Why us
Since the announcement in 2005 that London would host the Olympic & Paralympic Games in 2012, our team of specialist guides has followed the whole project closely. We led walking tours around the perimeter of the site pre Games as well as on-site bus tours for the Olympic Delivery Authority from 2009 – 2011.
We worked for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic & Paralympic Games, sponsors and other organisations during the Games or were involved as volunteer Games Makers.
Since the 2012 we have worked closely with the London Legacy Development Corporation, the organization behind Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, formed to use the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop a dynamic new heart for east London.
We are passionate about the development, flexible and can tailor make a tour to suit your kind of group and any particular interests you may have. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Guided Tours can be on foot, by bicycle or a mix of private coach/vehicle and on foot.
We can manage individuals, clubs and associations, schools, universities and colleges, professional groups and incentives.
Many of our team of guides are accredited to lead tours in other languages such as French, Italian, Spanish and Greek.
