Even on a grizzly grey day, this tour was excellent and enjoyable. 2 hours packed full. We would recommend!”
A 3-hour guided walk through the City of London, from St. Paul’s and Fleet Street to Borough Market and Tower stories near London Bridge.
“Ridiculous, fraudulent and unprofessional tour (for $239) The guide was mumbling words with a very low voice and without even looking at us, making the understanding of what she was saying almost impossible. Evidently not trained for that job. I have asked to see her licence. I have received no answer as of now. She had troubles with directions, like she did not know the city. She kept telling us trivial stories that had no historical value and foundation. She brought us to markets that were closed (such as the meat market) She kept asking us what we wanted to see. We needed a guide because we wanted suggestions, not…”
A guided 4.5-hour London city hike from Waterloo to the Tower, with Borough Market lunch and an optional pub finish.
“I booked this tour to get my bearings around London as it's my first time traveling here — I’m so glad I did! It was the perfect way to see nearly all the major landmarks in one go while getting a real feel for the city. The route is really well thought out and covers an impressive number of iconic sights, from the Graffiti tunnel, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben to the Tower of London and much more. There is something great around every corner! The guide, Paul, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had stories to share of most landmarks. There was a balance between walking, stopping for stories, and photo opportunities.…”
Four-pub City of London beer tour with bar snacks, Great Fire era stories, and a modern showstopper, led by Mark. End at Leadenhall Market.
“Our guide was super fun to hang out with and answered our endless questions. All the pubs are close by each other so most of the time was spent at each pub learning the history and enjoying a beer. We had some snacks at one pub that were delicious! Loved all the beers he chose for us. Overall an awesome tour, and I would highly recommend to start your trip here since you learn so much!”
