Our tour guide, Benedict was simply wonderful. He is a walking encyclopedia of history and is funny, theatrical and generally a wonderful person to spend 5 hours with. Great tour.
An outstanding overview of many of the highlights of London from Benedict, who had really interesting commentary throughout the tour!
Nick was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. He did an outstanding job especially with my sister in a wheelchair. And thanks to the gentleman who helped carry her up the stairs!!! We really enjoyed the tour. Super informative.
I booked thinking it was on a tour bus but was a walking tour which I did not want. My error but never saw walking tour.
Great experience. Here on family vacation. Learned a lot. Tour guide was very helpful. Would recommend
I booked this tour for my son who was visiting until his friend joined him later during his stay; my son enjoyed it tremendously and said he would visit the same places again when his friends arrives, but my personal 5-star is also for their support when my son, and some other people in the tour, became distracted and lost the guide for a few uncomfortable and embarrassing minutes, and through their customer support, quickly managed to receive their reply and phone for the guide, which helped my son and the other people continue with the group and enjoying the 4 to 5 hour tour. Well done.
Nicolas was an awesome tour guide and very knowledgeable! Wear your good walking shoes and bring a nice camera!
Tour was great. Be aware it’s 5 hours of walking but we had a beautiful day and saw lots of sites. Our tour guide Benedict was both informative and entertaining. He made the experience great.
Nicolas was fantastic. Lots of information and knowledge of history. Efficient use of time so we were shown most of essential London in one afternoon. Highly recommend especially if you can book Nicolas.
We really enjoyed this 5 mile walking tour. Our guide was very informative. This is perfect for first time visitors to get a nice overview of the city and to learn some history. The app should state how many miles this walking tour will be.
Tanya was a wonderful guide!!! She was so friendly and funny too! And so knowledgeable!!! She made our tour so much fun!!!
This local tour advertised as London’s Top 30 attractions showing with the red bus gives wrong impression that this is bus tour while it is a walking tour. All the attractions are nearby Buckingham palace and Trafalgar square which has around one Km distance. You have to buy tube ticket from Big Ben to Westminster which ideally should have been purchased by travel agent.It was total waste of money.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re sorry to hear that the tour description may have been misunderstood.
However, somewhat ironically, the points mentioned in this review actually describe the tour exactly as it is advertised:
Walking tour — yes.
Sights around Westminster and the London Bridge area — yes.
One Tube journey during the tour, with guests responsible for their own fare — also yes.
This experience is clearly advertised as a walking tour, not a bus tour. The presence of a red London bus in the promotional imagery does not mean it is a bus tour.
We always encourage guests to carefully read the tour description, inclusions, and exclusions before booking, as this helps ensure that the experience you choose matches your expectations.
In this case, the experience you described is essentially the experience that was booked and advertised.
Very informative. Lot of walking..well paced...guide was well educated and kept a lively friendly environment
Ari was knowledgeable, pleasant, and intelligent. She was very personable and took care to meet the needs of the entire group. Would love to go on another tour with her if we are ever back in town!
Great your - Dan was very knowledgeable and gave great tidbits of information. Never waited for anything, timing of sights was great. Would definitely recommend.
We had such a wonderful experience on our walking tour with Owen! I went with my two sisters, and we had the best time. Owen was incredibly nice, personable, and made the entire tour feel so enjoyable and relaxed. He was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting stories and details about London.
It was such a fun way to explore the city and spend time together. We really enjoyed having Owen as our guide and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London! 🇬🇧🤍
Our guide was amazing! He was entertaining and informative - providing history, knowledge, insights etc but also inviting views from others. I thoroughly recommend a walking tour when visiting a new city. Helps you get the lay of the land and get to know your bearings.
Our guide was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience,
this was a great way to see the London Highlights
The tour was very informative, learned a lot from the tour guide. Visited lots of tourists spots in London 🙂
Wonderful tour. We really appreciated Owen! He has a wealth of knowledge and easily adapted our tour with tube hiccups.
I had a great time with our tour guide Nick. He was very informative and and enthusiastic. He surpassed our expectations. The long walk was bearable because of him. I learned a lot. I had so much fun that I look forward to seeing more of London on Sept. 9( I booked another tour with friend)
Incredible experience for my first day in London! Ariane was a wonderful guide with extreme knowledge of the history and areas we visited. I especially enjoyed the extended version with a smaller group which felt even more personalized. This tour checked everything off my London bucket list and more!
Fantastic. Should be the first thing you do when you arrive in london. The guide was informative and entertaining.
Great way to see a lot of sites in a short amount of time. We got in a lot of steps, but at a slow pace so it was wonderful way to experience London after a red eye flight. Our guide Nicholas was great. He was very knowledgeable and personable and the perfect way to start our trip.
Our guide Henry was knowledgable and friendly .He actually made some interesting comments about topics from participant's countries which I found very nice form him.
Despite the 5 hours long of this tour, it felt less time maybe because it was a lot to learn and enjoy.
I also wanted to thank the tour company because we missed our tour, which was 2 hours earlier, and they replied to all my messages and finally offered us to join the following tour which was guided by Henry. I was glad to take the 3:00 pm tour because the view of the Tower Bridge was amazing at the end of the tour around 8 pm.
Marvelous tour and the guide Lisa!
Started exactly on time, which does not usually happen with other providers and guides.
Fully satisfied ☺️
This is great interesting y good experience about information It was a lovely experience writing about the history, the events that unfolded, and the anticipation surrounding the Queen's arrival at the palace.
Try to get Ash as your Tour Guide. He’s very knowledgeable. He also has a great sense of humor. He made the tour it only informative but also enjoyable!
There was a lot of walking involved but worth every step ! Chris was a fantastic guide who added humor and shared a vast knowledge every location.
The tour was very informative and Sam was amazing with his knowledge. He was considerate of everyone. Would definitely recommend.
