Excellent experience, our tour guide Becky was fantastic. 5 stars, I’d give 10 stars if I could. - Becky was a superb guide, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Due to a strike outside of anyone’s control we were unable to visit the British Museum as originally planned, regardless Becky devised a plan for a full walking tour of multiple neighborhoods rich in history and interesting things to see. I would gladly work with her and Babylon Tours again.

Wonderful walking tour for beginning of your London stay - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of London with Toni. He brought the rich history of London to life with anecdotes and humor. Recommend that you do this at the front end of a London visit to orient you to the city.
