Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    First, I really enjoyed our tour guide. The guide was five-stars. Zozo (unsure of the spelling) was knowledgeable, organized, and meticulous in stating the facts.

    We did have itinerary changes, but those who have taken tours like this in the past will know that these alterations are part of the experience. What I appreciated was Zozo’s communication throughout. No issues there at all.

    Only reason I gave four stars and not five was the fact we saw many of the sites from the coach, and it was difficult to take photos. All in all, it was incredibly enjoyable for a family of four. My children are well-behaved, 10 and 12. If you plan on taking kids that, be a bit forgiving of their attention span at times. Both of ours “loved” the sites but got a bit “bored” during some of the guided information at stops. Of course, my wife and I quite enjoyed the commentary. The kids thought the Crown Jewels, Tower of London (more broadly), St. Paul’s crypt, and the London Eye were their favorites.

    Great day in London!

    My teen son and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with many thanks to our guide, Lucy. She perfectly curated the sights we enjoyed throughout the Abbey and as we further explored the Westminster area. Lucy’s wit and ever-so-clever insights made this tour a delight. Remarkably, several days later we saw Lucy again -only by chance- at Stonehenge, where she quickly and voluntarily reassumed her role as a “fountain of knowledge” and quickly gave her advice for our otherwise self-guided visit. Highly recommend! Thank you! (and Lucy, should you happen see this review, know that we saw the King at Windsor, wish you were there!).

    This food tour was top notch! Our guide Tom was entertaining and made it fun. Borough Market was busting at the seams but he made it feel small and quaint. The food was delicious! Humble Crumble was the unexpected highlight. I highly recommend this tour!

    We took the trip to Paris from London for the day. Anna our tour guide was very helpful in planning our day. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint would be that when we got our train tickets we had to go to a different window for the train station to change our tickets. When they did change our tickets our 4 person group ended up in different train cars from each other. There were no seats next to our spouses. It would have been nice to of all sat together or at least as couples. I would still recommend this excursion to get a quick glance at Paris.

    Patrick was so entertaining, personable, & full of information all at the same time. He was wonderful! He even wore his WV sweatshirt knowing we were from the state.

    Amber was amazing, friendly, and so knowledgeable about everything Churchill and English history. Plenty of insights, a little singing entertainment, and fun to be around. She'd pause to explain monuments and sites that I had little familiarity with despite multiple past visits. The group of 8 was the perfect size to navigate the crowded London streets. This was probably my favorite Viator tour yet. Thank you Amber.

    Ben did a great job of leading us through the Tower grounds and giving us lots of information before letting us explore different areas. The morning ceremony was a fun addition to the tower and getting into the Crown Jewels early was great as the crowd kept growing as time went on. This tour gave us the access we needed and still some freedom to explore on our own

    Damiano was extremely knowledgeable and highly charismatic. He was willing to customize the morning to our interests. We stayed in the museum after our tour and it was a far less exciting experience without him. Highly recommend this tour, and it came at a fraction of the price of some of the competition.

    We had a great time, Gary and Walter gave us lots of information that you wouldn’t get on another tour. Was a great way for us to see some of the top sights in the city with kids in a short space of time. We saw and were told facts about London that we hadn't heard before. Very responsive to emails and easy to book.
    Thank you very much Walter and Gary.

    Heading high spots was a highlight. Our guide talked entirely too fast, and we had already passed many things that he started talking about he was he had a script that he adhered to, took no questions, sadly. You

    A great way of seeing and getting information about the outstanding landmarks in London particularly if you want to see more in less time. You also have a chance to get amazing photos of the city and the Tower Bridge along tge way. Greenwich is a remarkable town worth visiting. The Royal Observatory, The Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark shouldn't be a miss.

    Good time, but wish we had done a cruise without the afternoon tea. The food was just okay. Tea was fine. Coffee option was very burnt. We could smell it before the waiter put it on the table.
