Hey! I'm Shahaf, a London Tour Guide
I want to take you on a journey across London, give you important tips and show you the city from the perspective of a local tour guide.
Using my tours and blog, I will tell you about the history of London and the United Kingdom and answer your most burning questions – where should you visit? what is worth eating? and my personal favourite question in the world, what are the small, cool and interesting things hiding just under our noses.
So relax on the couch, on public transport or wherever you are. And join me – Shahaf, The Travelling Tour Guide, for Historical Tours and Hysterical Stories.
?How my journey began
In 2018, I moved to London and immediately fell in love with the city. The rich history around every corner, the diverse globe-spanning cuisine, the fascinating (and sometimes strange) museums, and of course, the endless attractions captivated me.
But in a city this big, it's easy to get lost. So I asked myself 'what is the easiest way to connect to a new place'? And, to be fair, the answer was simple "learn as much as possible about it"!
So, I read (a lot) and talked to the locals (also a lot). I did my best to experience everything I could – and believe me, there is still so much more. After all that I decided that what I really wanted was to share my knowledge with tourists who come to enjoy London.
?What's my tour philosophy
In my opinion, every tour and every traveller is unique. My main goal is, first and foremost, to ensure you enjoy yourselves and, if possible, learn a thing or two.
I believe that the value of a tour is not only in the content, but in the guide's connection with their guests. To make the experience worth your precious time, I weave my sense of humour and character, extensive knowledge on a variety of subjects and cool stories about London life, history and culture into each tour.
Why do the English love their tea? Above which main street did the Beatles perform their last live show? Why should a dragon be added to the UK flag? In my tours I will answer all these entertaining questions, and much more.
