What are people saying about London

Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour

larspC8141PH, Oct 2026

Pub crawl with good company and good stories

The whole tour was fantastic and there were really some good stories and hidden gems around in SOHO. We had the pleasure of Ben as our guide, who really made the tour special with his great commitment and strange nature. We cannot recommend this pub crawl enough!

London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision

Paula_M, Oct 2026

Immersing experience!

Our tour guide was AMAZING! She was a great storyteller and had a really fun personality. Using the projector throughout the tour, with real places the victims visited, was a great addition that helped bring the story/history to life. What was awesome was that there was no censoring whatsoever, and we got to see the true horror that went down! 11/10 would recommend if you don't have a squeamish stomach.

The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London

Jay_M, Oct 2026

A Wonderful Informative Tour of English Countryside

A wonderful well-organized tour of Cotswolds and Bleinheim Palace. A tour's quality often depends on the tour guide. Our friendly tour guide, Phil, who embodies an English country gentleman, was a professor of knowledge who provided informative commentary not only on what we were seeing but also on other aspects of life in England. A great day seeing the English countryside with plenty of stops for refreshments and stretching of legs. Highly recommend.

London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs

Andrea_B, Oct 2026

Our Favorite Tour!

The pub tour with Wil was, by far, our most favorite part of our entire trip! Such a cool experience walking around parts of the city we would have never discovered on our own. Wil was the perfect tour guide, giving us interesting bits of history as we walked from one pub to the next. Great pubs! Great people! Great guide! Highly recommend!

Leeds Castle, Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Day Trip from London with Guided Cathedral Tour

Joshua_K, Oct 2026

Cameron and Ahmed are the GOATS of Evans Evans

Had the privilege of seeing the sights of Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and the Cliffs of Dover for a day tour. Cameron is well versed, fluently spoken like a trained Thespian and super cool guy, alongside Ahmed our driver. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the UK.

Original Harry Potter Locations Tour - Guided Tour of London

Kelly_D, Sep 2026

We had a great tour guide...

We had a great tour guide called Louis, and the tour ended up being just 2 of us because no one else booked that time slot! Louis was so kind and told us interesting facts about Harry Potter and London in general. It was so fun watching the movie clips on the iPad as he showed us each spot around the city. He went out of his way to show us places he mentioned the tour, too. We would definitely do this again!

Downton Abbey & Highclere Castle Tour from London, with Oxford

Virginie_P, Sep 2026

An incredible day

What can I say? This day was a moment of pure happiness. We discovered this magnificent city of Oxford, the village from Downton Abbey, and finally the wonderful Highclere Castle. With a special mention for our guide Eva, very friendly, cheerful, and our bus driver Carlos. I am very happy to have shared this day with my daughter. I therefore absolutely recommend it!!!

DAISY_C, Sep 2026

Amazing trip

We had a wonderful time on our Highclere Castle tour! A special thank you to Mike, our tour manager, for being friendly, knowledgeable, and well-organized. He made the day enjoyable and stress-free. Visiting Highclere Castle and Bampton Village was truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

Shared Group Downton Abbey and Highclere Castle Tour from London

Laura_P, Aug 2026

For Downton Abbey Fans Only

We had a great time on this tour. We made several stops to see filming locations throughout the journey so if you are not a fan of the show, you may be underwhelmed by this tour. The tour culminated in a self guided tour of Highclere which is set up exactly like it is in the show so again, fans will enjoy this. The only thing I would change would be the timing. I felt like this could include one more stop in the Cotswolds unrelated to Downton Abbey and just for sightseeing somewhere beautiful. We spent too much time in some locations.

Pub Crawl of Central London

edwardwindson, May 2026

It was fantastic

It was fantastic! Actually I'm not a party animal at all and I don't drink that often. but this was really fun, fun, good company and getting to know a lot of new people. really cool! I would definitely like to do it again. If you have good friends and are very sociable you will have a great day. They also sell non alcoholic beverages so you are not required to drink. Best also provide a bob because otherwise you will not get to the hotel or a taxi is always handy!

London by Night Bus Tour with Christmas Lights and Live Guide

Todd_B, Jan 2026

Emma was Amazing!

My wife and I booked this tour to see the Christmas lights but also gain some education about the building and history of the city. We’ve been to London almost 10 times but mainly follow our own tours. We were not disappointed! We learned quite a bit about the history, LOVED the lights and appreciated that Emma was able to wave some personal stories into her narrative. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone and will book if we’re back in London for the festive period in the future.
