London's Fantastic Beasts, Buildings, and Blokes
A delightful family friendly London walk! Melissa transports you from Roman Londinium, to the Great Fire, to the Blitz and beyond, all while looking out for a menagerie of animals, colorful people and eccentric buildings that tell London's stories. This is a perfect private tour for families, and Melissa can cater precisely to your children's interests.
Secrets of Royal Palaces and Parks
London's Fantastic Beasts, Buildings, and Blokes
London's Fantastic Beasts, Buildings, and Blokes
Join Melissa in St. James' Park to marvel at the beautiful animals and views all while considering royalty past and present, starting with a king known for violence. Then hear about the three King Charleses - one who loved a party, one who lost his head, and one whose story has barely been told (unless you watch The Crown). We'll see royal palaces and parks, all with bright and dark stories to be told. And hopefully we'll catch a glimpse of the resident pelicans!
Treasures of the V&A
London's Fantastic Beasts, Buildings, and Blokes
Family Ties - American History in London
You could spend TWO WEEKS in the V&A and still not see everything! Why not let me show you the highlights and hidden treasures that not many people know about in this iconic museum? Since working here for 2 years, I have an intimate knowledge of the museum's collections that not many tour guides have. I can show you treasures like Charles Dickens' portable writing desk, an Egyptian tunic that's almost 2,000 years old, and the portrait miniature Henry VIII received before he married his 4th wife!

American and London history go hand in hand. Sure, sometimes it's been a dysfunctional relationship, but most are! In these London tours we can see Benjamin Franklin's only surviving home, the church where John Quincy Adams was married, and where John Smith, the founder of Jamestown, is buried, not to mention a few famous presidents hiding in plain sight. The options are truly endless!
