“This was an all day experience. They packed a lot into the tour. Everything was so interesting and informative. Our guide was the best. It was very knowledgeable and very personable and made us laugh.. The only thing I would suggest is to add some additional time for bathroom breaks. Other than that. It was the perfect tour to see everything in a little amount of time if you don’t have a lot of time in London.”

“We typically go on a walking tour of each city we visit. It’s a great way to get to know and become oriented in a city. This tour was interesting and educational. Many people have heard of, if not being familiar with, the icons of London, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Tower of London. This tour put these in perspective with London’s history beginning more than 1,000 years ago. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, respectful, responsible. He made London come alive. The tour weaved its way through parts of London that have history going back more than 1,000 years. We highly recommend this tour and guide.”

“Extremely disappointing! Arrived during the Extinction Rebellion with many routes closed. No notice from Viator about the interruption of services. Had to walk considerable distance to get to a bus. Staff was not helpful in anyway and appeared to be a real effort to answer any questions and certainly did not share the interruption of services prior to validating the tickets. Only able to ride the bus one day of a two day pass.”
