Freya, our guide, had a great personality and obviously loved showing tourists around the city. We enjoyed all the sites especially the gardens.
Oga_M, Jul 2026
I booked this tour months in advance and I should have looked more closely at the negative reviews. We got up early, paid for an Uber, and got to the meeting point 15 minutes early. Then we proceeded to stand there like idiots waiting for 45 minutes for a guide that never showed up. We tried reaching the company (Vox City International) with no avail. Then I was on the phone with someone from Viator for half an hour, and they also couldn’t reach the tour provider. Don’t even get me started about the ordeal to get a refund for a tour that never happened. Viator loves to take your money, but they sure are reluctant to give it back when they and/or their tour operators screw up.
Two days after the tour that never happened, Vox City said their guide became “unexpectedly ill” (insert eye roll here) and couldn’t do the tour. They had both my phone number and email address, but made no attempt to contact me. They just left my family and I standing around in the sweltering heat, waiting for a guide they knew wasn’t coming. It was so rude and unprofessional and it completely ruined our first day in London. I will never book with this company again. It’s not worth the risk when there are so many other companies to book with who would give the customer the simple courtesy of a phone call or message when a tour guide isn’t planning to show up.
And they must have a bus load of guides who suddenly fall “unexpectedly ill” because when I later looked at the reviews for this tour, there were a staggering number of reviews complaining that the guide just didn’t show up (without any communication whatsoever. No phone call, text message, email, smoke signal, carrier pigeon…). My recommendation — Don’t book this tour. Find one where at the very least the guides have the courtesy of showing up.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced. We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive early, wait at the meeting point, and not receive timely communication regarding the cancellation of your tour.
We sincerely apologize that you and your family were left waiting without the information you needed. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how this affected the start of your London visit.
We appreciate your patience while the refund process was handled and are sorry that the resolution could not make up for the inconvenience caused. Your feedback regarding communication and notification procedures has been shared with our team so we can review and improve our processes.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. We regret that we were unable to provide the experience you expected and hope to have the opportunity to offer a better experience in the future.
Kind regards,
VoxCity

I wish we would’ve seen more, but given the amount of time, I suppose that wasn’t possible. Brea was really nice and informative. I enjoyed the tour and would recommend it for just a little snippet of London.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Brea and found her informative and welcoming. London has so much to see, and while it's impossible to cover everything in a short tour, we're glad we could provide a memorable introduction and a great snapshot of the city. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for a longer exploration of London in the future!
Many thanks,

Ellen_B, Apr 2026
This tour covers lots of famous locations / buildings / landmarks -- and lots of territory. Be prepared to walk! But is was a great overview of the city and oriented us to everything, so that we could go back to our points of interest and explore more.

This was a terrific tour to give us a lay of the land in London and interesting information about different royal and historical locations. Freya was terrific - she kept the whole group engaged and got us to the changing of the horses at the perfect time. This was our last day in London and I wish we’d done it the first day!
