Fantastic experience, Dan was amazing. Very witty and very knowledgeable.
Amazing experience I loved our guide she’s from new zeaond
Adrian was excellent. The tour was very enjoyable. He was a wealth of information. I would recommend to anyone who can walk for 5 hours
I loved every minute of this tour. Dan is a wonderful guide! His knowledge of the history of London and England is astounding. He made the tour fun and interesting. Highly recommend!
Mark was great! He certainly has a passion for the history of London. I liked this tour since I got to see all of the main spots of London without needing to use Google Maps. There isn’t really time to take a full lunch, so definitely plan accordingly (I just ate a full breakfast and I was fine until 3pm, when the tour ends). I’d recommend adding the Tower of London addition to your ticket. You’ll be able to make it a full day and see a great piece of history as well!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of London. Our guide Jason, was extremely informative, funny and courteous. We have done several walking tours in cities all over the world and this was probably our favorite.
This tour is an excellent overview of some of the popular sites in London. Our guide, Ash, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He made a point to speak to each person on the tour and really cared about our experience. He was very punctual and organized as well. This tour is perfect for those who only have a short amount of time to see the city or those who want to get an overview of some of the highlights at the beginning of their trip. We cannot say enough positive things about this tour, especially our guide Ash. We loved it so much, we were sad to see the tour come to an end. Highly recommend!
Mark was very knowledgeable and enjoyed he speaking ability. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits London. Good Job.
