What are people saying about London

Kris_W, Jun 2026

This tour had a small...

This tour had a small amount of people which made it easier to hear the history of the historic spots and to be entertained by our tour guide Owen’s corny jokes. That made the trip, honestly. Owen is knowledgeable of his history and was eager to show off his city while entertaining us. I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.

Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Guided Tour of London

Oluwadamilola_C, Jun 2026

Great Experience

It was an awesome experience. First of all, I arrived at the first tour late as a I had just arrived in London that morning. Between the tour guide Dan and the viator office, I was guided to find the tour group at the first location. I'm just grateful, it was an overall awesome tour experience.

Westminster to Greenwich Sightseeing Thames Cruise in London

Kristen_P, Jun 2026

Worth it!

I considered skipping this activity while visiting London; I’m so glad I didn’t! The boat ride was very relaxing and the views were amazing. I recommend planning to spend the afternoon in Greenwich if booking this ride…I didn’t have enough time to stick around but it looked gorgeous in that area.

Medieval History Walking Tour from The Tower of London

Luke_P, Jun 2026

Just book it! Amazing tour!

Mick was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He deserves to be at the top spot! If we’d had more time we would have checked out his Jack the Ripper tour. Pretty sure we’ll be crediting him with all the photos on our holiday card this year too. Highly recommend!! One tip: Viator said the meeting point was about 25min away from the real meeting point, which is Tower Hill Tube Station by the burger kiosk. I recommend checking with Mick on WhatsApp before the tour to confirm the meeting location.

This was a very enjoyable tour! Our guide, Gary, arrived promptly and was easy to find. He had great enthusiasm for the food and beverage pairings and was very informative with a great sense of humor. The tour was comfortably paced and all of the food selections were delicious! I would highly recommend this food tour of the Borough Market!

She even timed things so perfectly that we were the first group in the Abby (incredibly special moment) and we got to see changing of guards

Fantastic SoHo Pub and Rock and Roll Tour!

I have traveled extensively and taken hundreds of tours. This Pub and Rock and Roll tour with Ben ranks among the top 3 tours ever. Ben was not only an excellent tour guide but it felt as though the entire tour was a total production featuring his vast knowledge of SoHo and Rock and Roll history. He projects like an actor so, don’t worry if you have a significant hearing loss, you will hear him loud and clear and with much passion and enthusiasm! I would do this tour again if I knew Ben was guaranteed to be the guide. And the pubs, beer offerings and gin options were perfect! Thank you Ben for a memorable afternoon!!

The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour

Nigel_F, May 2026

Every Street Tells A Story

I had two good friends from America visit and like me they are huge music fans. I wanted to take them out for the day and the obvious choice was to do something music related so I decided on this tour. It was fabulous, so informative and such fun. Our guide, Tom was brilliant in respect of his knowledge and his natural ability to put the knowledge across to us. I have lived in a London suburb all my life and so many of the sites we visited I have been to in my formative years. Plus I worked in Beak Street Soho for a few years so it was quite nostalgic for me. Steve and Selina loved it as did I. The walk helped me achieve my objective of giving my friends a day to remember.

London's Palaces & Parliament Tour (See Over 20+ London Top Sights)

Rebecca_B, May 2026

Great tour and tour guide!

Our walking tour around London was fantastic! We passed through so many iconic areas including St James's Park, the Palace of Westminster / Parliament area, and Trafalgar Square. Lisa was an excellent tour guide — she made the entire 3-hour tour so fun and engaging with tons of interesting stories and history along the way. You could tell she really enjoys what she does, and that made the experience even better. That said, definitely keep in mind that this is a true walking tour. My feet were hurting during the tour, and I really had to push through by the end. I wore comfortable shoes, but honestly I should have worn supportive walking sneakers instead. To be fair, I had already spent the first half of the day walking around museums and getting there, so my feet were already tired before the tour even started. Also, the weather was HOT — apparently London even broke a May temperature record today! I’m from Miami, and somehow it felt hotter in London than back home… go figure 😂. Thankfully, we did get a few chances to cool off during the tour. If you’re active and enjoy walking, I absolutely recommend this tour. But if you’re visiting London during a heat wave or aren’t used to walking long distances in warm weather, you may want to consider something lighter like a river cruise instead. Overall though, I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend Lisa as a guide!

Secret Walking Tour of Central London

Secret London 2025

We travel to London often, but had not seen the areas or heard the history behind them of the places that were covered during the tour. Our guide was well-informed and articulate. It was a hot day, and Paul was thoughtful and careful about keeping us in the shade and giving us the opportunity to get water.
