Additional Information
Your dedicated tour guide will lead you in discovering over 30 key landmarks in London on a 5-hour walk that begins at 10 in the morning and concludes at 3 in the afternoon. Our journey will commence through Green Park towards Buckingham Palace for the globally renowned Changing of the Guard ceremony. This striking and age-old ritual involves the New Guard swapping roles with the Old Guard, after which we will proceed towards Westminster.
Notable sights we will experience en route include Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben (currently concealed for refurbishment), and the Houses of Parliament.
Following this, the tour will carry on to the vicinity of London Bridge. Here, the sights include Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the Shard, HMS Belfast, and the iconic Tower Bridge.

Walk this way with Chris!! - It was amazing to have an energetic, fun and factual walking tour today with Chris. He was so interesting and informative. The sights we saw would have been so easily missed without Chris pointing them out and telling us about them. The small nature of the group size really makes it intimate and you instantly feel at ease in Chris’s company.
Go on this tour and be minded and brought around London.

Learn a lot about London in a short period of time - I booked this tour as I am a solo traveller. It was a great experience and the time went so fast. Nigel our leader was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want an overview of all that London has to offer. I found the pace easy and so many great photo opportunities.

Great Guide = Great Experience! - My husband and I went on the private London Tour with Will as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and excited to show us London's top sites. He shared a lot of interesting stories and history with us. He was funny, friendly, and patient with our questions. We covered a lot of sites and even stopped for lunch at nearby pub called The Ring. We were able to enjoy some delicious fish and chips before continuing our adventure. He helped us get on the underground for the first time and made sure we knew how to navigate back to our hotel. I would highly recommend this London tour! Will is awesome!

Immersive experience if you want to get to know London in a short period of time - My husband and I were in London for three days and wanted a way to discover London. Our tour guide was Nigel, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of sites in London. If you’re looking for great value, a warm personal touch, learning about history, and walking off that English breakfast you had in the morning, this tour is it!

One of the best tours we ever had - Though we didn’t get to visit all 30 sites, it is mostly due to our younger children being jet lagged, and we had to stop for lunch to avoid “hangry” kids.. Nigel, our tour guide was very informative and engaging.. he took us to great spots and shortcuts to different places, navigating away from the crowds and also taking lots of photos for us.. Very recommended!

A must - Nigel was awesome to tour the city with. The tour was a 5 hour tour but went by so quickly. Nigel did an awesome job with historical stories and making sure we went to London’s hidden gems. I highly recommend this tour. It also was a great way to get an introduction to the public transportation in the city. My recommendation for future tourees weather is very unpredictable, so make sure your shoes are weather proof and you are dressed appropriately. First 4 1/2 hours were sunny, last 30 minutes was a crazy downpour.
