Welcome to London!

I'm Richard Ing and I'd love to show you around!

For over three decades, I have been fortunate to live and work in the vibrant city of London, which has given me an extensive knowledge of its captivating sights and sounds. With previous experience as both a police officer and a civil servant, I offer a unique perspective of the city's streets and world-renowned attractions.

My Story

Certified and Accomplished

I am a proud member of both the British Guild of Tourist Guides and the Association of Professional Tour Guides, accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding as a Level 4 Tourist Guide, the highest level achievable. As a testament to my love for London, I am a recipient of the coveted Blue Badge written exam award.

Uncovering Rich History

Whether you're visiting London for the first time or revisiting, I promise to reveal its rich history and entertain you with tales of the famous people who have made their mark on this great city. From kings and queens to rebels and revolutionaries, I guarantee an unforgettable journey through London's past.

Discovering Contemporary London

But London is not just a city of the past. With its diverse population, London is a buzzing cosmopolitan center, always bustling with activities. Whether it's shopping, theater, food, pubs, bars, museums, or galleries, I can help you make the most of your visit.

Experience Royalty

London is also the residence of the Royal Family, who often move around attending official engagements or entertaining visiting world leaders. There's a high chance we might spot them. Witness the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace for an unforgettable experience.

Visiting World-Class Sites

I will take you to all the greatest sites, from the iconic Tower of London and Westminster Abbey to St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, The British Museum, The National Gallery, and more. Do you wish to explore further? Let me show you around the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Greenwich, or take you on a boat ride up the River Thames to Hampton Court Palace. London has been the backdrop for numerous movies and TV shows, so if you're a fan of Harry Potter or William Shakespeare, I can take you to the famous locations you'll recognize from the big and small screens.

Fun for Families

As a father of teenagers, I understand the importance of balancing fun, education, and enjoyment for families. I know that history and culture require regular helpings of hot chocolate, ice cream, and chips.

Day Trips Outside London

London's attractions extend beyond the city limits. Let me show you other world-class sites, such as Oxford, Stratford Upon Avon, Canterbury, Salisbury, Bath, The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, and Windsor, which can all be covered on a day trip from London.

Top-Class Experience

I guarantee that a tour with me will always be thrilling, captivating, and entertaining. You're in the world's greatest city to make the most of your visit, and I am here to make that happen.
