What are people saying about London

JUSTIN_P, May 2026

Fun and Informative London Tour

Very fun tour and a great way to see so many parts of London in one day. The tour guide was amazing — very knowledgeable, energetic, and kept the group entertained the entire time. There was definitely a lot of walking, but it made the experience even better because we got to explore so many areas up close. Highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes!

Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London)

Caitlin_C, May 2026

Great day trip away from the chaos of London

Every town visited is cuter and more picturesque than the last and if you like antiquing make sure you’ve left extra spaces in your bags. Nigel made the day so smooth and informative and made sure to tweak the itinerary where he could for hidden treasures and more scenic routes while keeping us flawlessly on time the whole day. Highly recommend!

London in a Day: Tower of London, Westminster & River Cruise

Craig_V, May 2026

Comprehensive one day tour of London

Our tour guide was Linda. She was very friendly and engaging. She is a blue card holder so her knowledge was extensive. This is a walking tour and we covered probably 8000 steps over the course of the day. There were lots of stairs, so definitely not handicap friendly we spent the most time in Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. We could’ve spent even more time. We had lunch on Trafalgar Square at the admiralty. Linda had recommended this restaurant and it was well worth it. The fish and chips and meat pies were amazing. The boat ride on the river Thames was short that saved us a long walk between Parliament Square and the tower of London. You only have one day in London, this would be a great tour to hit most of the highlights.

Westminster Abbey Skip-the-Line Tour, Big Ben & Buckingham Palace

Michele_F, May 2026

Best Part of my trip to London

This tour was the highlight of my trip. Our tour guide, Natasha, shared so many details about the history of the Abbey. I had no idea there was so much history inside. She was so knowledgeable. About the history of the palace’s and the shops we visited. I would do this tour again with family and I would love to have Natasha as a tour guide again. I cannot recommend this strongly enough.

Wicked Westminster: The Original London Ghost walk

Jocelyn_C, Apr 2026

Good walking tour- great guide!

Murray was a fabulous guide. Super animated and friendly! This was a good tour. It was a good amount of walking so be prepared. We did the boat version and it’s the uber taxi which was neat to experience. It’s true there was no stories on the boat as it’s a public boat but it was nice to see the river and bridges at night. The stories were cool to hear and detailed. There was not a lot of talking in between stories which is something different from some other tours we’ve been on but Murray’s stories were very animated. It left me wanting to look up some more on them which is a good thing. Would recommend 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.

London Eye River Cruise

London Eye River Cruise Tour

Our London Eye River Cruise was the perfect start to our trip, and Mitch made it truly stand out. He was charming, knowledgeable, funny, and so helpful throughout, striking a great balance between informative and entertaining. It was a fantastic way to get acquainted with London, and we came away feeling excited and oriented for the rest of our visit. Would absolutely recommend!

London Sightseeing Walking Tour with 30+ sights

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.

Laurel_R, Apr 2026

Easy to use and see other...

Easy to use and see other parts of London. Nice boat tour and learned some fun facts about the areas. The boat workers were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend giving yourself enough time to enjoy the location if you are traveling with young children or elderly. If you walk slow you may not be able to get to your destination and back before the last boat. Overall it was a great tour and I would do it again.

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.
