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.
Heather_D, Apr 2026
We did this tour our first day in London. It was a great overview of a city and way to choose which sites we’d like to learn more about. I can’t say enough about Matt, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re delighted that Matt provided such a knowledgeable and kind introduction to the city. Thank you for choosing See The Sights Tours London for your first day!
Eddie_C, Apr 2026
Eric is amazing so knowledgeable, warm, fun, well spoken, and prompt. It was almost impossible to stump him with my questions. Please tip him well. We had an amazing tour with him we dis the tour on day 3 of our stay and he gave us an excellent lay of the land and history and culture of London. By faaaar the. Est value of our trip I cannot recommend it enough. Ask.eric about the first and second most important cats in London! Best tour ever!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It sounds like you had a blast with Eric! We’ll be sure to tell him to keep sharing those stories about London’s most important parts. Thank you for supporting See The Sights Tours London.
Damion_M, Apr 2026
Exceptional experience. Matt was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour for any first timer in London.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so pleased that Matt made your first visit to London an exceptional one. We hope to welcome you back to See The Sights Tours London soon!
Mei_Y, Apr 2026
Matt was a wonderful tourguide with lots of tidbits. Enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend to other family and friends. We initially thought 5 hours was going to be too long, but the tour was broken down into the city part (starting with St. Paul cathedral), followed by a 45 minute lunch near the Tower of London before heading west on the tube to Westminster Abbey, so it is definitely manageable for kids too.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for such a wonderful review! We're so glad that you and your children had a great time with us. The 5 hours does fly by! The lunch is a great spot too! We hope to see you at See The Sights Tours London again soon!
Steven_P, Apr 2026
This walking tour was worth the experience. Our guide, Matt, was knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. We saw London highlights that maybe we would have missed on our own. Be prepared for the physical walk that was long but fairly easy. The tour was well worth the expense and was a valued experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re glad you found the tour to be of excellent value. Thank you for highlighting Matt’s expertise and choosing See The Sights Tours London.
Michael_M, Mar 2026
Great tour with lots of history. Adam was fantastic. Lots of walking so you will need comfortable shoes
Prashanti_L, Mar 2026
Matt was amazing guide. He is knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. It didn’t feel like a long walking.
Sarah_K, Mar 2026
Great tour with Matt! The five hours goes by fast and there are plenty of opportunities for pictures. Highly recommend!
Margaret_G, Mar 2026
Great experience! Matt gave a very informative and interesting tour, and we also got to see the King and Queen of England from a few feet away! Thank you Matt!
Paul_E, Mar 2026
Great way to see the key landmarks of London in one easy paced tour. Five hours was well managed and not overwhelming
Trent_S, Mar 2026
This tour provides a great overview of all the London major sights. Our tour guide Matt was very knowledgeable made it an incredible experience. Don’t be worried about the five hours. Matt took us at a very comfortable pace and the time flew by.
Sophia_P, Mar 2026
From the initial greeting of Matt and his enthusiasm we knew he would be great. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to all the famous tourist spots. He answered all our questions. He took us to the Clarence house and we were able to see Princess Anne, King Charles and Queen Camilla as they departed the Clarence House. This was definitely the icing on the cake to then end the tour at Buckingham Palace.
Matt_P, Mar 2026
We had Matt for our tour and he did an amazing job! He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He always made sure we had time to get pictures. My girlfriend and I learned so much from this tour and it was a highlight of our trip! Thank you, Matt!
PATRICIA_R, Feb 2026
Matt was such a wonderful guide. Informative but made it fun. 5 hours flew by. If you want to get an overview its a great tour.
Meaghann_P, Feb 2026
This was the best tour we've ever taken. When you book things online with so many different options, even though the reviews are good, you want the best possible. I say this because I haven't always agreed with the good reviews as I have gotten some tour guides that didn't meet my expectations. Mike our tour guide did the best job. He offered from the very beginning to take pictures for all of us so we didn't feel uncomfortable asking him to do so. He went around and had us all introduce ourselves which made us more comfortable in
interacting to other people with us. Mike was so good about remembering all our first names, where we were from, he asked us questions about other things we had planned for our trip and helped us tweek our itenaries so we got the best experience with whatever our time frames may have been while here. And we did tweek our plans and had the best time in London. I just can't say enough about how great he was!! I would suggest this tour at the beginning of your trip as he took us places that we could right away mark off our list and fill in those gaps with other sites to see. I was so amazed that we could spend over 5 hours with a guide and the price was too low in my opinion. I told him they should charge more like other tours but his answer was they want to give a good tour and provide great value for our money. He succeeded!! We will rebook again when we return to London. Thank you Mike.

Bismy_J, Feb 2026
Really good experience - being such a big city we still managed to walk and take pictures of many iconic locations and less known places around London
Kim_A, Dec 2025
Long day BUT your was great! Lots of very intersecting historical information- we hit every spot including pelicans ! Guide was very knowledgable!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for the great review despite the long day! We're so pleased Adam packed in lots of fascinating historical information, hit every spot (including those famous pelicans!), and shared his deep knowledge in such an engaging way. We're glad it made the full experience worthwhile — hope to welcome you back for another big day of discovery soon!

Jennifer_L, Dec 2025
Our guide, Carolina, was very informative and fun. I can't believe how many things we saw and I loved that she took us to some spots that most visitors probably walk right by and miss completely. She took as many photos as we wanted/needed and provided tips for accessing key attractions and where to eat in the city.
The tour included a 1 hr break for lunch at a location with many different options and incredible views.
We did take the underground transit network to get to Westminster after lunch but it was super easy and Carolina did a great job of keeping us all together.
One thing to note is that the tour ends at a different location than where it started, although everything is not too far away, this is important if you are planning activities after the tour.
I recommend doing this tour early in your stay in London, as it does not include admission to any sites, but will give you a good idea about where you may want to return to explore further. Additionally, our guide provided tips about how to get tickets and what is included with each site admission.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive review! We're thrilled Carolina made the 5-hour tour so enjoyable — highlighting those often-missed gems, snapping all the photos you needed, sharing practical tips for attractions and dining, and organizing that welcome 1-hour lunch break with stunning views. The easy Tube ride to Westminster and keeping the group together are all part of the fun! Great tip about booking early in your stay too. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries soon!
Best regards,
See The Sights Tours London
Linda_M, Dec 2025
This walking tour is definitely worth it but also, incredibly long.
I had Caroline as our guide, not a big group, and she kept a comfortable pace. She has a lot of knowledge and insight on the city of London. Its a great way to see the city. Plus the lunch break was most welcome.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad you found the long but worthwhile tour fantastic with Caroline — her knowledge, comfortable pace, small group vibe, and that much-appreciated lunch break made it special. And yes, comfy shoes are definitely the way to go for these wonderful 5 hour tours! Highly recommend right back — hope to see you again soon!
