Highly recommended - We had a great tour with Tim C. Very knowledgeable, funny tour guide.
We can highly recommend the tour if you want to see the Changing of the Guard, are interested in history or if you just want to have an overview of some of the main sights of London.
In case you didn't know: The tour is included in the City Pass. We managed to get a spot one week in advance.

only had 24 hours & yet we felt like we got to see it all! - Babs was our tour guide and we absolutely couldn’t have been luckier! She was SO personable, told hilarious stories, incredible facts & showed us more of London than we could’ve ever imagined!!! We were only able to be in town for less than 24 hours and this was the PERFECT TOUR for us to dive into the city seeing as much as possible. We will absolutely be recommending this experience to all our friends and family back home. Thanks Babs!!!

Indeed a “Top Tour”, excellent guide, fast pace - Just went on this tour today, May 29th, 2024 with Shing as our Tour Guide. The meeting point and booking confirmation were clearly communicated to the guest. The actual meeting point organizing wasn’t super confidence inspiring, but once we all got organized, our group with our guide, Shing, things started to get better. This is not an easy tour, as there is probably 18 kms of walking, including elements of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Place (check the days/dates to ensure it’s occurring). Shing was knowledgeable enough to have our group ready for when King Charles III left his residence to go to Buckingham Place to attend to his work. Some of us got video of this from our roadside location. Just make sure you have excellent walking shoes, food & drink as needed, as this goes at a very fast pace, with very challenging crowded areas to navigate. The sights covered just helped to accelerate my immersion to London. Thanks, Shing & London Top Tours!

Fun Walking Tour for First Timers in London - Loved this walking tour. The tour guide named Shing was very knowledgeable. Changing of palace guards has always been my favourite thing to watch in London although I’ve seen it more than once prior to this tour. Took great photos along the way. Highly recommended from me. :)

Recommended to first time London trips - The tour was an awesome experience. The whole tour was 4 and half hrs long, started from Green Park and ended at Borough market. Tim C made the tour and the historic background very interesting filled with fun facts and jokes. There are small breaks for washroom and snacks. My daughter definitely enjoyed it.
