I am SO glad I booked the intro tour with ATO! It was incredible. I was staying at Strand Palace, so I was in the middle of many things, but since it was my first time in London, I had no clue where to start. My guide, Peter, was amazing about helping me get my bearings and figure out where I was in relation to everything. He told me lots of cool information that isn’t in a tourist’s guide, and really customized my tour to my benefit. It was the perfect start to what was my “trip-of-a-lifetime.” I felt really confident walking around after that. (He was even nice enough to take photos of me with some landmarks since I was traveling alone!) He also made sure that I knew little tips for the tube, good pubs, and more than that, answered a million little questions to help me feel less like a tourist. Highly recommend!!

Excellent walking tour starting with Buckingham Palace. Peter, our guide provided historical contexts, royal protocols, and highlighted historical points of interest that focused on British history. He also helped us find good photo opportunities and food services. We especially enjoyed our stop at the Borough Market for a bite to eat. Peter was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to our personal needs, interests and timelines.

Great tour Peter was wonderful showing us around all the areas of London. He showed us all the main points of interest along with areas we wouldn't have even known about. He was easy to talk to and answered all our questions.

Unfortunately the worst and most expensive walking tour I have ever taken.We have taken MANY history tours through viator. I would truly like a refund. First the tour guide was behind the Canada gate the meeting point with NO IDENTIFIABLE clothing or flag. We had to call the company. The tour was suppose to be 4 hours. He told us right away it would be 3-4 hours. We basically walked around London with MINIMAL history shared. My husband is a history buff and this was extremely disappointing. I could have browsed the city and googled the landmarks. We always leave a tip. My husband was going to leave one anyway until I told him how much we paid for the tour. He was shocked and says no way will he leave a tip.

Had a great waking tour with Peter showing my adult son and I all of the sights around London. He was very knowledgeable and friendly but did not overload us with historical information. He also found us the perfect hotel for our budget in a great location and recommended some great restaurants. Highly recommend Peter and ATO Tours!
