For those interested in an enthralling side of
London's history ...or wishing to trace family roots
...or simply wanting an entertaining few hours

Join me, Stephen Burstin, on a wonderful journey to discover the fascinating history and rich heritage of London's Jewish community.
With a choice of three different conducted tours (or a full day combining two tours) we shall stroll together along the alleyways and backstreets of London’s former Jewish quarters.

I conduct these tours throughout the year with public tours every Sunday for just £10 and reasonably priced private tours any day of the week. There's my Spitalfields & Aldgate tour in the famous East End of London;  my Soho & Fitzrovia tour in the bustling West End; and back in the East End district is my Stepney & Whitechapel tour (Please read full details by clicking below on MY TOURS).

On all three tours I recount incredible tales about people and places, tales that are heartbreaking one moment and heartwarming the next. I will introduce you to some colourful characters from the past and point out numerous enthralling sites of Jewish interest …and many are little known sites!  My tours are entertaining as well as informative and as one former client says on my Testimonials page: "You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy Stephen’s tours".

As a specialist guide of Jewish London with more than 25 years experience in conducting tours,     I shall delight in sharing with you my knowledge and enthusiasm, a legacy from my parents who gave me a unique insight into the amazing history of Jewish life in London where I was born. (See what former clients say about my tours by clicking below on TESTIMONIALS).

There are lots of ways to enjoy my tours:

  • Sunday Public tours every week for just £10 or reasonably priced Private tours any day of the week – both ideal for visitors to London or an entertaining excursion for family and friends or even for colleagues seeking an enjoyable work’s outing
  • Group tours for clubs or Synagogue congregants, catering for your particular requirements and at your preferred pace (please see the testimonials from the London Jewish Cultural Centre and Ilford District Synagogue)
  • One of my Sunday public tours is also the perfect entertainment for your visiting relatives or friends and Wedding or Barmitzvah guests. Or you may consider booking a reasonably-priced private tour just for them.  Another great idea is to give my £10 Gift Voucher which pays for either of my Sunday public tours (see details on the Gift Vouchers at the bottom of Dates, Times & Contact Me page)
  • School tours tailored in length, content and presentation (according to the age group) and providing an educational experience in an entertaining format.             Free post-tour exercise sheets if required (see the William Davis  School testimonial)
