The Original Private Tour Company
We put you first β and treat you like family
Ye Olde England Tours pioneered the concept of private, personalised touring in London back in 2012 β and everything we created was 100% unique and original. We have been the inspiration for countless imitations since, but nobody does what we do the way we do it. We put our guests first, we treat every tour as if it’s our first, and we never stop being passionate about England’s extraordinary history and people.
We write books, not someone else’s notes. We don’t check our phones or trudge around looking bored. If you don’t think about sending your guide a friend request after the tour β we’d be very surprised. We get told constantly that we should put our prices up and be more hard-headed about business. It’s just not who we are. We love our job, and we love our guests.

Took your video tour of London today, and was very impressed, with your knowledge, and the excellent way you presented the area. Brought back memories when I saw Barts Hospital, as my husband was there (from Surrey) just before receiving his heart transplant at Papworth Hospital, so it was a very emotional time – 38 years ago! Lots of extremely interesting things you pointed out, and I think it was a good Β£5 – worth! Would like to donate more to you, but not sure how to. Please contact me and let me know how I can donate.
