    This is a very misleading tour or we just had a very bad tour guide. She wasted more than half the time talking about everything but the tower of London. We finally left the tour and did it on our own and had a much better experience. Several people actually left the tour so we weren't the only ones

  • Nice visit. Would recommend.

    Great experience! Fantastic tour guide (Paeder) who was very knowledgeable and kept it entertaining throughout the tour. Make sure to add time to the total duration they show as you don’t see the full tower with the group but can browse on your own once the group is done but you need to make sure you haven’t booked anything else after.

  • Very informative. ...

    Very informative. Svetlana, our guide, was a lovely lady who is super knowledgeable. The ride down the Thames was quite nice, and the group was just the right size.

  • Seeing London on a Bike and Not by Foot Was Much More Pleasurable If You Are a Competent Biker

    I booked 3 Viator tours. I enjoyed the Hidden Gems Bike tour far more than the tour billed as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey that ended up being 3 hours on our feet. It was wonderful to see so many sights, including Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, which was totally adequate, as well as so many other hidden London gems. James was an exceptional guide. I felt totally safe despite the London traffic. He was also quite informative. Highly recommend.
