Our guide Dave was everything we hoped for. Knowledge and considerate of our needs. What a great day!!
Kelly_W, Jul 2026
We loved our private city tour of London. We got to see most of the major attractions in one day without having to walk for miles. We had a party of 5 with one person with limited mobility, so this was the perfect tour. Our tour guide, Sean, was knowledge and interesting.
Shari_S, Jul 2026
Fantastic! We had a limited amount of time in London, so wanted to see as much as possible. We took the 6 hour tour and more than got our money’s worth! Our tour guide, Terry was amazing, with his knowledge of history and stories! I am a fan of British history and wow, he was a pro! He was extremely polite and energetic! There was never a dull moment. Tour was completely customizable. Highly recommend!
Tracy_F, Jul 2026
Patrick was our tour guide and he was incredible. This was the best tour we've ever had. He showed us all of the highlights of London and Patrick had many background stories to make it more interesting. We saw Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard as well as going behind the scenes at infamous hotels and bars
Patrick accommodated all our interests and our needs. It was an incredibly personal experience.
Catherine_K, Jul 2026
It was so good! Gary took to all the places that you should see in London and then places that were not on our radar to see!
Stephanie_B, Jul 2026

Our driver, Ryan was flexible, extremely knowledgeable in the history of England and fun to be with. We had a few must sees but were delighted with places Ryan took us to that we hadn't thought to go. Great tour!
Timothy_H, Jun 2026
My tour guide Dennis was exceptional. Went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and truly provided a tailored experience. I appreciated his in depth knowledge, friendliness and flexibility with where I wanted to go! Excellent!
Nancy_R, Jun 2026
Excellent tour of London. Our driver/tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.
Linda_B, May 2026
Excellent experience. Guide Dave, was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. I have had a stroke and mobility is challenging. He went out of his way to ensure my safety and get our group as close as possible to many places. Could not be more pleased.
Maria_G, May 2026
Make sure you know what you really want to see, there is not nearly enough time to see everything that is listed in the description and you may end up spending a lot of time somewhere (for us it was next to Parliament) where you might have preferred to move on to another place.
Laurie_D, May 2026
Julie was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, easy to chat with and if we mentioned anything (like Bridgerton house or The Black Dog) she was like let me show you and took us there. It was unusually hot in London today and she was always going out of her way to make sure we had water, air con and that we didn't have to be out walking in the heat. She was a amazing 10 out of 10!
Andria_L, May 2026
He was very attentive to our needs and abilities.
Terry was very well educated on the history of London and the architecture.
jdflynn2, May 2026
It was the best tour ever!! Jeremy was the best tour guide ever!!! He showed us so much stuff and was so knowledgeable about London that we got to see things we didn’t know existed. If you book Jeremy you will not be disappointed!!
Kathy_W, May 2026
This is a must do! Our guide, Tracey, was phenomenal!! Very fun, extremely knowledgeable and so accommodating! Our tour was beyond our expectations! We could not have asked for a better guide and tour! On a scale from 1-10 I’d give it a 100+!!
Victoria_M, May 2026
Terri was amazing. From before trip communication to the end.
You must use him for your tours in London. He showed us in awesome ways everything we could possibly see in the London.area. His knowledge of even the smallest details was perfect. We had four adults. I am in a wheelchair and he made sure I could see everything. He listened to our wants and adapted. He always found time to help us enjoy the six hour trip. If you are handicapped I highly recommend. If fully able I highly recommend.
I cannot say enough about him. We felt like family and laughed and joked like we were family. If we had more time in London I would book other tours with him!
Diane_G, May 2026
A MUST do when in London. Our experience was superb due to our tour guide Jeremy. He is a wealth of knowledge and extremely informative. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Stella was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. She taught us so much and made sure we got to see all our must see places!
Mark_A, Feb 2026
Ryan has great knowledge of London especially since he grew up in the city. Very personal. We enjoyed spending the day the time flew by.
Karen_B, Jan 2026
Tracey was so knowledgeable about London; its history and people. She was friendly, funny, and showed us some less touristy spots.
Phillip_H, Jan 2026
This tour was excellent from the beginning, Dennis was very organized. The historical sites he took us to were fantastic and his knowledge of each one delivered with a clear and concise explanation made each stop worth the time. He was very flexible with the sites we wanted to see and adapted to our requests. He always pointed out what was coming up and to get our cameras ready!
Dennis is a historian for London. One of the best tours we have taken with Viator! He even escorted us to a local pub and restaurant that was not crowded and the food was excellent! We were in London over the new year everything was totally packed and he took the time to take us to spots that allowed us to take excellent pictures without fighting the crowds!
Thank you again for giving us a great day in London Dennis.
He is worth the request!
KELSEY_R, Jan 2026
This was a wonderful tour! Rickie was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we would highly recommend this tour that hit the highlights of London.
Grettel_C, Dec 2025
Our tour was fun-tastic! we enjoyed it very much, but the super star was our driver Johnny. He was very knowledgeable about the history of his country and shared it with pride. We appreciated very much his kindness, his jokes, the wonderful pictures he took of my husband and I, and if we would have to do this again would absolutely ask for him. Thank you Johnny for an unforgettable and fun ride around London!
Diana_H, Nov 2025
The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Mick G made our London tour truly unforgettable. He combined fascinating stories, deep knowledge of the city, and a great sense of humor that kept everyone engaged. Every stop felt well-chosen, and he created such a warm, fun atmosphere that the whole group felt comfortable and involved. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it was an experience full of insight, personality, and memorable moments. Mick G truly elevated our time in London.
Eva_S, Oct 2025
Tour is misleading as to the amount of sights you will see. There is NO WAY you will see what is listed in the six hour tour. Tour operator Ricky was knowledgeable and provided some interesting extra tib bits and offered to do anything extra we wanted. Recommend that the operator keep personal life info to themselves as we felt bad for him. Would have preferred more sights instead of looking at statues. Kinda got the feeling operator did not want to drive us around and would have preferred going to eat or pub with us instead due to his health injuries. Great guy just odd feeling, solid 4 stars for driver, 3 stars for misleading info on what you will actually see due to London traffic.
Rena_K, Oct 2025
What a wonderful way to see London!! Doug, our taxi driver and knowledgeable guide was extremely warm from the moment we met him. He was full of knowledge and clearly excited to show us all the sights and to be flexible enough with our special request! Our older kids (11, 14 and 16) loved the experience as well and Doug made them feel included too. Such a great history lesson, wonderful sights and a clean black taxi all to ourselves!
