Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London)

Lorri_C, Apr 2026

Hard rock seats for the tall

If you drink a Guinness at the worlds oldest bar dating to 947 make sure you hit the bathrooms before getting on the bus home…lol This was a wonderful tour with Christian who made the tour with his knowledge and wit. We loved the 3 cities we visited within Cotswolds for their diversity and something for everyone from architecture to adorable shops, bars and restaurants! We highly recommend this tour and thank- you Christen for your amazing tidbits of information and sense of humor. Great choice of music… and don’t forget “Pope Joan” Lorri

London 30 Top Sights with Fun Local Guide

Leanne_C, Apr 2026

Truly a fantastic tour. ...

Truly a fantastic tour. This was not my first trip to London, but it was the first trip for my husband, sister and friends traveling with me. Nicolas was the BEST guide. He’s extremely knowledgeable and made the historical aspects of the tour interesting and informative. He did a great job of ensuring the entire group (about 14 people, including children) stayed together while we covered a huge area, and he made time to answer every question anyone might have. Nic also timed our tour perfectly - literally to the minute - so we could hear the chiming of the clock in Elizabeth Tower. Yes, it’s a lot of walking, but we saw and learned SO much. This is a perfect experience for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike. We highly recommend this tour - and highly recommend Nicolas as your guide!

Very well organized and our guide new her stuff. A lot of walking that some older people may find a little overwhelming. The tour met our objectives. One suggestion would be to provide a map or some sort of guide to where a Taxi could be picked up AFTER the tour.

The Changing of the Guard Tour and Buckingham Palace

Karen_J, Apr 2026

Don't miss this tour!

Angie was a great guide and we really enjoyed her commentary and expertise on getting us to the best viewing places for the Changing of the Guard. We got to witness the Sunday Parade which I recommend doing if you can. If you are someone who doesn't like to be in the middle of big crowds but still get a 10/10 view for these experiences, this tour is for you. I appreciated the fact that Angie was concerned about the crowds and space, as well as getting the best view to live the experience, that was refreshing.

London Eye Fast-Track Ticket

Deborah_B, Apr 2026

A tour guide during the ride would have made this wonderful ride even better. Otherwise it was great!

Even though we didn’t actually have a guide present at all, The London Eye was absolutely remarkable & wonderful with amazing views. However, it could have been even better if there had been a guide present to provide information about what we were viewing.

A tasty view of London

I've done many of these tours across the world and they never disappoint. Today's tour was with Paddy, who was a great tour guide by the London Bridge and Market. He is very knowledgeable of the city, restaurants to go to, including the West End, and overall very friendly and enjoyable to speak to. Once again, I have to highly recommend this tour.

Great introduction to the Cotswolds

Great small tour. We lucked out with the weather! All the stops were charming. Plenty of time to roam around the villages and towns. We had Megan as our tour guide and she was very informative and funny! Our driver Gary also took us through the scenic route! Bus was a bit tight on space but had chargers for phones which was great. All in all a great introduction to the Cotswolds!

Excellent walking tour

If you only do one thing in London, make it this walking tour with Eric. He brought the city to life in a way no guidebook ever could — weaving history, humour and hidden gems into every step with infectious enthusiasm. From iconic landmarks to tucked-away streets most tourists never find, Eric had a story for every corner that left us wanting more. His knowledge of London is extraordinary, his passion is unmatched, and his ability to make a group of strangers feel like old friends is a rare gift. Hands down the best way to experience this incredible city — Eric doesn’t just show you London, he makes you fall in love with it.

Westminster to Greenwich Sightseeing Thames Cruise in London

Heather_E, Apr 2026

Brilliant and Informative River Cruise

This river trip was amazing. The boat was clean , the staff friendly and there was a bar, snacks and toilets on board. We left on time so very efficient. But the best bit was the travel guide on board doing the commentary. Not only was it informative from a historical point of view but he was so funny and current with regard to taxes, prices of apartments etc etc. It was a First Class experience all round. Viator are our favourite company to book these tours. Recommend them and the Tour company 100%

Very good tour

Our guide Marvin was absolutely brilliant, he told stories with great intrigue and mystery. It was a cold, damp, rainy night and there were many really interesting facts that made you forget about the weather and the time passed quickly. The boat ride was good with drinks, snacks and toilets available on board. Highly recommend.

Secret Walking Tour of Central London

Beverley_L, Jun 2025

Great tour, extensive knowledge

Lee was a great tour guide - funny, friendly and very knowledgeable. We were a small party of 7, and the tour was both highly informative and personal. The tour gave us an essence of some of the secrets of the city, and sights we would easily miss if venturing on our own. Lee also offered recommendations of other things to do/see and places to eat during the tour. Definitely a fantastic tour and highly recommended.
