        About Richard – Your Expert London & UK Tour Guide

​

Welcome to Richard’s Tours — where your journey through London and beyond becomes a truly unforgettable experience. I’m Richard Chambers, a passionate and highly experienced professional private tour guide, author and historian with decades of expertise showing visitors the very best of Britain’s history, culture and hidden gems.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by the stories, people and places that make this country great. Born on the Isle of Wight and with family roots in London, I’ve spent 20+ years living and exploring the UK’s greatest cities, and I genuinely love sharing that knowledge with visitors from all around the world.

​

A Bespoke, Personal Experience

Unlike standard group tours, my tours are fully personalised and flexible — tailored to your interests and pace. Whether you want an introduction to London’s iconic landmarks, a deep dive into literary history, a spine-tingling ghost walk, or a bespoke adventure beyond the capital, I’ll craft a day that’s just right for you.

Clients regularly describe my tours as being shown around by a knowledgeable friend — informative, engaging and entertaining. Reviews consistently highlight my enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and storytelling ability, bringing history vividly to life, from Dickensian London to Jack the Ripper’s East End.
