Great your - Dan was very knowledgeable and gave great tidbits of information. Never waited for anything, timing of sights was great. Would definitely recommend.
We had such a wonderful experience on our walking tour with Owen! I went with my two sisters, and we had the best time. Owen was incredibly nice, personable, and made the entire tour feel so enjoyable and relaxed. He was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting stories and details about London.
It was such a fun way to explore the city and spend time together. We really enjoyed having Owen as our guide and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London! 🇬🇧🤍
Our guide was amazing! He was entertaining and informative - providing history, knowledge, insights etc but also inviting views from others. I thoroughly recommend a walking tour when visiting a new city. Helps you get the lay of the land and get to know your bearings.
Our guide was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience,
this was a great way to see the London Highlights
The tour was very informative, learned a lot from the tour guide. Visited lots of tourists spots in London 🙂
Wonderful tour. We really appreciated Owen! He has a wealth of knowledge and easily adapted our tour with tube hiccups.
I had a great time with our tour guide Nick. He was very informative and and enthusiastic. He surpassed our expectations. The long walk was bearable because of him. I learned a lot. I had so much fun that I look forward to seeing more of London on Sept. 9( I booked another tour with friend)
Incredible experience for my first day in London! Ariane was a wonderful guide with extreme knowledge of the history and areas we visited. I especially enjoyed the extended version with a smaller group which felt even more personalized. This tour checked everything off my London bucket list and more!
Fantastic. Should be the first thing you do when you arrive in london. The guide was informative and entertaining.
Great way to see a lot of sites in a short amount of time. We got in a lot of steps, but at a slow pace so it was wonderful way to experience London after a red eye flight. Our guide Nicholas was great. He was very knowledgeable and personable and the perfect way to start our trip.
Our guide Henry was knowledgable and friendly .He actually made some interesting comments about topics from participant's countries which I found very nice form him.
Despite the 5 hours long of this tour, it felt less time maybe because it was a lot to learn and enjoy.
I also wanted to thank the tour company because we missed our tour, which was 2 hours earlier, and they replied to all my messages and finally offered us to join the following tour which was guided by Henry. I was glad to take the 3:00 pm tour because the view of the Tower Bridge was amazing at the end of the tour around 8 pm.
Marvelous tour and the guide Lisa!
Started exactly on time, which does not usually happen with other providers and guides.
Fully satisfied ☺️
This is great interesting y good experience about information It was a lovely experience writing about the history, the events that unfolded, and the anticipation surrounding the Queen's arrival at the palace.
Try to get Ash as your Tour Guide. He’s very knowledgeable. He also has a great sense of humor. He made the tour it only informative but also enjoyable!
There was a lot of walking involved but worth every step ! Chris was a fantastic guide who added humor and shared a vast knowledge every location.
The tour was very informative and Sam was amazing with his knowledge. He was considerate of everyone. Would definitely recommend.
Will, our tour guide was wonderful. He was very informative and funny at the same time. He was able to show us the sites and knew where to take us as not to get smooshed with other tourists. Kept to our time, too. No minute spent idle. Yay, Will!!!
Nick is incredibly knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Conversations with him were very easy and he had great suggestions for food and other tours. 100% recommend his tour.
A very informative tour. Nick was extremely knowledgeable about each stop on the tour and really easy to talk to and also welcomed questions. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chris was a riot from the beginning. Very friendly and insightful. He provided great history and back ground of the locations while keeping it very light hearted and included some current events. Certainly a great way to tick off many of the landmarks and sights in London in a few hours. While the “5 hour” walk was intimidating at first Chris kept it at a casual pace and included plenty of stops for stories or coffee break.
While our guide was friendly and professional, I thought this tour was going to include some of the history of London, especially events during World War 2. Sadly, it was almost all focused on the Royal family; their homes, who they married, their reign and death. While this is part of England's history, not everyone wants it to be the focus of the tour. There were several missed opportunities to share information about London as we walked the streets. Our guide repeatedly stopped to show us an empty house that a Royal stays in occasionally, or whose family member owns, which is not what I expected. Due to our guide not letting us know exactly where we were going, she lost a family of four in the crowd as we made our way to the underground. They never rejoined the group.
I had another walking tour booked at less than half the price of this one, but the operator cancelled three days before we were to go and this was the only walking tour I could find on Viator. Due to the lack of London history, I felt this tour was very over priced. Maybe all the walking tours are like this, but I hope not. I wish I had just done a self guided tour, perhaps I would have learned more about London.
Our guide was amazing and it was easy to find the meeting place. Adam was very knowledgeable! We were tired after a long flight so although we were excited to get out and walk, we were certainly tired by the end.
Will was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and added humor along the way, which made for an enjoyable, fun tour of key spots in London. I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time, but want to see a number of sites, definitely worth your time.
Nathanial was an amazing tour guide, he was very knowledgeable & friendly. When we finished the tour I had no questions as he had given us all the information 😀
Very well done. You do see most of the popular sites. The short tube ride added to the experience. Very simple to use the tube. Nathaniel was a great guide and I would rank him as one of the best I’ve had over the years. He was extremely knowledgeable and was always looking out for members of the group in crowded areas. He is s five star guide.
Our tour guide Nathaniel was excellent. He was very educational and interesting with lots of sites to behold.
It was great. Thank you Jack for your knowledge, enthusiasm and the fun tour. We had an amazing time.
My 14 year old son and I really enjoyed everything we saw on this tour which covered almost everything you’d want to see in London. We used it to get fit for the rest of our time and learn what we’d like to investigate in more detail (this tour does not include entries to sites).
The highlight was our guide, Owen, who was knowledgeable, patient and quite funny. He’s more real person than polished professional, so it was more like being shown everything by a friend in town than some stranger checking boxes.
I’d recommend and especially if you can book with Owen.
Owen was a fun, entertaining guide. This tour gave us a great overview of Central London and taught us how to use the Tube. It was educational and enlightening. The walking was manageable, and we stopped for breaks.
Yes. Great way to get an overview of London. Good way to spend day one in London after an overnight flight to keep the body moving and mind learning.
