Great overview of London sights, especially the City. Eric was fun and entertaining, and did a great job explaining the sights and the history.
jennzanelli, Jul 2026
Great overview of London, especially beneficial in the beginning of our trip. We were running late (our flight was delayed) and they were so accommodating, provided us with an itinerary and approximate times of when/where to catch up with the group. Carolina was great!
Thao_T, Jul 2026
I don't know. Event was cancelled . And I have not heard from business as to whether or not rebooking was available or refund will be coming.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear Future Guests - This review has been left for the wrong company. The review is for a cruise booking where clearly our tour is a walking tour. For some bizarre reason Viator have chosen not to remove the review. Hopefully the guest will remove the review and post it to the correct company. For more information about our tour, or if you require any reassurance because of this review, please feel welcome to contact See The Sights Tours London and we'll be delighted to assist you :)

Thomas_W, Jul 2026
Adam was really informative and gave us lots of interesting history while making it fun...my 14 year old grandson really enjoyed it!
Lauren_F, Jul 2026
Great value for the money!! Saw so much of London and the tour guide was so nice, offering to take pictures for guests at the various locations. I had Carolina, she was amazing! Even gave me some insight into some things to do in London outside of just the tour and gave great food recommendations too!
Jamie_L, Jul 2026
This is a fantastic tour for seeing all the London highlights in a short amount of time. Our host was very knowledgeable about London history, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour. You’ll leave tired but with a full appreciation for London’s most important landmarks.
Gary_M, Jul 2026
The walking tour is at very reasonable pace and Carolina was always concerned with our safety crossing roads and keeping group together.
Nadia_P, Jun 2026
This tour is a fabulous way to learn more about London’s history and sites. Adam our guide was fantastic! His knowledge was outstanding and he ran the tour group very smoothly, despite the scorching heat. Can highly recommend walking the short distance to the pub, Traders Gate for the lunch break. Highly recommend this tour.
Bryan_S, Jun 2026
This was the best tour guide (Adam) we have had. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the area. 100% recommend. My wife and I were a little worried about the 5 hour walk but we had no issues.
Cecilia_M, Jun 2026
There is lots of walking but it was worth it. Eric was such a knowledgeable and passionate guide. The history was amazing.
Kirsty_B, Jun 2026
Adam was a fabulous guide, exceptional local knowledge and fun. We really enjoyed our tour, thank you
Jean_C, May 2026
We had a fantastic time with Adam as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable. The pace was excellent as we covered many interesting and fascinating sites. He showed us the best view of St Paul’s cathedral dome. The tour is also a really good value. Highly recommend this tour!
JoAnne_M, May 2026
This is the best way to see so many sites. Very informative. Matt has a vast knowledge of London. He pointed out and explained so many interesting sites. I highly recommend this tour.
jbixler74, May 2026
Carolina was a wonderful guide! First day in London, and she gave a great introduction to the city. Would definitely recommend
Park_W, May 2026
This tour is a great way to get introduced to the city’s main sights. The walking pace was comfortable and relaxed, and even during a heatwave, the experience remained enjoyable. Our guide, Matt, timed everything perfectly, making sure we reached each stop at the right moment while sharing interesting and helpful facts along the way.
Overall, it was a well-organized and informative tour that gave us a strong feel for the city. It is especially useful for anyone who wants to get their bearings and decide which areas they would like to return to and explore in more depth.
Julie_A, May 2026

We had the best time on our London sightseeing tour thanks to Adam! He’s incredibly informative, educational, and hilarious. Plus, the tour is very affordable, and he goes above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoys every moment. highly recommended
dave_b, May 2026
This was an excellent way to see London for the first time! Our tour guide Eric was fantastic! His knowledge and passion for London and its history really shined thru. He was quite thorough in his information, the walking was extensive but he made it very interesting and fun! I would highly recommend this tour--just make sure to wear comfortable shoes!!
Harry_T, May 2026
Great tour focusing on 2 hours in the City of London, a break for lunch at the Tower of London, and then another 2 hours in the Westminster area. You don't go into any sites but a detailed explanation about the history of each.
Jim_S, May 2026
Saw a lot of London in a short period of time. Matt was very knowledgeable on the area. He went the extra mile after the tour to make sure we got on the right tube back to our hotel.
tracy_h, Apr 2026
An highly informative tour but delivered with local knowledge and humour. One if the best walking tours I have done.,
Richard_S, Apr 2026
This was a great tour got to hit most of the highlights and landmarks of London that we wanted to see. The tour guide was very knowable and had a sense of humor. He did a great job answering questions both on history and current events.

gwwesterman, Apr 2026
I had been to London three times before trying a tour. Having a guided tour made all the difference and a magnitude more interesting. Adam did a wonderful job of telling stories about each of the sights . To me, the longer tour sure beats the 1 hr 15 min walking tours.
For this trip to London, I should have walked longer distances at home to prepare for the walking that I would be doing.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad that Adam’s storytelling made your fourth trip to London your most interesting one yet. We look forward to seeing you again at See The Sights Tours London.
Coreen_B, Apr 2026
Matt was an awesome travel guide. He was interesting to listen to and full of fun facts about London. I have done other types of tours but I definitely learned the most on this one. Definitely a great tour and I would do it again.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It’s wonderful to hear that Matt provided such a fun and fact-filled experience! We’re thrilled you’d do it all over again with See The Sights Tours London.
vandana_v, Apr 2026
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We are touched by your description of Eric’s enthusiasm and passion. Bringing the city to life is what we strive for at See The Sights Tours London, and we’re so glad you fell in love with the city!
Kirsten_F, Apr 2026
Matt did a great job. He ran on time and was courteous of our time. He shared a lot of information and was able to direct us in the way of quality avenues to spend our time and money while in London for a short time. I would recommend doing the tour on day 1 and the deciding how to spend the remainder of you time based on his recommendations and the things you see along the way. My son and I went back to a few locations that evening and back for entry the next day. It was an efficient tour and the pace was very manageable. Our kids (8 & 10) did well and managed to enjoy themselves and learn a lot as well. Thanks Matt!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for recommending us for Day 1 of a London trip! We’re so happy Matt’s recommendations helped you and your sons enjoy the rest of your stay. Best regards from See The Sights Tours London.
