please TAKE THIS TOUR - i can’t truly describe how amazing this tour was. caroline did an immaculate job!! she was an INCREDIBLE guide. not only did she know everything about the stops, but since we were the only ones on the tour she customized it and we ended up spending the WHOLE DAY WITH HER! she showed us so much!!! she’s so personable and compassionate. i have allergies so she was able to accommodate me during the changing of the guards while also giving my friends the appropriate experience. i really hope she continues to give tours, London wouldn’t have been the same without her. we follow each other on media and still keep in touch, truly an amazing woman! please, even if you’re not short on time, let caroline entertain & inform you! you won’t regret it. and for the amount that’s seen, info shared, & the laughs, this tour is Wy to cheap. a solid steal! thank you caroline for all that you did. i seriously mean it, London wouldn’t have been the same without you. and i still think about Fish! at least once a week!!

The tour was so much FUN!!! Highly Recommend! - The tour was so much FUN! We really enjoyed seeing the sites and learning about London's history. Alex was a great guide and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend to anyone especially those wanting to see as much as possible in a short time frame as we were only in the city for couple of days.

Perfect overview of the city - Fantastic! We loved the overview of the city. It was the perfect way to orient ourselves. We felt like we got an honest assessment of London today as well as a great history of how it became the city it is the pace was great fast enough to be interested, but in depth enough to have a good education, we love the operator, very knowledgeable, truthful and funny

Jane - UK tour - Feb 2020 - I took a solo trip and one of my stops was London. I took a tour with Phil and it was amazing! He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. At our many stops, he offered the great historical facts and offered taking pictures when appropriate. Even got some fish & chips! I would 1000% recommend this tour!!

A sunny walk in London - pre COVID - Caroline was very friendly and thoughtful.
I visited London in Feb 2020.
She added a personal touch to the tour.
What surprised me most was that she’s an excellent story teller. She pointed out attractions that may interest us or that is dear to her and asked us to visit.
She has advised us over and over to contact her if we require any help during our stay.
She pointed out different museums, and theatres and gave us a brief history and tips on when best to visit.
All in all it was brilliantly sunny day in London

Engaging, informative and fun! - Phil was OUTSTANDING! Not only was he well educated and very informative, but he was very personable and made connections with everyone in the group. We had a very diverse group, but he was able to relate the locations to each person in the group at least once. We ate at Borough Market and Phil helped us make choices from all the amazing food booths. The day went so quickly, because the information was so engaging.

Must Book - Philip was our tour guide and he was super nice and accommodating. We did a private tour with my family because we have 2 two year olds traveling with us and an 8 year old. We didn't think the 8 year old would be into a walking history tour, but Philip was so good he got into it and even started asking questions about things we saw. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer about London or any of the sites we saw. I followed the advice of a fellow reviewer and booked this for our first day here so we could know better what we should and shouldn't do while we were here. Philip gave us pointers and told us which sites we should definitely do. | highly recommend this tour to everyone. The two year olds even had a good time.

Joined this tour twice & recommend it to everyone I know - Caroline's London in a Day tour is an absolute MUST! She's not only extremely knowledgeable but also the sweetest guide you'll ever meet. I've had the pleasure of joining this tour twice, once with my husband and once with my best friend, and both experiences were fantastic.
In just one day, Caroline takes you through London's top attractions, providing the perfect introduction to the city's rich history and culture. Caroline's tour is the perfect way to get acquainted with the city and see all the must-see spots without worrying about getting lost, or how to use the tube, or if you’ll be able to see all of these great spots in a day… you simply lace up your trainers and follow Caroline through the city without a worry! She prepares you before hand for the journey with her pre-tour check in messages and excellent communication throughout.
In addition, I think what makes this tour even more special, is the opportunity to meet fellow travelers! During my second tour, I actually ended up meeting someone who I now consider a life long friend!
This tour is worth every penny. You’ll learn a whole lot, see all the sites, and make a lasting memory ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank Caroline! I do hope our paths cross again.

Great London walking tour! - I took this walking tour in March 2023. It was a great, memorable tour despite the rain. Below is my review from 1 year ago.
This is a great walking tour to get an overview of London before choosing specific locations to spend more time exploring. Philip was a knowledgeable tour guide that made the walking tour enjoyable despite the rainy conditions. Also, I appreciated the extra advice and directions to visit other sights in London after the tour ended.
