What are people saying about London

David_R, Aug 2026

Seeing the Buckingham...

Seeing the Buckingham Palace Staterooms is worth every penny. The tour is well-managed and the staff are very friendly and informative. Our tour leader, Bob, gave us a fact-filled, enjoyable introduction to London and the Palace during our walk along the Mall.

Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London)

YiWen_L, Aug 2026

My husband and I really...

My husband and I really enjoyed this small group Cotswolds tour. It was the only one we found that visited 4 villages in a single day, with a good amount of time at each. Liam, our tour guide and driver, was a fountain of information. He has a very easy and entertaining way to impart his knowledge. We learned a lot, enjoyed his superb playlist along the way, and felt very safe and comfortable in the van we traveled in. We definitely want to take another tour with Go Tours UK when we're back in the area.

The Changing of the Guard Tour and Buckingham Palace

Emily_C, Aug 2026

Perfect walking tour - informative and funny guide John

Fabulous walking tour with a wonderfully informative guide. He knew the perfect vantage points and even snuck us around a sideway through the park to watch them directly in front of us like 3 feet away walking Back to their residence’s area where they did a performance that wasn’t part of the regular changing of the guards. We were the only group over there! That’s not always guaranteed they do that but we got lucky. I did the Sunday tour so it’s a whole parade. I thought it was fantastic. We walked through there, through the beautiful parks, over to the clock (Big Ben) and Westminster Abby and down the street with many famous political type buildings. He explained the history everywhere and of the people and places all along the way. Having done other tours in London on the same trip we learned a lot of facts so we had no idea about. Also a personable and funny tour guide, John, which makes it go well. Easy to find with a flag that even had history. Location was easy to find in the park right next to a coffee and pastry place. We Uber directly there so I can’t comment on public transportation options, and the ease of that but it appeared there was a lot of stations right nearby. Would definitely book with them again. John was lovely.

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

Helen_C, Aug 2026

Excellent historical tour

It was a fair amount of walking, three and a half hours, but well worth the tour. Adrian our guide was so considerate of all the participants, with varying levels of walkability. He allowed for that extra half hour just so we would be able to fully gain all aspects of historical data and fun trivia. Having individual earpiece radios was key, as many places were crowded and noisy. Adrian guided us to an ideal spot to see the Changing of the Guards. Highly recommend this tour for those who can walk for three hours and have an interest in British history.

The Premier Classic London: Private Sightseeing Tour by Black Cab

Rhonda_D, Aug 2026

First London Visit

This was an awesome tour of London with Daniel, who did a great job of showing us his city. Going on a Sunday morning was a great choice because there was less traffic. Loved seeing all the buildings and monuments around the area. Daniel was very receptive to our needs and took good care of me and my 89 year old mother.

London Bridge & Borough Market Food Tour with 7 Must-Do Tastings

Nikki_W, Aug 2026

Absolutely time and money well spent!

This Secret Food Tour was so worth the time and money! Anna was a fabulous tour guide with so much knowledge about the history of London and Borough Market. It actually helped me appreciate the food even more knowing so much about it! Our group was 8 people in total and felt like the perfect size! We were sad when it ended!

Lunch River Cruise on the Thames with 2-Course Meal

John_R, Aug 2026

Lovely way to see London without the traffic!

Easy to get to, next to the Tower of London. The seats are pre-assigned. Some folks were greeted with drinks so look for a VIP package if you'd like that. All tables had great views. The lunch was delicious and we saw all the sites advertised. The only downside was my wife's expensive sunglasses "disappeared" during the meal so bear in mind you're in a "public" area.

Great tour - definitely recommend

Bettina was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and provided a good balance of what happened to who and when at various places around the tour. Just the right length too and walking pace. We will definitely be recommending this trip to our friends. Thank you Bettina and Viator.

Cotswolds Day Trip from London with Optional Village Lunch

Katherine_S, Aug 2026

A Pleasant Day!!!

Derek (tour guide) and George (driver), these gentleman furnished us with a very enjoyable day in a lovely area of the country. Derek’s knowledge of the area was complete. His narration provided historical detail and the up to date status of the villages visited and the surrounding area. My wife and I have discussed calling Derek a walking volume of the Encyclopedia Britainica. We thank him. George proved himself very competent in a very difficult profession. We felt completely safe and confident with George behind the wheel. We thank him.
