5.00This was such a great experience for our first full day in London. It was a long walk when you reflect on the whole tour but it never felt that way because it was so entertaining and engaging. We loved getting a taste of what we will explore more in the days to come!

5.00Our tour leader Mick was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. He ensured that all the group were included and met their needs. He made sure that we all knew how to get back to where we were staying. Would thoroughly recommend both him and the walking tour.
Well worth it.

5.00An excellent tour of the medieval sites of central London. The reality, of course, is that other than the Tower of London the remaining sites were quite reduced over the years
The guide was well...

5.00This tour was our favorite in London. Great guide, fun sights, learned all kinds of interesting information. Guide is friendly, upbeat, knows the information and has interesting stories. Don’t miss going on this tour!

5.00Mick was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He deserves to be at the top spot! If we’d had more time we would have checked out his Jack the Ripper tour. Pretty sure we’ll be crediting him with all the photos on our holiday card this year too. Highly recommend!! One tip: Viator said the meeting point was about 25min away from the real meeting point, which is Tower Hill Tube Station by the burger kiosk. I recommend checking with Mick on WhatsApp before the tour to confirm the meeting location.
