Informative and friendly walking tour
Lyn_L, Apr 2024
Rosie was a great guide with lots of information to share. We ended up being the only people in the tour, so we were thankful the tour company didn’t cancel our tour! We enjoyed spends the morning with Rosie.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Ah, we absolutely want to make sure you have a fantastic time, either with a full small group or flying solo. So pleased you loved your time with Rozie so much getting early access to the Tower of London and whole host of other regal moments. Cheers for choosing to saunter with US.
Super worth it!

Nathan was an amazing and super-knowledgeable host! We Saw ans learned SO much in such a short amount of time. He handed us our tickets for each location, and that saved us so much hassle. HIGHLY recommended!
We got it all!!
Kathy_C, Nov 2023
Nathan was an incredible guide, filled with immense knowledge on EVERYTHING! My daughter and I keep talking about our amazing time with him. He even noticed action at 10 Downing, where we got to see the queen and she waved to the three of us❤️
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Nathan’s brain is… astounding, isn’t it? And how cool that Queen C gave you a wave… question is, was it the royal wave? Fantastic to hear you loved your Tower of London and Westminster tour so much – thanks for choosing to saunter with US.
Amazing Tour!
Barbara_M, Oct 2023
We had an amazing private tour with Joe! She was personable, a native Londoner so she knew all of the history and communicated this very well. She was fun and very engaged with what she was explaining. We had a great time and would highly recommend her.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
No scripts, just locals who know this city like the backs of their hands – that’s what we always set out to provide and we’re happy you had that exact experience with the wonderful Jo. Thanks for choosing to Saunter with US.
Lots to see, great info...
William_P, Sep 2023
Lots to see, great info and venues. Good history & opportunity to walk around, could've used the guide more inside the venue
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Aw, so great to hear that you enjoyed this. The Tower of London section is self-guided but so happy to hear that the guided portions were everything you wanted. Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts and for choosing to saunter with US.
The sites of London
roseann_o, May 2023
This was an amazing walking tour with Jeramy. We saw so much and learned so much! We walked the route of the coronation, 2 days before. We took the Uber boat up the Thames River with Jeremy pointing out sites we could see on our own later as well. Would 100% recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
We. Love. To. Hear. It. Couldn’t be happier that your time in London with Jeremy was well spent (and you even got to get in on the Coronation action too). Thanks ever so much for choosing to saunter with US.
Wonderful views and great guide. Nathan
Julie_H, Apr 2023
It was great. We got there and were the only ones. Our guide has so much knowledge. Nathan clearly knows so many facts he shared with us.
Response from Host, May 2023
Ahhhh Nathan. How do you fit so many things in that head of yours? This is a really lovely review, thanks for leaving it. Oh, and choosing to saunter with US, of course.
The very Best
bcevans, Mar 2023
Nathan was a most informative guide. He gave us an abundance of pertinent facts and stories at all the appropriate places. We loved the tour. The tour length and sights included were all just right. Besides we had great weather.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Excellent experience
Marianne_L, Mar 2023
This is a great tour, Nathan is an excellent tour guide, and a wealth of information. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
We love to hear it. So happy you had such a good time with Tour Guide Extraordinaire Nathan - if there’s something this guy doesn’t know, we have yet to find it. Thanks so much for these kind words and of course, choosing to saunter with US.
Wonderful Tour of theTower of London, a riverboat ride on the Thames!
William_H, Jan 2023
Our guide Nathan was Amazing! It was a cold yet sunny day in London in late January and my wife and I were the only two persons on the tour. The Tower of London and the fabulous Crown Jewels had almost no one there that day, so we had a great time exploring the Royal grounds. Our guide Nathan had an encyclopedic memory of London history! Don’t miss this tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Oof, don’t you just love those days when everything works out like that? What a fantastic experience to not only have the tour to yourselves, but nearly the Crown Jewels too! So so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with the ever-knowledgeable Nathan and thanks so much for choosing to saunter with US!
Lots of history crammed into a morning!
Kara_S, Oct 2022
We had a wonderful time with Nathan - he was so knowledgeable and also had to pivot a few times based on London traffic and road closings. We even delayed our walk at one point in the hopes of seeing royalty, and sure enough we did! Really recommend.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Absolutely love this. Our beloved, whirling, metropolis offers a unique experience each time with the right guide to lead the way. So happy to hear Nathan was the right one for you. We really appreciate you taking the time out to leave us this wonderful review and of course, choosing to saunter with US.
