5.00This was a brilliant walking tour! We landed at Heathrow this morning, and this tour marked the beginning of our first vacation in London. After finishing this walking tour, if I had had to turn around immediately after the tour and go straight back to the airport and fly home today, only spending a few hours in London, I would still be able to say that I had a wonderful time in London, and it was worth the 8-hour flight. Just for this tour! Tower of London. Tower Bridge. London Bridge. St. Paul’s Cathedral. And so much more! My wife and I are pretty enthusiastic history students, and we take walking tours like this everywhere we go. This was the best historical walking tour we’ve ever taken. Anywhere. I would be happy doing the exact same history walk tomorrow. I just might! Bottom line: If you have only one day to spend in London, spend it doing this tour. You will be glad you did.

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Had to walk a lot. Would recommend doing this at the start of your tour. Gives better idea of things you want to cover again. As described in listing you end up walking along all the places while taking pit stops at places for guide’s briefings and pictures.
Mike was a fantastic tour...
