What are people saying about London

London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision

Michelle_S, Oct 2026

Best Jack the Ripper Tour

Alan, our tour guide was phenomenal. His knowledge and expertise was absolutely off the charts. He walked us through the murders, the murder scenes, and the women who brutally died at the hands of Jack the Ripper. Clearly, Alan knows Whitechapel and the other areas of the murders better than anyone. He truly made this tour, one of my favorite London experiences.

London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs

Douglas_T, Oct 2026

Had a great experience!

This tour was recommended by a colleague. It was everything he said it would be. Our group was limited to 14 attendees, which was just the right size. The group included residents of the USA, England, and Australia. Freddie was our tour guide and took us to four pubs within easy walking distance. He provided historical information on each pub as well as sights along the way. We would highly recommend this tour.

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

Claude_A, Oct 2026

Great way to spend a day seeing some historic sites

We had a great day seeing and learning about the sites while also enjoying our tour guide Phil and his periodic history bites as we traveled to and from the locations. Even though some of the area traffic appeared chaotic, our driver Vinny did a great job keeping us safe and on schedule. It was a long day but we felt it was definitely worth it. Minimal walking with plenty of rest in between.

Stacy_L, Oct 2026

Best Tour of Our London Trip

Phil, our tour guide was the absolute best. His knowledge of British history and origins is impressive. Pat our driver, got us through the rain in traffic with the utmost care and skill. I felt we were in good hands! I’m so happy we chose this tour with Evans Evans!

Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour

Simone_B, Sep 2026

Brilliant tour, brilliant guide and a few very good drinks! 🍻🎶

Ben was an absolute cracker of a guide. He has a brilliant way of telling stories that draws you straight in. Before you know it, you’re back in old Soho, imagining the characters, the music, the mischief and everything that went on behind those pub doors! Ben also had some great recommendations for beers, ciders and gin, so obviously we had to do our research properly! 😂🍻 There was plenty of time at each pub to enjoy a drink, have a chat and soak up more of the history. We loved listening to Ben’s stories and chatting with the other people on the tour about their travels and experiences. It was informative without being boring, relaxed without feeling rushed and had just the right amount of drinking involved… although I’m sure Ben would call it “historical research” 😂 The tour completely exceeded our expectations. Ben was fantastic, Soho was fascinating and we had a bloody good time! Highly recommended! 🍻🎶🇬🇧

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

tonetonegf2, Sep 2026

A wonderfully planned...

A wonderfully planned full-day of sightseeing! A walking tour of Oxford gave a glimpse of a vibrant college town, which included a short time for wandering about or shopping. The small Bampton Village stop was picturesque, but was highlighted for Downton Abbey fans, particularly with filming locations observed. And, Highclere Castle offered just the right beauty and experience to end the day. The timing provided was enough, but who would not like to remain a bit longer to soak in the history and charm of such lavish sites.

Downton Abbey and Village Small Group Tour from London

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!

Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk

Teresa_H, Jun 2026

A sign from the dead!

Tom was a ton of fun and had great ghost stories! Along the way you hit amazing sites with Easter eggs of history that are very off the beaten path. The icing on the cake for our tour was that a London light drizzle during the unfortunate tale of Margaret Pole produced a rainbow over the Tower of London! (I’m sure ole Maggie was saying hey!!)

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.

London Christmas Carol & Charles Dickens Small Group Walking Tour

Colette_W, Dec 2025

Outstanding tour!

What a delightful tour. Richard was an outstanding guide and shared a wealth of information about Dickens and his life in London. A Christmas Carol came to life as he wove the story together with actual London sites. Great tour especially at Christmas time. The tour time was a bit longer than noted only because Richard took the time to stop if people on the tour needed a quick break or wanted to stop for photos at one of the iconic phonebooths. And the old church/now turned into a coffee house was quite an interesting place for a quick break as well as Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub! Highly recommend this tour for a most interesting tour of old London.
