All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide.  To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point.  This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour.  Your guide will also have a mask with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions travelers ask before visiting.

Across the booking platforms we compare, options range from $22 to $375, with most falling between $48 and $246. The median price is around $153. This spread reflects a mix of short walking tours, longer guided experiences, and private options, so there's something for different budgets.

About 57% of the options we compare are private tours, which is notably higher than typical for most landmarks. Private tours let you explore at your own pace with a dedicated guide, making them popular for small groups or those wanting a more personalized experience. They do tend toward the higher end of the price range, but the flexibility and attention often justify the cost for travellers who prefer not to join a group.

Tours typically run between 1.5 and 4 hours, with most around 3.5 hours. That's long enough to explore the site thoroughly with a guide and soak in the history without feeling rushed, but short enough to fit into a busy London itinerary.

About 21% of the options we compare are flagged as likely to sell out, so booking ahead is worth doing if you've found a tour you like. The good news is that 93% of options offer free cancellation, so you can reserve without much risk and adjust your plans if needed.

Most tours (86%) include a professional guide, who brings the history and stories to life. A smaller number also include the entry ticket or an audio guide, so check the listing details. About 14% come with meals or food and drinks, which can be a nice bonus if you want a more immersive experience.

About 79% of the options we compare are tagged as eco-friendly, reflecting a focus on walking-based exploration rather than vehicle tours. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with an average rating of 4.92 stars across 381 combined reviews. Travellers repeatedly mention that tours are amazing, excellent, and highly recommended, making this a landmark worth visiting.

Tours across the booking platforms we compare are offered in English and Spanish, so if either is your language, you'll have options available.

Use the Oyster card or contactless payment for unlimited travel on the Underground, buses, and trams. Download the TfL Go app for real-time route planning and service updates.

Central London areas like Westminster, South Bank, and Covent Garden are very safe. Avoid poorly lit areas late at night. Use official taxis or ride-sharing apps for nighttime travel.

Book tickets online in advance for skip-the-line access. Consider visiting during off-peak hours like weekday mornings or purchasing a London Pass for multiple attractions.
