Would you like to discover the best of London's historic center in just a few hours?
We offer private guided tours in French that will make your stay unforgettable.
Here are a few examples of feedback from travelers who have visited the historic center with us:
To be honest, it was the first time we'd used a guide. Not being fluent in English and interested in a bit of London history, we took the plunge.
To cut a long story short, we'd like to thank Floriane for her support. We had no trouble finding each other, the meeting place and the accuracy of her contact details gave us confidence. We were lucky enough to get to know a smiling, pleasant and well-informed person about her adopted city.
Over time, we've opened up to each other, and to each other.
This guided tour was very constructive, very enriching and full of wonderful surprises.
We have very fond memories of Floriane, and her contact details have already been recorded, along with those of your "Bonjour Londres" group.
We'll be sure to recommend you to our friends on a future visit.Patricia and Pierre
The tour went very well and Floriane is an excellent guide. She knew how to adapt the tour to our desires and we were able to see more atypical places. Even on the classic tourist spots, she had different and interesting anecdotes to give. What's more, Floriane has an ease about her that makes you feel like you're visiting the city with a friend. A very pleasant time, to be recommended.

Just a quick message to say that we really enjoyed the guided tour with Floriane, who was top-notch and very professional!
Our stay in London wouldn't have had the same flavour without this visit and his invaluable advice!
Thank you very much!
I will definitely recommend you!Aline
I wanted to thank you for everything you did for us regarding the transfer from the airport to the hotel and the guided tour.
We were very well received by the driver and Floriane.
We are very happy with our stay, and thanks to you everything was perfect.
Floriane was charming and pleasant, with a great command of her subject, and thanks to her we saw what we wanted to see.
The driver was great too, and we'll have him on Sunday for our return to France.
In any case, we won't forget this stay and next time we'll be calling on you again, that's for sure.
Many thanks for everything and we're enjoying our last evening in this beautiful city of London.Violette
We really enjoyed this 3-hour private tour of London. Floriane was very professional and attentive...We didn't notice the time passing...What's more, we were lucky enough to walk around in beautiful sunshine.
We were 100% won over.
Many thanks to FlorianeChristine
We had a great time as a family (2 sisters aged 47&54 with their parents aged 77&80) with our guide Floriane.
Young French woman, very friendly and dynamic
We felt like we were with a friend showing us around her town.
We didn't notice the 3 hours or the kilometers go by
She knew how to adapt to us (we had already visited the abbey, so we skipped that step - we hadn't eaten, so we were able to eat in Green Park while listening to her anecdotes).
It's a change from purely historical tours and we discovered some unusual places.
I recommendAude
Many thanks to Hugo for his personalized guided tour of London. It was great fun, as he took us to places we wouldn't have visited on our own, while giving us lots of little facts and anecdotes!
Everything is perfectly organized before the trip to find out what we want and a few days before to let us know where we'll be meeting.
Well done!Sylvie and Jean-Jacques
I'd like to thank Cristina for her visit to London and for her excellent introduction to the way Londoners live, the neighborhoods in the making, the city's projects, and the history and uniqueness of this population with its strong character.
Cristina knows each area inside out and is able to give a very educational description of it.
Many thanks, and for visiting hidden patios!Lowran
If you'd like to visit London on foot, at your own pace and off the beaten track, in a package tailored to your individual needs, then "Bonjour Londres" is for you - and it's a real treat!
Last Tuesday, February 13, braving the bad weather, we spent the whole morning on a remarkable tour, led by Raphaël, on a route perfectly adapted to our wishes, both in terms of the theme and our physical capabilities: truly tailor-made!
Raphaël made himself perfectly accessible to us, and very quickly won us over to his love of this beautiful city. He was quick to share his knowledge of different aspects of the city (origins, architecture, society, etc.), and it was a moment of great complicity, as if we'd known each other for a long time. It was enough to make our mouths water and inspire us to go further on our own.
We were lucky enough to bump into him again in the afternoon, well after the end of our morning guided tour, and had the pleasure of meeting one of the friends he'd told us about, who also shares a love of this city and its origins, and we chatted some more.
A big thank you to you Raphaël, I almost feel like saying "to you", so much the current passed well between us.
Until another time perhaps, as I think we'll be back to enjoy London under better weather conditions ... and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again.Michel D.
A wonderful afternoon spent with Raphaël. You made us discover unsuspected corners and share your passion for this magnificent city, its history, its inhabitants and many anecdotes. We're going to follow the advice you left us for the rest of our stay! We'll certainly be back, as your advice was so abundant and made us want to discover more than time would allow.
A very nice visit with Raphaël! Many thanks to you.Delphine and Thierry
Thanks to Cristina, we discovered the city of London. And for three hours we not only benefited from her knowledge and culture, but also shared and exchanged with Cristina about the history of England, her love for her city, her country and her roots. The visit was rounded off by sound advice on the rest of our stay, restaurants, etc. etc.
We had an enriching experience with a really nice guide...!
Obrigado Cristina!Guillaume and Sophie
Top-notch guided tour, Raphaël is a very nice guide, passionate and a wellspring of knowledge.
A must-see tour of tourist London and "hidden" LondonDIONNET delphine
Thanks to Cristina for showing us around her city, which she knows so well. Without her, we would have missed out on so much.
Very pleasant person who knows how to share his knowledge which is great
We are delighted and had a great time We recommend Bonjour Londres
Thanks again CristinaRené and Genevieve
I highly recommend this walk through London. We discover a city with a fascinating history, with its past and present treasures, its panoramas and its more intimate places. Raphaël guides us, tells us and shares with us the secrets of a people he loves so much. Bravo and thank you!
Sophie
Thanks to Raphael for the visit, if we can call it that.
Of all the visits I've made on my many travels, this was by far the richest, both in terms of culture and human exchange. Raphael is an all-round person who will quickly put you at ease. He's a man of knowledge, but far from academic.
Thanks again for the day we spent together, and for the lovely photos you took and were kind enough to send us.monica eusebio
Raphaël introduced us to the city of London in a very lively and enriching way!
A lover of London, he'll take you on a tour from the must-sees to the most hidden places. He knows everything about London, its history and stories. He was very attentive to our expectations and tailor-made the tour to what we liked! Without him, we definitely wouldn't have seen London in the same way!
Raphaël is much more than a guide: genuine and endearing, in just a few hours he's become a friend with whom we love to chat about so many different subjects. His general knowledge is off the charts! We could have talked to him for hours and hours, he's so fascinating...
A big THANK YOU to Raphaël for the wonderful time we had; meeting him was undoubtedly one of the finest moments of our stay! Now that he's made us love London, we can't wait to go back (and see him again...!).
Bonne continuation Raphaël, BRAVO and respect for the person you are!
Visit really to recommend!!!François & Mélanie
We've just left Raphaël, and we're already missing all his wit and knowledge. This unusual tour of London, where he adapts to our requests, is a real moment of sharing.
Alain and Sophie
With a little delay, we'd like to thank you, Raphael, for this beautiful June afternoon through London. Two words to sum it up: exchange and conviviality.
More than just a tourist spot, you helped us discover the soul of the city, and share your love of England and Londoners. A great success.Françoise and Jacques
As well as being charming, Raphael adapts to you, your pace and your tastes to tailor a visit to London. The tour is not touristy, but a living London, between yesterday and today. Raphael is very helpful. In a relaxed way, he shares his knowledge with us, taking us off the beaten track. With him, you discover the authenticity of the city, and you never see the time go by.
Cécile and Sylvie
The visit with Floriane was excellent. She adapted to our "Harry Potter" requests, showing us atypical places in addition to the classic ones. We loved talking to her about London and its history.
Thank you.Richard
Raphaël, in 1 word waouhhhh !!!! We couldn't have wished for anything better - he's perfect! Much more than a guide, Raphaël gave us a fantastic afternoon full of human interaction, culture and laughter. He'll be the 1st person we'll contact again on our next trip to London. Just like Thibaut in Lisbon... Thank you, thank you to your site. I recommend ++++++
Magali and Jérôme
We had the immense pleasure of visiting London with a true lover of the city: our guide Raphaël. He knew how to adapt to us and our 2 children, helping us discover historic London, cultural London, gastronomic London and artistic London. He showed us unusual places that we wouldn't have entered on our own, but which simply enchanted us.
Many thanks to you Raphaël. And to quote my daughter after the visit: "I think I'm a little in love with this city!Flore, David, Louise and Tess
A very pleasant visit with Hugo, who is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and has anecdotes for each place we visited. Thanks to him, we were able to discover small, tourist-free streets and stroll around the city at our leisure. Thanks again, Hugo!
Catherine, Philippe and Romane
One word to sum up the visit with Raphaël: TOP!
Raphaël is much more than just a guide: he shares his passion for London by telling us anecdotes and showing us unusual places, all in a spirit of sharing, good humor and conviviality.
Raphaël, THANK YOU!POINSIGNON
Very good visit with HUGO who is very friendly. Many thanks to him.
We saw things we would never have seen for ourselves.
Very well organized.
To be recommended.RIOLAND
Just one word: "Thank you!
Yes, thank you Raphaël (and Hugo!) for this visit, despite the terrible weather! We were soon on first-name terms, giving way to an almost friendly rapport...
an unusual way to discover London that we highly recommend!
To do again under the sun!!!
What more can I say except go for it!!!!Gerald and Michel
Thanks to Raphaël for this very enjoyable tour of London. This Frenchman, in love with the city, will show you places that only you could find. This passionate man will show you beautiful stones, gardens on the city's slopes, little streets in historic districts that have retained their charm, and all at your own pace, given the "few" steps you have to climb.
Thank you for introducing us to the works of graphic designers on the city walls, to the little artists' galleries and curiosity stores.you're an artist in your own way, don't change a thing, authenticity is what people like.Claudine and Jean Pierre Caron
We discovered this wonderful city thanks to Raphaël. A visit carried out in good spirits, adapted to our desires, which enabled us to discover London and its culture off the beaten track.
Raphaël, you're hoping to make visitors want to come back, and we've already done that.
I highly recommend this visit to anyone who really wants to discover London.
Mouchel Valérie
Many thanks to Christina for this inspiring 3-hour visit, improvised as if with a friend. That's the whole point of this kind of walk: it's a light-hearted stroll, far from the obligatory routes, far from the recited academic history courses, with someone who knows her city from the inside, who loves it and who knows how to draw our attention to what makes its soul today.
It was great. Perfectly suited to our expectations. We got to see the city from below, at people level (and sometimes even cat level 😉 )...
Christina gave us all the keys we needed to continue on our own, like grown-ups, whether we were choosing a museum or settling into a typical restaurant.
We recommend...Joëlle and Bernard
