London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is a historic city with many locations and sites proudly displaying the prominent history this metropolis has sustained during the passing centuries. Many recent buildings and monuments were erected as well, adding to the flair of a world renowned focal point, where history was made and where many secrets of the past are treasured. Any visitor to the great city is customarily awed by the sheer power of the historical majesty and the need to find out more, the natural curiosity of the human mind is being awakened.
There are many possibilities geared towards how to encounter all the city has to offer, ranging from the popular bus tours through the city, sightseeing walks, book instructions and bike tours. But none of the so called tourist sightseeing tours will allow for a tour which meets the personal interest of an individual, or perhaps a small group of enthusiasts looking to find the city of London which would fit their expectations and complement their own preferences and tastes. The only way how to achieve that level of personalization is to book a personal sightseeing London tour guide and embark on a journey through the city which is like no other.
There is a multitude of entrepreneurs professing to offer just the right balance of tourist attraction and personalized content many seem to seek nowadays, but, unfortunately, most of the personalized tours turn out to be a car with a talkative driver. While the drivers are sometimes very knowledgeable about the city and know interesting bon mots in regards to certain sights, it is very often the case that such drivers have no firsthand knowledge of all the sights in question, but have merely learned a guide book by heart.
The Marksman Tours pride themselves to be the best and most competent personal and private sightseeing tour guides, where each and every tour is unique and geared towards the customer. A wide variety of pre-determined special interest tours is on offer, to ease the choice. Their biggest competitor seems to be the Black Taxi Tours of London, where cab drivers, notorious for their in depth knowledge of London, guide you through London, showing you everything you would like to see and know about the British capital. Specialized “Harry Potter” tours are available as well, taking you from the locations where the movies have been staged, to the imagined places where “Diagon Alley” and the “Ministry of Magic” are supposed to be located. An outside visit to the mansion of the Harry Potter writer, J. K. Rowling, is also featured.
