Davey Peacock was out tour guide and we had a wonderful experience. We saw Changing of the Guard and he maneuvered us through crowds and got us where we needed to be quickly and efficiently. Very knowledgeable and fun to be with. At the end, he ensured we got tot he transportation we desired to the location we were heading to continue our day and gave us his cell number if we had any other questions or needed recommendations while we were in London.

10 out of 10! Davey was absolutely amazing! I saw so much that I would have never been able to find by myself! I recommend doing to Day one so you know where everything is! Loved it

My tour guide Davey was beyond exceptional and an absolute wealth of knowledge. I couldn't have asked for a better day and had a truly once in a lifetime tour of London. I highly recommend Davey if you want an enjoyable experience with a very personable tour guide.

We had the most incredible day with Rocío as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, and great at explaining the rich history of England. Our teen soaked it all in and said the tour was fun. For a teen to say seven hours of walking and listening to history is fun is a testament to Rocio’s awesomeness. Her use of her iPad enhanced the tour experience as well.

Rocio was a PERFECT guide for our first time in London. She was so knowledgeable of the history, great at explaining things, and you can tell she really has a love for what she does! We were nervous doing a walking tour in February, but there was a perfect balance of inside and outside for us. We love to explore cities on foot, but also wanted someone who knew the ins and outs…and this tour was exactly that. A perfect go to for first time Londoners or even those who are experienced in the city. I can absolutely guarantee you will be shown a new side to the beautiful city! Our itinerary was perfectly customized to what we wanted and the memories this day created will last a lifetime!

the tour was excellent and Davey went above and beyond. However, do not book with Viator they are not reliable go directly to the agency!

Davey was an incredible guide! The weather wasn’t ideal (raining & super windy at times) but he held our family’s attention easily with interesting & educated historical & current facts & lots of “so I’ve been told” anecdotes. My daughters especially enjoyed the gory details of executions past - they enjoyed reciting them over our lunch much to my dismay. Lots of great recommendations as well. Would definitely recommend this tour!
LuciaLawson, Nov 2023
Our tour guide showed up early and was very knowledgeable. He walked us to the top sites and we took a taxi to one part of the tour (which I offered to pay for versus using public transportation). I feel as a local, he provided valuable insight and details that we wouldn’t have if we had done the tour on our own. Some of the information was graphic which is why I couldn’t give it 5 stars. Although myself & my teen didn’t mind the level of details provided, my mother and young son felt it was too violent and unnecessary. Overall I really enjoyed the tour and guide.
Karen_N, Oct 2023
The tour was exactly wanted we wanted, which was a walking tour of all of the London tourist spots. Rocio gave us a perfect overview with just the right amount of facts and details. We were here for a short time and it was exactly what we needed. Rocio was personable and funny and very knowledgeable. We all agrees she made it an excellent experience! She communicated with us to tailor the tour and was flexible with what we needed. I highly recommend Rocio!
Tara_R, Oct 2023
If we could give this tour more than 5 stars we would! Our tour guide Rocio was absolutely the reason, navigating us effortlessly through a full day of London sites and history. My 10 year old loved everything she had to share, my 70 year old mom learned new things - even though she’s been here multiple times, and my husband and I had a blast seeing London through in a new way! Book this tour immediately! Thank you Rocio! You’re the BEST!
