Great tour guide
Tour was great. Be aware it’s 5 hours of walking but we had a beautiful day and saw lots of sites. Our tour guide Benedict was both informative and entertaining. He made the experience great.

London Tour
Nicolas was fantastic. Lots of information and knowledge of history. Efficient use of time so we were shown most of essential London in one afternoon. Highly recommend especially if you can book Nicolas.

Walked a lot. Saw a lot. Great tour!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 hour tour walking through the many awesome highlights of London, including a short ride in the tube (subway). Our guide, Jack, did a great job of combining his extensive knowledge with a fun and positive attitude and a sprinkle of humor. This is a great way to see a lot of the big sights, including many you would most likely not experience on our own, in one sweep.

We really enjoyed this 5...
We really enjoyed this 5 mile walking tour. Our guide was very informative. This is perfect for first time visitors to get a nice overview of the city and to learn some history. The app should state how many miles this walking tour will be.

Sam was great! The tour is well paced, well organized and very engaging. I was sick but the tour did a good job distracting me from how I felt. 5 hrs passed quick, and I really enjoyed every moment. Thank you, Sam!
