About Us

Some journeys are made of miles, but the most extraordinary ones are made of stories. At Pigeon Tours, we don’t just guide you through history—we bring it to life. Here, time bends, legends awaken, and the impossible becomes reality. Whether you find yourself dining beneath the glow of candlelit chandeliers in a royal mansion, wandering through enchanted halls where elves whisper secrets, or unlocking ancient mysteries hidden deep within London’s forgotten corners, every experience is designed to transport you beyond the limits of the ordinary.

The Vision Behind the Magic

Pigeon Tours was born from a love of folklore, forgotten stories, and the thrill of uncovering the unseen. Its founder, Valery Danko, is a storyteller in every sense of the word—a City of Westminster Tour Guide, actress, journalist, and world traveler, whose passion for the mystical, the historical, and the extraordinary has shaped every experience we create.

Raised in Kyiv, a city woven with tales of witches, medieval warriors, and Soviet secrets, Valery's journey has taken her across 46 countries, from the futuristic landscapes of Shanghai to the alchemical past of Prague, from volcanic islands lost in time to the grand, timeless streets of London—where she chose to build a world of immersive adventures.

Her love for storytelling led her to design magical quests for EMERGE and Totally Thames festivals, to write "Uncensored London", a book uncovering the city's most bizarre and secret histories, and to be honored with an invitation to dine with Princess Anne for her contributions to London’s cultural heritage. But her most cherished creation remains Pigeon Tour—a place where wonder is not just found, but lived.

A New Chapter: Pigeon Tours Meets Cinema

In 2025, filmmaker and producer Pierre Levasseur joins Pigeon Tours, bringing with him the art of Hollywood storytelling. Known for his love of fantasy, period drama, and folklore, Pierre will weave cinematic magic into each experience, turning them into fully immersive, living films where guests are not just spectators but characters in their own unforgettable stories.

Together, we are redefining what it means to experience history, fantasy, and luxury. We are crafting worlds, opening doors to places unseen, and proving that the most extraordinary adventures are the ones you never expected to find.

Magic isn’t just imagined. It is experienced.

And your story begins here.
