Nick was knowledgeable, kind, and entertaining. We had a lot of fun. We saw so much and more in London and I was so glad.

Benedict was a great guide! Right from the start he made everyone feel welcome. He was funny, thoughtful and full of knowledge. We covered a lot of ground but never felt rushed. The whole experience was exactly what we wanted and we saw the queen drive by near Buckingham Palace!
Madison_P, Jun 2026
Ari was an amazing tour guide! She took us through the bursts of rain to see all the major sights, knew the best photo spots, and shared so much knowledge about London. She was personable, engaging, and made this a great way to start my trip. Highly recommend!
Megan_G, Jun 2026
Great experience and learned so much!! Dan is a very good tour guide and gives you so much history and information about the sites you see. Bring a good pair of walking shoes because it’s a ton of walking.
Theresa_L, Jun 2026
Benedict was a great guide with lots of information about history and stories about what we were seeing. Pace was good, guide easy to understand, ask questions and get immediate answers, and add pertinent current events to the tour. He gave great help and advice in navigating around London.

Great way to see London and learn about the history of this beautiful town.
Small group and very knowledgeable and fun guide .
Kevin_G, May 2026
I loved this tour. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go on a walking tour but this one went beyond my expectations. Nicolas our tour guide was very knowledgeable and showed us many things we would have missed without him. He was kind and conscious of the heat making everyone feel comfortable. This tour is not to be missed!
Joe_G, May 2026
We thought this was a bus tour, according to the picture advertisement. It turned out to be a walking tour. The ad should be more clear.
Tracy_D, May 2026
If you just don’t want to see the sights, but learn more about them, and even learn some more unique facts that are not “googable “, this is the tour for you! Our tour guide Nicholas was awesome! Engaging, fun, and personable! What more could you ask for! Be prepared to walk, though!
Kimberle_B, May 2026
It’s worthwhile but a lot of walking. We did not use the tube at all.
Our guide Nickolas was very good
Gretchen_B, May 2026
Excellent guide, lots of knowledge and insight. It was hot day but our tour kept us in the shade. Well done.
Jennifer_W, May 2026
Young Nic was amazing, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a 33 degree day but Nic made sure everyone was hydrated and all his charges accounted for!! Great tour!! Greater Guide!!!!
Omaira_K, May 2026
Owen was a great tour guest! Very detailed, accommodating, and had the best personality. Thanks for the special care and patience provided to our group during the excessive crowds exploring holiday events while we were touring. Owen took extra care in ensuring the visiting guest were good on directions prior to departing. Hope to catch him on another tour next visit to London. As a regular Viator client, another wonderful experience.
Kristi_S, May 2026
I almost didn't go on this tour but I'm so happy I did. Dan is a wonderful historian on everything London, making the tour outstanding!
Andrea_C, May 2026
Our guide Nicholas was a wealth of information! We learned so much about London and its history - even though we thought we knew a lot already. Be ready to walk a lot and bring water. You will be amazed at all of the secret nooks and crannies of facts on this wonderful and revealing walking tour!
Fred_F, May 2026
Benedict was awesome! He was informative and funny. When the Changing of the Guard changed location he hurried to find updated information and get us in position to see it just in time. I would highly recommend Benedict and this tour.
jim_n, May 2026
Benedict, our guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and had such a wonderful sense of humor. We would easily ask for any tour that he provided.
Jennifer_C, May 2026
This is a great way to get a quick overview of top sights in London and get your steps in. You see some of the top sights outside. We did this the day we arrived in London. No rest for the weary. We hit the trail walking.
Alexander_Y, May 2026
We were on the fence about booking a walking tour of London, but Chris made our experience unforgettable. He was humorous, very knowledgeable about the city and its history, as well as an overall fun person. Thanks for a great tour!
Dijon_N, May 2026
Jason was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny/ witty. He was friendly and really showed us the history of the city. 10/10 recommend
Angelia_D, May 2026
You need to be ready to do a lot of walking at a good pace. The guide provides great insight into the tour.
Lisa_R, May 2026
What a great day! Ash was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly! I would highly recommend this tour. Lots of walking! You hear all the back stories of the places you see along the walk. Nearly 13,000 steps for the 5 hours.
Andrea_H, May 2026
Henry was very informative. We took the 5 hour tour and he kept it moving at a very comfortable pace. We saw so many sites! Definitely recommend this tour.

Will was great knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Enjoyed our experience! Worth the time and money spent!
Joseph_M, May 2026
Our Guide, Benedict was amazing. He was informative, funny and patient. We saw lots of the city. A beautiful city with so much history. T
A lot of walking and stairs. Depending on day you may face heavy tourist traffic.
Kristine_C, May 2026
Our guide Ariana was wonderful! We lucked out that the opening day of Parliament was our tour day. Ariana knew the schedule and we got to see King Charles and Camilla not once but 3 times as they passed. Ari was informative, friendly, and easy to follow. The walking was not too stressful and we did take a break for snacks and the bathroom. I would highly recommend.
Nicole_R, May 2026
Connor was AMAZING!! He has extensive knowledge of London and its history!! If you tour, ask for Connor
Julie_H, May 2026
We loved this tour. Connor was a great guide. He told fascinating stories. We saw all kinds of things. His timing was perfect at Buckingham Palace. We got to see the horses come by. We also had perfect timing to listen to Big Ben. He knew the perfect spots to take photos and perfect spots and timing for restroom and snack breaks, too. We only had ten people on our tour which was the perfect size. I highly recommend this tour.
Erin_A, May 2026
We read "five hour walking tour" and weren't sure we were up for that it but it checked all the boxes on the must see sights which would give us an efficient way to see London. What a surprise! This was perfect in every way. Brandon made a great tour guide, provided us opportunities to take breaks, eat our lunch and get all the pictures we wanted at each site. It was informative and entertaining with a relaxed vibe. My TEENAGER said it was the best tour she's gone on yet (and we travel a lot). Thank you!
JUSTIN_P, May 2026
Very fun tour and a great way to see so many parts of London in one day. The tour guide was amazing — very knowledgeable, energetic, and kept the group entertained the entire time. There was definitely a lot of walking, but it made the experience even better because we got to explore so many areas up close. Highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes!
