Amazing tour! The perfect way to start your trip. It definitely helps to see a lot in a short time. 7.5 miles walking.

Jennifer_W, Jul 2025

Highly recommend but if you are not used to walking this much it might be tough. Wear good shoes!! We saw so many things I never expected to. A fantastic way to hit all the icons in a relatively short time… we could have never done this on our own. Paul was amazing!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you! It was really good meeting you all and showing you around my city. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!

Paul was great.!!! Very...

Reginald_G, Jul 2025

Paul was great.!!! Very knowledgeable and relatable. It ended up being a private tour due to others canceling, however it worked out greatly. It’s about 3 hours walking so wear comfortable shoes.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks so much for the review! I'm happy you all enjoyed the walk and it was a pleasure to meet you guys. Enjoy the rest of your trip :)

A fun and informative trek with Paul!

Paul was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. Our three kids, ages 13, 11, and 7 adored Paul. We wish we could have taken him with us for the rest of our trip! I highly recommend Paul and hope to see him during our next visit to London!
