehicles, or a combination depending on your day.
Even better. Tell us what you’re into (royal history, Harry Potter, hidden pubs, street food, countryside escapes) and we’ll build the whole day around it. The more specific you are, the more we can surprise you.
Almost none. Tell us who’s coming, when you’re here, and what sounds fun. We’ll come back with a plan, handle all the details, and you just show up. If you want to be more involved, we’re happy to collaborate. But most guests prefer to hand over the reins and relax.
