Viator provided me the best guide to tour Central London. Will showed us all the places and more importantly, I enjoyed listening to his speech with beautiful English accent and friendly approach to all members of the tour.
Ash was a very knowledgeable guide and shared fun , juicy tales of past and present royals! He was on time with all the stops and filled the time slots appropriately. One thing I really liked is Ash ensured the group was together before speaking so no one missed a thing. The half tour was 10,000 steps and the longer tour that lasts about 6.5 hours was 16,000 steps. Just an idea for you to know how much walking is involved.
Tanya was amazing! It was an usually hot day but she was upbeat and very knowledgeable during our 5hr walk through London. Would highly recommend you ask for her if you do this tour.
Even if you pay extra for the Tower Bridge experience, they leave you at Burrough market. We had to find our own way where there was a lot of construction and diversions. The rest of the tour was wonderful. Chris was funny and informative!
Although was very difficult for us to walk for 5 hours, the info content was fabulous! Our guide was funny, friendly, & professional!
Christopher was a very engaging, knowledgeable guide. He was very open with handling questions and always fun but informative.
