★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 730 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $165Our pick

See Westminster, Buckingham, the Thames cruise, and the Tower of London in one day with skip-the-line entry and clear headset commentary.

“Dominic is absolutely wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about so many major events as well as many little known events. Before going into places that didn’t allow tour guides, he provided so much more detailed information before our entry that once we entered we quickly realized that his knowledge and information was so much better than what was offered about the London Towers Jewels or the information about the different features along the Thames River during the riverboat tour. A must do tour, especially, if you’re lucky enough to get Dominic. Highly recommend”

Took our ten year old son for the tour and Damiano was great within him. Knew exactly what highlights of the museum to see, where to stand, and was very informative. Teddy really enjoyed his day. Really good tour and glad we decided to try it.”

“You get a very good personal 3-hour-"stroll" through London. The tourguide is fluent in the choosen language (german in my case) and really explains very good - about history, special events, Harry Potter etc. You get explanations to typical sights and also to lesser or unknown points of interest in London; and the tourguide is also flexible in respect of what you want to visit. The Shard is offers a fascinating view and complements the tour very good (visits to other sights are not included). So everything is excellent - if there wouldn't be the exorbitant price! I know, how much a tour-guide is earning approximately per hour, and it…”
