MICE and Business Tourism
London is the perfect location for meetings, conferences and exhibitions for people all around the world. When organising these, event planners are often put under huge time constraints to find the perfect events and experiences to complement the MICE schedule.
Whether you’re looking for an evening excursion for the whole delegation, or an activity for the families of attendees, Unseen Tours provides the perfect escape and alternative way to see the real and authentic London – a welcome change from the tourism hotspots, with the added benefit of making positive social impact.
An Unseen Tour is perfect for both daytime and evening activities. In fact, it’s probably better during the evenings, to get a better feel for the hidden stories that London is buzzing with.
If you would like to incorporate Unseen Tours in your MICE or Business Tourism activities, let us know your ideas and requirements at walk@unseentours.org.uk

Remember: 60% of revenue is paid directly to the guides, with all remaining revenue used for essential operational costs (including a phone and travel costs for the guide). Any profit is directly reinvested back into the enterprise to scale our positive social impact.
Meetings and Incentives
Our tours are all very easily accessible on London’s public transport, and are located near many of London’s most sought after meetings venues – suitable for both large and more intimate meetings, with something to suit all tastes and budgets.
Including our Unseen Tours in your meetings and incentives programme can help break up long business days with a fun yet meaningful activity, and is a great way to impress your clients and business associates by aligning profit with purpose, showing them that you care about making a positive social impact in London also.

Conferences
Let us take the stress out of organising the social events for your conferences, through a range of different tour and experience options.
Unseen Tours make a great addition to evening and weekend conference programmes, providing a social experience for your local, domestic and international conference delegates. With stories of interest to locals and visitors alike, an Unseen Tour can bring everyone together in a fun and socially conscious way.
For longer conferences, you may also be interested in our not-in-a-pub quiz, also curated by our Unseen Tour guides, which can be delivered both virtually and in person, to suit all your needs and requirements.
With a wealth of experience in responsible tourism, business development and social entrepreneurship, sociology, cultural heritage and issues around homelessness, our guides and directors can also be invited to speak at your event.
Similarly, we’re happy to facilitate discussions around challenging stereotypes and better understanding issues around homelessness.
Let us know your ideas and requirements and we’ll have a chat to see how we can meet your needs.

Organising events to complement your exhibitions and trade shows just got a whole lot easier with many opportunities for private tours available with Unseen Tours.
With various tours dotted around London, close to many of London’s top exhibition spaces, an Unseen Tour can be a fun addition to your exhibition schedule.

Business trip entertainment
So, you’re in London on business again. You’ve seen London’s biggest, busiest and most popular attractions, and you’re not sure what else the city has to offer. Sound familiar?
Unseen Tours provides an alternative experience for business tourists who have seen the main tourist attractions and are looking for something new to see and do.
Our tour guides share stories that are not found in the guidebooks – making them the perfect addition for itineraries of people who have often frequented London. They also provide valuable insight to London for people visiting London for the first time.
So why not join a tour on your next visit and see London in a fresh way?
Staff induction and training
If you’re bringing a new team or cohort together for some training in London, an Unseen Tour can add value and opportunity for team-bonding throughout the training schedule.
If you have new staff moving to London, the local stories woven into our tours provide valuable insight for people new to London.
London locals will also be impressed by the quirky facts and stories that even long-term Londoners are unaware of.

Leadership experiences
Some people may be surprised if you suggest an Unseen Tour as part of your Leadership Experience, but we think our experience fits the bill on several fronts.
We provide an enjoyable experience for the whole team to explore an area of London together, and are also a powerful way to explore what matters to leaders and their companies.
The tours enable leaders to speak to people who have experienced homelessness and learn about alternative business models and ways that profit can align with purpose to make a positive social impact in society.
It may also be possible to arrange a meeting with the directors of the organisation, providing an interesting case study for leaders to consider as they focus on growing their own companies.
Our guides and directors can also be invited to speak at your leadership event, with our experience in responsible tourism, business development and social entrepreneurship, sociology, cultural heritage and issues around homelessness.
Similarly, we’re happy to facilitate discussions around challenging stereotypes and better understanding issues around homelessness.
