Travel guides and tips

  • London is one of Europe’s most happening cities with plenty to discover and explore. To dive deep into landmarks from bygone eras and contemporary popular attractions and to get the best out of your time in London, guided tours are your best option.
    From Wembley Stadium and Tower of London, to the Shakespeare Globe Theater or even the Warner Bros. Studios, you’re bound to become more familiar with London’s rich and diverse history with your expert local guide. They will accompany you on the tour and enlighten you with interesting stories about the landmark’s history, significance, cultural impact, and general trivia. Additionally, some of the best tours in London may include priority access to the city’s landmarks, allowing you to bypass the queues and save time. 
  • Generally, guided tours in London have an expert guide fluent in English, but on some tours such as a Harry Potter film locations guided tour, you can also opt for languages such as French and Italian. You may also find some guided tours in German, Mandarin, French, and more languages, on purchase of the right experience.
  • It depends on what you opt for. While some tours offer audio guides for self-guided tours, others may offer an expert tour guide, and a few may offer both. For experiences which offer audio guides to London’s best attractions, you can pick it up at the entrance of the landmark and explore at your own pace, and gain insightful knowledge. Often your guides may be available in multiple languages like English, Italian, French, Mandarin, Spanish, and more. Tours such as the Churchill War Rooms tour with audio guide, a London self-guided audio tour, or the Westminster Abbey guided Houses of Parliament audio guide tour are some experiences worth trying out.  
  • Some guided tours may include transport based on what you opt for, while others might not. Transport may vary from hotel pickups to coach transfers. You can check this information on your ticket. The ones that do include transfers are of two kinds: pick-up from a hotel or a common meeting point in the city. The Spirit of London tour and the London Experience with lunch are a few guided tours in London that include transport. 
  • Yes. Most guided tours include skip-the-line entry to various attractions in London, allowing you to breeze past the long queues and enter with ease. Your guide would escort you past the queues and accompany you through the entry before diving into a fun and informative tour. Experiences such as Shakespeare Globe Theatre London, tickets for Royal Observatory Greenwich, and more are a few that offer skip-the-line entry.

ticketing - very easy to do and to use for all our reservations (3 - Frameless, the Eye, day tour) The guide for the day tour (Guided magic of London Tour with Afternoon tea at Harrods) was excellent. The bus was very confortable, and because we were the only ones going to Harrods, they took us with a private taxi to Harrods and up to the "Georgian".

The tour of the various places around Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guard. Too bad the guide didn't speak French. For such a touristy city, it would be nice if the guides were multilingual. So we didn't understand the various explanations. We followed the group.

Excellent Tower of London site! Cruise on the Thames a little short (we'd have liked to get closer to London Bridge and Parliament)! Time- and data-saving tip: download the audio guide before the cruise 🚢
