We did this tour the first day we arrived in London. It was fantastic with so much fascinating information and an excellent introduction to the city. Our guide, Dan, was wonderful—deep knowledge of history but also fun and able to offer all the quirky insights. Highly recommend!

Great tour, especially for first timers to London. The guide Ari was amazing. Her level of knowledge was awesome. We highly recommend.
Joe was THE BEST tour guide —his wealth of knowledge combined with his love of London and excellent amenable disposition created a phenomenal experience for our whole family (age range: 12-70 years old)!
It was amazing to have an energetic, fun and factual walking tour today with Chris. He was so interesting and informative. The sights we saw would have been so easily missed without Chris pointing them out and telling us about them. The small nature of the group size really makes it intimate and you instantly feel at ease in Chris’s company. Go on this tour and be minded and brought around London. Mary and Marian ☘️

I booked this tour as I am a solo traveller. It was a great experience and the time went so fast. Nigel our leader was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want an overview of all that London has to offer. I found the pace easy and so many great photo opportunities.
My husband and I went on the private London Tour with Will as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and excited to show us London's top sites. He shared a lot of interesting stories and history with us. He was funny, friendly, and patient with our questions. We covered a lot of sites and even stopped for lunch at nearby pub called The Ring. We were able to enjoy some delicious fish and chips before continuing our adventure. He helped us get on the underground for the first time and made sure we knew how to navigate back to our hotel. I would highly recommend this London tour! Will is awesome!
My husband and I were in London for three days and wanted a way to discover London. Our tour guide was Nigel, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of sites in London. If you’re looking for great value, a warm personal touch, learning about history, and walking off that English breakfast you had in the morning, this tour is it!
