An absolutely excellent tour. The tour guide was full of insight about the history of London and he was extremely witty too. The time flew by, it was such an informative and interesting tour. Both myself & my daughter would really recommend it, a very enjoyable way to see the city and to learn all about it.

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was very chill and entertaining. Only thing is, if you book the tour on the colder months (February for us) please dress warmly since it can get cold and windy on the deck. Other than that would 5/5 recommend!

It was a wonderful activity. Julius was our tour guide and he provided enough detail about monuments. I do not expect anything more or less from what was described or price listed when booking.

Gorgeous! I highly recommend because it is complete, extremely practical and very interesting thanks to Lew (Lou), the best guide ever!!!

Great tour, great tourguide. We had an amazing time and really enjoyed it! This is a must do when in London. Loved it!
