Here are examples of what people have said about my walks:
We had an incredible 3-hour tour with David, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He was extremely personable, easy to talk to, and an outstanding storyteller. Despite having visited London multiple times before, we learned so many new and fascinating things about the city. David’s ability to engage both us as adults and our young adult kids made the experience truly exceptional. It was dynamic, highly interesting, and never felt boring for a second. We will absolutely book David again on our next trip to London. Thank you, David, for such a memorable experience!

Mary and I want to thank you for the guided tour of Westminster. We really enjoyed the walk and all the different areas we saw.
Again, thank you. You were definitely the best tour guide we had in the trip including Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and of course London.

“Can highly recommend David as a tour guide. Apart from being enormously nice company, he gave us soooo much knowledge about every inch we covered on our walk with him. Lots of history and fun facts served perfectly for all ages. Do not miss out on a guided tour with him” Paula from Denmark
We enjoyed a fascinating insight into the history of the area around Westminster Abbey…..we learned so much about this beautiful part of London….finding out little nuggets of information on politicians, poets and authors who lived here. it felt like history being brought to life. We cannot recommend David’s tours highly enough. Perfect for all the family, all ages, and guaranteed to make you want to go back for more.

David pointed out many things that I would never have noticed and touched on such a variety of subjects that I look forward to joining him again sometime. He incorporated historical figures and events, beautifully blended with science and the arts, excellently presented and with charm. My favourite part was the old ICI headquarters, which I cycle past every day and had never known about!

In ‘A Meander around Marylebone’, expert guide David Mullany gave us a wonderful tour of this beautiful and most interesting part of London. It was great to have a private walk, a late birthday present for my husband, a gift we could share with friends. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon so much. Thank you to David for the insights into the story of this part of town We highly recommend London History Walking Tours and have booked our next walk!

‘A fascinating history of Marylebone…we learnt about the varied and beautiful architecture within the area and touched on the insights of notable individuals…’

This was a wonderful walk around the streets of Westminster. I’ve only lived in London for 8 years, so I know that there is still a huge amount to discover, but until I went on this walk I hadn’t realised quite how much history there is on almost every street! David is an amazing guide with a very relaxed, conversational style which made it very easy to ask even the daftest questions as we went along. I would thoroughly recommend David’s walks to anyone who wants to delve a little deeper into the history of Westminster, whether it is your first trip to London or you’ve lived here your whole life.

On this walking tour, David took us round parts of Westminster that we would never have discovered on our own.
S Dempsey
He has a great historical knowledge and was able to regale us with stories of interesting characters from the past and the things they got up to while living and working in the area.
Despite having lived for almost 50 years in London, I learnt a lot on this trip which was very well presented. Highly recommended for newcomers and residents alike.

Took David’s tour on a bright Sunday morning and was glad we did! The tour was a stroll around famous spots and hidden corners. David pointed out things you could easily walk past without noticing, and provided a brief and interesting history of the neighbourhood in a friendly conversational way. Loved the tour, Was an interesting afternoon and David is a knowledgeable and engaging guide full of interesting and historical stories. Fully recommend.
We joined David’s walking tour of Westminster and spent a thoroughly enjoyable time walking the back streets and hearing tales of famous current and past residents. David’s knowledge of the history and individuals involved was extraordinary and he made it all interesting and entertaining”

We arranged a private walk with David, ‘A cultural tour of Strand and Embankment’. Despite us being frequent visitors to London, David pointed things out to us that we had completely passed by before. His historical knowledge alongside anecdotes relevant to this walk made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

The walk was amazing. David had a funny or interesting story for every building or street he took us to

My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing a private walking tour of London with David, and it was absolutely fantastic! David’s friendly demeanor and warm personality made us feel welcome from the start. Throughout the tour, David shared captivating and insightful facts about London’s history and landmarks, keeping both the kids and adults engaged and intrigued. His knowledge and passion for the city truly shone through, making the experience not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. It was evident that he genuinely cared about providing us with a memorable and enriching experience. Overall, I cannot recommend David’s walking tour enough. It was a perfect blend of fun, education, and exploration. We will definitely be booking another tour with him in the future.-Frank, March 2024
David was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He ties history and storytelling with true passion for a variety of subjects. He tailored our tour to the area of our stay and interests of our group. We each had moments of immersive interaction, diving deeper into the subjects of interest as they presented themselves. While there are certainly must see areas, it truly felt like David was giving us his best kept secret spots. Would highly recommend his tours for first timers and locals alike. Will definitely look to book him again if lucky enough to visit London in the future!-Steven

We did a London tour with David and he was terrific. Very knowledgeable and personable and willing to customize the tour towards the things we hadn’t seen yet. We are booking for a second day in a row.-William
David created a bespoke tour for us at short notice to explore the secret alleys, squares and gardens of The City of London. Hidden behind the busy streets are echoes and whispers of the ancient history of this awesome city. David did a superb job of guiding us through a maze of steel and glass skyscrapers which sit side by side with Roman ruins and the history of 2000 years of Londoners. His enthusiasm and knowledge were match with perfect pace and details, keeping our unruly group of international colleagues fascinated and engaged throughout. I can’t thank him enough for a brilliant evening and for sharing the secrets of London with us so well. Jonathan
David was so knowledgeable and he showed us the most unique places in our area. Places and stories I had never heard being someone who lived here at one point. He is the BEST! Definitely worth booking for a tour.-Caroline
David was awesome! He was very informative and enthusistic and interactive. My family loved our time with David exploring London. We learned a lot and had a great time! Highly recommend, especially early in your time in London for a better historical perspective. Rick
Loved every minute of our tour with David! Super interesting and knowledgeable guy. Felt like we were spending time hanging out with an old friend in London who gave us all of the info we were hoping for plus! Didn’t want it to end and if we had had more time we would have definitely booked a second! Highly recommend booking a tour with David!-Teresa
My wife and I have visited London on many occasions over the years and have seen most of the standard “tourist” sites. We searched for a private guide to lead us to areas not typically encountered on London tours. David provided us exactly what we were looking for, going well beyond our expectations. We explored hidden gems and learned of their rich history. David was knowledgeable, engaging, insightful and open to questions. We would heartily recommend David to anyone looking to see Hidden London. Julene
I was in London for only 7 hours and I couldn’t wish to get a better guide than David. He is an amazing guide, with all the knowledge needed to give the best tours. Even before closing with him, he just tried to help by giving me all the information I needed (what made me decide to close with him) He took me to all the major sites I wanted to see, he taught me so much but above all he is the nicest guy ever. I feel like I made a new friend in London and I enjoyed every minute with him. I highly highly recommend him. Thank you David! Eli
