About Us – Britannia Private Tours

Who We Are

A Family Business Built on Passion

Britannia Private Tours is a small, family-run company founded in London in 2015. We started with a simple belief — that the very best travel experiences are personal ones. Not coach tours, not crowded groups, but intimate journeys led by people who genuinely love what they do.

As a family business, quality is everything to us. Our reputation is built one guest at a time, and we take enormous pride in every tour we deliver. When you travel with Britannia, you are not just a booking — you are a guest, and we treat you as one.

From our very first tour to our five hundredth, that commitment to quality, warmth, and personal care has never wavered.

How It Started

Born from a Love of Britain

Our story began the way many good things do — with a love of a place and a desire to share it. Having spent years working as a professional guide and watching visitors struggle to connect with the true character of Britain through large, impersonal tours, we decided there had to be a better way.

We launched Britannia Private Tours in 2015 with a clear vision: exclusively private tours, led by knowledgeable and passionate guides, tailored completely to each guest. No scripts, no rushing, no compromise on quality.

Ten years on, that vision is stronger than ever. We remain small by choice — because staying small means staying exceptional.

What Drives Us

Our Values

Quality Above All

As a family business, our name is on everything we do. We hold every tour to the highest standard — because anything less simply isn't good enough.

Genuine Warmth

We welcome every guest the way we would welcome a friend. Warm, attentive, and genuinely delighted to share Britain's stories with you.

True Privacy

Every tour is exclusively yours. No strangers, no compromise — just you, your companions, and your guide, at your own pace.

Expert Knowledge

Our guides are licensed professionals with deep, specialist knowledge of British history, architecture, and culture — and a genuine passion for sharing it.

Personal Attention

From your first enquiry to the final farewell, we listen carefully and tailor everything to you. No detail is too small when it comes to your experience.

Honest Integrity

We are straightforward, transparent, and reliable. You will always know exactly what to expect — and we will always deliver on our promises.

"We will never sacrifice quality for quantity. Staying small, personal, and excellent is not a limitation — it is our greatest strength."

— The Britannia Family

Guides Who Truly Care

Our guides are the heart of everything we do. Licensed, experienced, and deeply passionate about Britain, they bring stories to life in a way that no guidebook ever could.

As a family-run business, we are selective about who represents Britannia. Every guide we work with shares our commitment to quality, warmth, and making each guest feel genuinely looked after.

Whether you are discovering London for the first time or returning to explore somewhere new, our guides will make it an experience you will want to talk about for years.
