About
The City of Westminster is the royal and political heart of the United Kingdom, founded by the Anglo-Saxons on the ancient Isle of Thorney. The city is full of famous historical sites, but also streets and secret courts that time seems to have forgotten. This tour invites you to explore these two facets of this unmissable area.
On the way we will see the Palace and Westminster Abbey, the most beautiful streets in the neighborhood, a church looking curious and inspired by the whims of a queen and even a gas lamp 200 years old! We will also talk about some great characters like Richard the Lionheart, Oliver Cromwell, a soldier whose life inspired a cult movie from the 60s, and a Parliament official with a rather strange role.
Through this tour, the fascinating history of the City of Westminster will be unveiled in all its aspects.

- OYP-London0 contributionsExcellent tour, full of facts and anecdotesVery good value. We organised a tour for 11 people around the East End of London. Our guide Jordi was fabulous, and full of energy, mixing facts, anecdotes and humour with ease. Our 4-hour tour of the East End was varied, full of fun and informative. We will rebook next year for a different area of LondonWritten April 25, 2022

We spent an excellent morning with Maxime discovering the secrets of Westminster and we can only advise very very strongly to appeal to him as he will make you discover this part of London with passion and humor. Londoner by adoption for several years, he shares many anecdotes and delivers many tips for walks and good addresses. Without him we would have passed by small streets, beautiful houses, historical facts...
It is certain that we will again survey London in his company!!
Thanks again Maxime!

We really enjoyed this visit to the beautiful Westminster district. Maxime is great, he makes us discover lots of things that we wouldn't have seen alone.
Plus he knows his subject like the back of his hand and is a wonderful storyteller.
Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed! We have made several visits and they are all fascinating.

C’est après une visite déjà bien intense dans les rues de la capitale Britannique que nous avions rendez-vous avec Maxime pour un tenter d’élucider le mystère encore bien réel de Jack l’éventreur. Nous avons eu l’occasion d’arpenter les ruelles du quartier de Whitechapel, à la recherche des indices que Jack aurai pu laisser aux différents endroits et scènes de crimes disséminés dans le quartier. Une immersion totale dans le Londres de l’automne 1888.
La visite avec Maxime était tellement intéressante que nous avons comblé le dernier créneau disponible dans notre planning de visite de Londres pour une seconde visite avec lui. C’est dans le quartier de Westminster que nous nous sommes donné rendez-vous. Une fois de plus il a su rendre cette visite très intéressante et nous a communiqué sa passion pour cette ville.
Je recommande absolument ! Et j’ai hâte de repasser un weekend à Londres pour me lancer dans de nouvelles aventures en compagnie de Maxime.

Très chouette visite guidée en compagnie de Maxime. Il a su nous faire découvrir les richesses de ce quartier, avec beaucoup de petites anecdotes, et les grandes lignes de l’histoire des Rois et Reines d’Angleterre. Une belle découverte, un bon moment de partage et de convivialité!
N’hésitez pas à faire appel à lui! ;-)

Nous avons eu la chance de réaliser 2 visites guidées avec Maxime: les secrets de Westminster et Londres insolite.
Visites très intéressantes, remplies d'anecdotes, illustrées par des photos ou peintures pour l'intérieur de bâtiment ou bâtiments détruits On passe dans des ruelles que l'on n'aurait jamais connues sans Maxime. Que de belles découvertes en plein centre de Londres!
