We’ve been guiding people since 2006 with both in-person and virtual tours of London. You’ll find a whole list of my 2023 current collection of tours here.
Some of my recent reviews:
“We did a private tour with Loona as our guide. 2 adults and 2 kids, boys 11 and 13. And it was magnificent. Loona was thoughtful, incredible at telling the history and making us understand, why certain objects were important. With finesse and engaging storytelling. Our kids and us had the best time at a museum in our lives. Thank you. We will be back. And we will forever recommend Loona as a guide.” Jeppe, Denmark, Air BNB Experiences
“Loona is the best of the best! My whole family enjoyed his storytelling and all the insights he gave us! My 15 year old said to give a great review and put exclamation mark at the end of the every sentence! That’s how good he is! We wish we didn’t have to rush the last part of it to catch another appointment! If we come back, we would book a full day with him if that’s an option!” Dandan, Austin, Texas, USA
“A a first class tour guide, an excellent group facilitator, inspiring, enthusiastic and with endless historical knowledge” Sue Goldstein
“Head and shoulders above other tours” Julie Bennett, London Tour Guide
“Loona had such wonderful reviews, and I can say that the many accolades he receives are certainly warranted. His command of the history, science, geography and archeology of the museum are outstanding. He was able to make our time together interesting, humorous and awe inspiring. We are so grateful that we ended up taking a tour of the magnificent British Museum with him.” Catherine, Santa Rosa, CA, USA
“Loona’s depth of knowledge and ability to communicate this was remarkable. His enthusiasm is infectious and his, seemingly inexhaustible, energy makes for an exceptional way to spend a couple of hours.” Pete West
“OUTSTANDING!!!!! Absolutely amazing tour and unforgettable experience. Highlight of the trip for my 17 and 21 year olds. Loona has an encyclopedic knowledge and weaves you around a museum, that could feel overwhelming, flawlessly showing you the top exhibits w superb explanations. He is a such a great teacher and storyteller that the time flew by. This is not a tour that should be missed by anyone!” David, Connecticut, USA

“It was incredible”
An amazing, online walking tour from St Paul’s Cathedral to Bankside. Loona, was extremely welcoming and also very knowledgeable. He brought the history of this area to life, with the many tales of life along this little area. It was incredible! The resources used were engaging and detailed. Loona interacted with his participants , making the viewer feel actively involved with the experience. I thoroughly recommend this tour. It was fabulous and I shall definitely be expoloring Loona’s other tours.

“A wide range of interesting visual material – Google Earth, old photographs, maps and period illustrations.It was incredible”
A very enjoyable tour of Canary Wharf and Limehouse by Loona Hazarika which I recommend highly. Wide-ranging, covering the history of the Isle of Dogs and the development of Canary Wharf from its role in the British Empire to the financial powerhouse of today. Wide range of interesting visual material – Google Earth, old photographs, maps and period illustrations. Well planned, friendly and humorous presentation
Moira Allan
“Exceptionally well presented and most informative and was one of the most professionally delivered on line lectures that I have attended.”
I had not managed to join a tour by Loona before and was very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, knowledge, delivery and attention to detail displayed. The talk was on line and dealt with that area of London close to and including Buckingham palace. It was exceptionally well presented and most informative and was one of the most professionally delivered on line lectures that I have attended. Priced at under £10 it represented very good value for money and I look forward to attending future tours by Loona

“A mix of historic and contemporary information, lots of really good visuals and pauses for questions”
This was the first virtual tour I’ve done with Let’s Discover London, but it definitely won’t be the last. Loona took us for a very informative & entertaining Stroll down the Strand (banana optional!) and it was great. A mix of historic and contemporary information, lots of really good visuals and pauses for questions. Can thoroughly recommend and am looking to book another tour.

“A a first class tour guide, an excellent group facilitator, inspiring, enthusiastic and with endless historical knowledge “
Loona is a first class tour guide, an excellent group facilitator and a charming person. He is inspiring,enthusiastic and with endless historical knowledge – which makes me hungry for more. We covered past history (oh so colourful…talking about the inspiration and resilience of people) and right up to the present day….Loona had a story for everything.I won’t spoil it for you by sharing too much ..just to say it really gave me an insight and food for thought.
Sue Goldstein
“He surpassed all with this one … he has knack of telling them. There is always an extra bit of research put in to his talks “
He surpassed all with this one. I loved the stories as he moved from street to street. All well known stories but Loona has a knack of telling them and you feel it is the 1st time of hearing them. There is always an extra bit of research put into his talks. I could listen to him speaking all day!!! What a talent, it just shows what excellent thorough research can produce. Keep up the good work, cannot wait for the next episode. Thank you
“Head and shoulders above other tours”
From my experience Loona’s tours are head and shoulders above other tours. I will definitely be going on more tours with him and am going to enquire about a tailor made tour with him too. Julie Bennett, tour guide
“A rivetting tour guide … literally transports us in to the pages of history”
I had the privilege of going on the British Museum Highlights Tour and it was like going into a timemachine! Loona is a riveting tour guide and literally transports us into the pages of history with anecdotes, extra information and humour thrown in for good measure! His knowledge is phenomenal and so well researched that the hour and fifteen minutes fly by. He made me feel like I was actually in the museum looking at the exhibits I never thought it would be so much fun! This is a highly recommended virtual tour, complete with your own tour guide!
