Covers so many sites and Connor had plenty of wisdom and historical knowledge going into adequate detail for the group but ready to dive in if someone asked a question.. Kept us on schedule, with particulars like knowing the rest areas, or we wouldn’t see many trash cans or eateries as we approached one leg of our tour. Recommended!

This was a good easy walk to see highlights of town and the history behind it. Guide was hilarious and was a little dramatic to keep it interesting. The King was leaving when we walked up we think. Saw possibly some Ambassadors in carriages on back road. We did both Westminster and then war room last. Was a nice tour that was not a chore to walk.

Mark was a wonderful and...

Hannah_L, Oct 2025
Mark was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. He was witty, a great story teller, and quite engaging. The overall experience was great but be prepared to walk/stand a lot, limited bathroom availability, it was also a lot of information to take in at once. I think I would have enjoyed the activities broken up more throughout our trip, information overload.

We enjoyed this tour...

LeeAnn_G, Sep 2025
We enjoyed this tour despite the disruption caused by protestors, an excellent walk around London covering a lot of history

Not enough time to do everything we paid for.

Terri_M, Aug 2025
Tour didn't mention it would include Buckingham and changing of the guards. There was not enough time to do everything we paid for because of 1.5 hour queue to get into the Abbey. Prepare for a lot of steps and stops. No refund or partial refund offered. Ali was the only great part of this tour. She was lovely and shared some great history with the group.

Jason (Mary Poppins brother) was a fantastic guide. He educated with humor. Very interesting tour. Highly recommend.

We booked this tour believing it was different from the tour the day before. It was the same tour, however, having a different guide made the tour just as interesting.

Touring London with Nathaniel the Great!

Jim_D, Oct 2024
We had an amazing tour with Nathaniel! A native Londoner who loves his city and it showed during the tour. He had a great sense of humor, was easy to understand and made the 3 hour tour a must see and do! I would take other tours thru Viator based on our experiences with multiple other ones. Their app is easy to use and the follow-up emails keep you on plan up to the day of the event.

Lots of standing in line

Amber_L, Jul 2024
Lucked into catching the changing of the guard at Buckingham. Pace at the end was very rushed so we didn't get any real time with our guide talking about Big Ben or Westminister. Our tickets to Churchill War Room got us into a prepaid ticket line but took us more than 1 hour wait to enter.

The tour is in English only

Alejandra_M, Aug 2025
The tour is in English only the tour guide if it gives real and good data, but my family does not speak English
