HobNob Tours
Exclusive Private Walking Tours

My name is Sandy and I set up Hobnob Tours 11 years ago - I specialise in fascinating guided history walking tours of Mayfair, St James', Westminster, Southwark and Hampton Court Palace in Surrey.  My tours are exclusive meaning that I guide just for you and your family and friends. 

 

I research and write the tours myself and take pride in their accuracy as well as their entertainment value!  Unlike some other guides, I specialise in just five areas of London meaning that I have detailed knowledge of these areas which I pass on to my clients in a fun, interesting and amusing way.  As well as picking out the most interesting historical snippets to tell you, I like to provide you with stories and anecdotes of the past that you won’t have heard anywhere else.  By the end of a tour with me, you will feel as if you've really got under the skin of the area we have explored, found something that you wouldn't have discovered on your own, and be left with some happy, if rather odd, memories!

 

MY PHILOSOPHY

 

My aim is to give you a pleasant and memorable experience and your enjoyment is my priority.  I won't rush you and you set the pace; you can ask whatever questions you like and, if you need a food/drink or toilet stop, just tell me! 

​

I want you to feel comfortable during a tour otherwise you won't enjoy it so, with that in mind, there is a maximum of 6 (including me) on my London tours so that everyone can stay safe on the pavement and hear what is said above the usual City sounds.  At Hampton Court Palace, I also guide a maximum of 6 so that you can fit comfortably into the narrow passageways of Henry V111’s 500 year old palace.  

​

Many customers have said that being guided by me is like doing a tour with a good friend. Adult and family groups are equally welcome and the individual tour descriptions indicate those walks that children will like.

 

THE HOBNOB NAME

 

You might be intrigued by the name ‘Hobnob’!  It has two meanings: either as a biscuit made from rolled and jumbo oats, sometimes covered in chocolate, or as a term relating to a ‘friendly chat’ which is what Hobnob Tours does.  I like both!!
