England · LONDON TOURS & ACTIVITIES
London does not reward wandering as well as it rewards a plan. Build the spine of a first visit from these 15: the Tower at opening, a food walk through Borough, the Thames at speed and the lanes that only work after dark.
Luxury coach day trip from London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath, with expert guide, timed stops, and included entrances options.
“Stonehenge and Windsor Castle both exceeded our expectations. Both were awe inspiring and well worth the long trip. The stop in Bath was also nice but it's hard to compare to the other two sites for us.”
Hop-on hop-off London Big Bus with Thames cruise option. Double-decker views, 7-language audio, onboard Wi-Fi, and flexible stops.
“Worth every penny saw so much of London drivers so friendly and helpful. The busses were frequent with no waiting”
A 3.5-hour small-group London pub tour hitting four historic pubs from Blackfriars to Fleet Street and ending near Covent Garden.
“The pub tour was great and the guide was knowledgeable and hilarious. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath with Lacock pub lunch on a guided coach tour from London, with optional castle or Stonehenge entry.
“It was a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the places we went. He also gave us good advice and great recommendations. It was a full day, but completely worth it!”
Get into the Tower of London and Crown Jewels, plus a Yeoman Warder tour. See ravens, prisoners, and the Koh-i-Noor.
“Would highly recommend booking this via Viator. It was cheaper than booking direct with the Tower of London. Our admission time was 10am and we did the 10.45 Yeomans tour which was a fabulous 45mins walk around and history overview. The tower offer an audio guide for an extra cost but we didn’t feel like we needed it. We allowed 2-3 hours for this which was about right with our 8 year old.”
Thorpe Park day ticket from London with mobile entry, 30 rides, seasonal events, and Fastrack options. Plan for queues and height checks.
“Love roller coasters and have ridden them all over the world. Your park is old, poorly maintained and I would not feel particularly safe on your rides.”
Full day coach tour from London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath, with expert guide, optional tickets, and Wi-Fi on board.
“Paulie and Mario were great. The sites were wonderful and full of history. Be prepared for a long day, with only a short time to visit each location and long lines for Windsor Castle. We spent most of our time waiting to enter the castle and had to rush back to the bus in time. Also, you will need to take some time to get something quick to eat. I would recommend bringing food and drinks with you.”
A smooth London day trip packed into 11.5 hours, hitting Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford with headsets and optional paid entries.
“Very cool and very fun. I should have checked the weather there and dressed more warmly. But still had an amazing time. Richard was funny and very knowledgeable.”
London’s Jack the Ripper night walk with Ripper-Vision projections through Whitechapel, ending near Spitalfields Market. 7:30 pm, 1h45.
“A huge amount of pointless walking. Too many people on the tour which made it difficult to hear the guide. Presentation lacked perspective and context - essentially marching from place to place to see the spot where each crime was committed. The guide was knowledgeable but keep throwing out names and dates as if that was all anyone needed to know. Guide also spent time trying to sell his book and also pushing people to go on another tour he does on medieval history- including passing out advertising pamphlets. I feel he just should have stayed on point with what we signed on for. The "multimedia" aspect was bogus -…”
Actor-led Harry Potter walking tour through London filming locations, real-world inspirations, and a fun quiz, from Leadenhall Market to Borough Market.
“We really enjoyed it and our guide (Scamander) had a lot of knowledge to tell us about which was really fun! It was a nice walk and our guide was passionate about everything!”
Coach trip from London to Stonehenge and Bath, with guided commentary, UNESCO sights, flexible admission upgrades, and time to explore.
“So worth the trip! We had an amazing guide Leon who had us all laughing throughout the trip. Stonehenge is a site to be seen and I would love to return to Bath as it is such a quaint and beautiful city. We had time to shop, eat lunch, and see the Roman baths. Our bus driver was great as well. Take this trip, you won’t regret it.”
Original Harry Potter Locations Tour in London: a 2-hour easy walk with house sorting, trivia games, and filming-location sights, ending in Covent Garden.
“Jonas did an excellent job and provided interesting information about both London’s history and the Harry Potter movies and also some useful advice on how to get around the city and where to go. My kids were glued to his side absorbing everything he had to tell. They wanted me to add that they thought his questions were too easy, though. ;-) All in all, it was a very good experience.”
High-speed Thames speedboat from the London Eye Pier with small-group thrills, landmark views, music, and guided stories.
“Lots of fun! Great tour guide, James, very knowledgeable and funny, and fun captain as well. Would recommend for a fun way to see highlight along the Thames!”
Flexible London sightseeing by double-decker with real-time tracking, three landmark routes, and a hop-on hop-off Thames cruise add-on.
“Was a fabulous day with my daughter, all the bus crew were friendly and helpful. The river cruise interesting.”
Warner Bros Studio Tour from London by coach, with admission and round-trip transfer. Enjoy 4 hours at Hogwarts sets, Platform 9¾.
“Harry potter studio was awesome, but Driver did not turn air on in coach causing several to get car sick. Then dropped us off several blocks from Victoria station at end of trip where the ticket said we would be brought back to.”
By region, by ritual, and by what the weather is doing.
