Great walking tour. Took the tube once and it was very easy. Stops are rather short 15 mins but that’s enough time to do what you need and move on. Jack was our guide and he had an amazing and had a wonderfully disposition and was very knowledgeable about the area.

This tour was great! I loved everything about it. Our tour guide, Jason was FANTASTIC! He was very knowledgeable, provided a lot of information, clear instructions, and he was very funny. I highly recommend this tour and Jason, as the tour guide.

This was a great tour. Ashley our guide was friendly very knowledgeable and informative. Coming from Australia is was a great experience to see so many places and hear about their history. We were lucky enough to see King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
Kris_P, Mar 2026
Tour guide, Tanya, was a pro! Very knowledgeable about history and politics. And flexible with our group. We enjoyed it very much.
Allison_P, Mar 2026
A fun and informative walk around the streets of London. We saw everything that one visiting the city should in a about five hours. Our tour guide, Nathaniel, was awesome! This tour is a London must do!
Lynn_H, Mar 2026
5 hours of continuous walking. It would be nice if there were a few stops with places to sit. Guide was very good and I learned a lot GB history.
Diane_P, Mar 2026
The guide was great but it was not made explicit on the booking that we would not enter the places that we went to for example Buckingham palace, Tower of London, Westminster Abby etc,...
Corinne_d, Mar 2026
Excellent way to see many sights in a short amount of time. Nicholas was a fantastic guide throughout.
Shanita_R, Mar 2026
Tanya was amazing and made this tour such a fun and memorable experience. We saw so many amazing landmarks and learned so much about the history of London. I never could have seen and learned so much without this tour. This tour requires a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and depending on the time of year wear proper clothing. Since we went in March, it was quite cold. We ended our tour at Borough Market Kitchen and boy did we have a time! The entire experience was so worth it and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to see and learn about some of London's history.
Bill_L, Mar 2026
Great tour. The tour was extensive, informative and so much fun. Boy did we see everything. And Tanya, our guide was outstanding. We have done many many tours and Tanya was one of the best guides we have encountered. She was so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining.
Andrew_S, Mar 2026
This tour was full of sightseeing and history. Never thought we would get to see so much in half of a day. From Buckingham palace to Westminster Abbey we saw so much. St. James park was the family favorite.
Ruth_M, Mar 2026
We were only staying in London for two days; this tour allowed you to visit and know the history of London landmarks. Talya was knowledgeable, funny, and cared for our group. Highly recommended!
Liz_H, Mar 2026
This walking tour is always THE best way to learn about the history of London, see sights and get tips about travelling through the city. Adrian was such an amazing tour guide - knowledgeable, witty, personable. This was my second such tour through London and each time they just get better and better!
Rhonda_M, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was Nathaniel and he was a great tour guide. Very fun and upbeat. He watched out over us, ex: he was looking for the late comers and made them feel welcome.
He also was right on top of it when I noticed a pickpocket trying to join our group.
Very helpful in every way.
Candace_M, Mar 2026
Nathaniel is superb. Deep knowledge of London, sights, and answered any and all questions thrown at him.
valerie_s, Mar 2026
Handsome Chris, our tour guide was not only informative, but cheeky funny and made the tour enjoyable. I will say he was also accommodating to us late people (our taxi took us the long way to the meeting spot). We fully enjoyed the tour! Would definitely recommend.
Ebony_N, Mar 2026
Brandon was super nice and friendly he made the experience really nice and was very knowledgeable. We were late and still managed to catch up to the group
Stephanie_V, Mar 2026
First off - the company is amazing and let us change our day very late after our flight was delayed and we missed our original time.
Then we loved the tour- our guide Nathanial was very knowledgeable and humorous. It covers alot of sights and we loved the historical and modern facts he gave us. The city of London has so many great landmarks and with this tour you get to see a lot.
It’s a great tour for your first day because you get a lay of the land- but the tour does not go into any landmarks and you don't necessarily get up close to all- but its great to plan out what you want to see more of on the rest of your trip.
Kelli_S, Mar 2026
Ash was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and made touring around London an all around fun time! Would highly recommend :)
Daniel_G, Feb 2026

Sven_D, Feb 2026
Adrian was the perfect London tour guide. Great tour of the London sights with detailed info and fun facts. All of that delivered in a fun and animated way. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect even despite really heavy rain . Our guide did an amazing job, was extremely helpful and friendly.
Heidi_L, Feb 2026
Our tour was fabulous. Will, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and quite funny. Highly recommend the tour especially early in your trip for an introduction to the city.
Rohit_V, Feb 2026
Great experience walking all over London. Covering some must-do landmarks and learning about the history with a fair bit of English humor mixed. Would highly recommend this trip to anybody who is visiting London for the first time.
Yadiel_N, Feb 2026
Benedict gives us a tour that felt like a vip glimpse into London history. The tour was spectacular with the highlights you would expect and more. The pace was excellent and the knowledge from Benedict was top notch. Highly recommended if you want a great overview of the sights near the palace.
Jamie_S, Feb 2026
Dan was absolutely fantastic! This was easily the longest walking tour I’ve ever done (around 6 hours) but Dan’s energy never wavered. Even toward the end, when the rest of the group was starting to wear down, he was just as enthusiastic and engaging as he was in the first ten minutes. It’s a lot of ground to cover, but he made every stop interesting with great stories and local insights. The tour was definitely worth every penny for anyone looking to see the best of London in one go.
Jodie_M, Feb 2026
Dan was absolutely wonderful and incredibly thorough. At each site, he shared the history along with relevant present-day details, bringing everything to life. He made the information fun, engaging, and easy to enjoy.
Krysten_C, Jan 2026
Tour guide did not show up and did not respond in the app. Had to book with BIG BUS TOURS LONDON. had a guide onsite and was immensely helpful. Highly recommend them instead.
