5.00A private guide walking tour is an unique experience. When you have a fantastic guide as James who was made the tour a casual and friendly walk with a very accurate and non scripted overview of England and world history together of showing the best spots of Southampton it was much beyond our best expectations and surely we recommend if you stop here in a cruise or just happen to pass by this charming city.
Great way to experience Southampton

5.00GREAT Private Walking Tour of Southampton on Sept 15, 2025!! Our Tour Guide, Sam was excellent and very knowledgeable about Southampton's history; which he shared with us during our walk-about. We were a group of 2; so, this was truly a "private" tour. Thanks again for a great Southampton tour!! And thanks Viator for making it very easy to book especially with the "reserve now pay later" option.

5.00This private walking tour with our guide Lillian was fantastic! Lillian was thorough and professional while giving us a personal touch on locations that we saw. We learned so much about Southampton and the people of Southampton that we would never have know had we just toured on our own. I'm so glad that we took the time do this short tour prior to our cruise. I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering.
