Tours For My (Toddler) Kids
If you want to explore London with a toddler, or a couple of them, then choose one of our faster paced toddler experiences which will include a variety of different places, as I find changes of environment, opportunities to walk and run about and bite sized pieces of information help keep little ones happy and engaged.
If you take them to museums already then great, they will be prepared, if you’ve always thought they were too little for that kind of thing, we can give you ideas about how you make the most of museums with your little ones and encourage them into a lifelong love of museums and galleries!
All experiences are approx. 3 hours and are probably best done in the morning. All are buggy and toddler friendly.

London Transport Museum and Walk Toddler Experience
This is such a wonderful experience for all ages, interactive and engaging this tour will delight all the family!
The London Transport Museum is AMAZING for kids – it is extremely interactive and full of old trains and buttons and things to touch. You can spend an hour or so exploring, then have a wander through Covent Garden and hopefully catch some street performers, you can pop into Inigo Jones’ beautiful 17th century St Paul’s Church and then walk through some of the little shopping streets of Neal’s Yard, perhaps stopping for a babycino. You can check out our blog here.
Tickets: Tickets needed for the London Transport Museum. You can find prices here but please contact us before purchase so we can find the best way of doing things.
