What are people saying about London

VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet

Carol_M, Nov 2026

Take this tour!

Outstanding guide Cleve made the tour come alive. He encouraged questions, included everyone, and pointed out details that I would have missed on my own. Our group of six was able to take three tours while visiting London, all by this company. Their guides are outstanding.

London in WW2 Walking Tour with Churchill War Rooms Visit

Kristin_P, Nov 2026

WW2 and Churchill War Rooms

Our guide was Paul and he was outstanding. He has so much pride in England’s history and especially the role they played in WW2. We enjoyed his friendly nature and stories he shared about London during the war. The time we spent with him was perfect before we entered the Churchill War Rooms. I would highly recommend Paul as a guide and this tour in particular.

Denise_R, Nov 2026

I would definitely...

I would definitely recommend this tour! Our guide, Natasha, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, kept us engaged, and brought England’s history to life through her wonderful storytelling. Natasha could also be a photographer! She knew the best spots for photos and took excellent pictures of us. Our group even had about 15 minutes to ourselves in Westminster Abbey to explore and take photos, which was a special experience. She also offered great recommendations for places to visit while in England.

London Sightseeing Walking Tour with 30+ sights

John_T, Oct 2026

Excellent guide, great tour - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Nick was an energetic, entertaining, well-informed and well-prepared tour guide. Honestly one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced! And the tour itinerary was a perfect introduction to the main sites and attractions of London. Highly recommend this tour for any age. It is well paced but you must be prepared for 5 hours of walking (with stops and breaks).

London: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben & Changing of the Guards Tour

Becky_R, Oct 2026

Take this tour!

I wish that I could remember the name of our guide. He was amazing. He told us lots of interesting facts and tidbits about the Abby, King’s Guard, the Changing of the Guard, Talked about life at Buckingham Palace, High Grove, Windsor versus Clarence House. He walked us down Queen Ann’s street (which I would have never found on my own) and helped us envision what it was like in the 1700’s. Take this tour.

Fully Guided Tour of Warner Bros Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter

Culture45244489145, Oct 2026

Magical, engaging, an unforgettable experience

Truly unforgettable experience! The visit to the Warner Bros. studios was absolutely extraordinary and exceeded all my expectations. For any Harry Potter fan, this is a magical place, full of fascinating details about the making of the films, the original sets, the props, and the behind-the-scenes of one of the most iconic sagas of all time. The big highlight of the experience was, without a doubt, our guide. Showed impressive knowledge about the films, their production, and numerous curiosities that we would hardly discover on a self-guided visit. Your passion for the Harry Potter universe was contagious and made the entire visit more engaging, dynamic, and memorable. The organization was excellent, the pace of the visit was very well managed, and there was always an opportunity to appreciate each space and ask questions. I felt that every moment added value to the experience. I highly recommend this guided tour to all Harry Potter fans, as well as to those interested in the world of cinema and the behind-the-scenes of big productions. A unique experience that will remain in memory for many years. Thanks to our guide for making this visit truly special!

London: Buckingham Palace & Big Ben (& Westminster Abbey entry)

Jess_T, Sep 2026

Perfect to get highlights in a short period of time

Benedict was a travel guide. He was fun and made sure to keep track of everyone. I do wish that the tour guides could come into the Abbie with us to give us a little bit more of it more but we did get headsets and the self guided 35 minute walk around the Abbie who is more than enough. You could easily spend a lot more time in there with a tour guide though. We had 24 hours in London and going with a friend who had never been here this to see the highlights.

Early Access Tower of London: Crown Jewels and Beefeater Ceremony

Carolyn_K, Sep 2026

Organized early access

Early access is key to this experience. Our guide Natalie was well-informed. Without the early access I would have lost patience completely with ambling folks and school trips- sorry I don’t want to sound rude! But I was glad to get to see what I wanted to see with minimal cattle driving so to speak. Like our tour Natalie said- the Tower was a prison but a “VIP prison”, and those of us on the early tour did line up a little like cattle for the opening drill, but “VIP cattle” lol (there really was no wait and hardly a line). I really enjoyed the humor and story telling, and the fact that after we got in and saw the opening ceremony, we could break off and do our own touring at our own pace. Overall a good choice and I’m glad I booked it and it’s worth getting up early to get there on time. We were staying in Kensington near Kensington Palace. I booked a cab for 7am on Gett, and we arrived at about 0735, plenty of time to have a coffee and pastry before the tour met at 815. Set the tone for a great day and we saw a lot at the Tower.

St Paul's Cathedral Admission Ticket

paolopQ4961SR, Sep 2026

MY CATHEDRAL

St. Paul's Cathedral in London is unmissable. The variety of monuments, the grandeur of the works, the organization, the richness of the testimonies of the past, from all historical eras, are striking. Unique place, also used for films and documentaries. The climb to the dome is tiring but necessary. The crypt is huge and fantastic, a real underground church within the church.

Downton Abbey and Village Small Group Tour from London

Chris_L, Aug 2026

Fun day exploring the world of Downton Abbey

Rory was a great guide and it was easy to find the meetup spot and him. We headed out to Brampton and Rory provided lots of interesting info on the way out. Once there he led us around and showed where many of the exterior shots were done...as we were standing on the exact location. Then it was on to Highclere Castle, which was excellent. We had plenty of time for self-exploration with a handout, and there are guides in each of the rooms as well. It was amazing to be standing there where so many memorable scenes from the show were filmed. It was a great day. Quick note on the driving- the road portions from London to Brampton, Brampton to Highclere, and Highclere back to London were all about 1-1.5 hours each, so you may want to bring something to read or listen do during the bus rides.
