Judy_F, Aug 2026

A Visit to Westminster on foot

Paul was a wonderful guide as he took us through the sites of Westminster, including Parliament Square, Big Ben, Palace of Westminster, and the interior of Westminster Abbey. Paul shared his deep knowledge of the history, architectural details and luminaries buried there. He also pointed out the Supreme Court building and residencs of the Royals.. As a group we walked through Saint James's Park to Buckingham Palace. Paul had a great sense of humor. The meeting point of the iconic Sir Winston Churchill statue was easy to locate. The tour ended at the doorstep of Picadilly Circus. This tour is highly recommended.

Walking tour - Changing of the Guards, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, found us good spots to view the changing of the guards, very careful about ensuring no one in group got lost. The pace was good even for someone with mobility issues. Westminster Abbey was amazing but almost overwhelming; there is so much to see.

Viator provides exceptional service!

John was our tour guide. He was very charismatic and kept the tour laughing. He was very knowledgeable about where we needed to be and at what times to have the best experience and photo/video opportunities. This was our fourth tour using viator in three different countries. Every tour and guide we have been partnered with has been exceptional especially for the price.

Stonehenge & Bath Day Trip from London

Geoffrey_L, Jul 2026

Bus ride and self guided

This is a tour of 2 sites — Bath and Stonehenge. Without a doubt, both are must see sites. For your money, you basically get a ride. The rest is self guided. So I recommend that before your visit you read up about Bath and Stonehenge. This will greatly enhance your experience. The ride itself is fine. Pickup at the bus depot is organized and easy. The bus is comfortable

Fantastic and fun tour!

Our tour guide Ian Luck was absolutely brilliant and our driver Jack was safe and efficient! Ian knows so much about music and the music places in and around London. He took care of us at the Abbey Road crosswalk, was informative, and handed out little memorabilia to show and keep. You get more than your money's worth!

Definitely the tour for your first time to London

It was a very hot day in London, 32 deg Celsius. The guide for our group was Jack. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, never a dull moment on this tour. The tour was very informative and provide the necessary groundwork for further exploration. Jack works well with seniors as he had a couple of ladies dancing and singing.
