Our Journey from Passion to London’s Leading Small Tour Company

We are Shabby and Slawek, the founders of Urban Saunters, and our story began with nothing but a love for London. With zero capital and one booking, we’ve built a thriving boutique tour company, welcoming over 20,000 visitors annually.

London is our muse, with its 2,000 years of history, vibrant neighborhoods, and endless stories. We focus on intimate, small-group tours, offering an authentic, unscripted experience led by expert local guides who live and breathe the city.

The Urban Saunters Difference

What sets us apart? Passion and personalization. Every tour we lead is a love letter to London. We pride ourselves on working with the creme de la creme of guides, ensuring each experience is unique. Our tours don’t follow a strict script—we tailor them based on the stories that excite us and the ones our visitors want to hear.

Despite our growth, our ethos remains the same: keeping our tours small, personable, and focused on quality over quantity. Whether we’re exploring hidden corners or highlighting iconic sites like St Paul’s Cathedral, we aim to show you the real London through a local’s lens.

Partnering with GetYourGuide

The pandemic hit hard, but in the face of adversity, we found resilience. In 2020, like many in tourism, our business came to a standstill. Yet, as we sat on a hill in South London, we envisioned a brighter future. By partnering with GetYourGuide, we gained the reach and visibility needed to grow from one booking to guiding thousands each year.

GetYourGuide became more than just a platform—it became a key partner in our success, offering support to help us stand out in a crowded market. They’ve been instrumental in enabling us to scale while maintaining our brand’s unique voice and personal touch.

Looking to the Future

We know that what makes London special will always evolve, and so will our customers’ expectations. The city is ever-changing, and we’re committed to staying flexible and innovative, always ensuring our tours reflect the city’s dynamic spirit.

As we continue to grow, we’re excited to remain London’s biggest small tour operator—staying true to our core values of passion, personalization, and a deep love for this extraordinary city.
