About this tour

London’s animals have shaped the city’s stories, landmarks, and green spaces for centuries. On this 3-hour London Animal Stories Tour, follow the clues they left behind, from Trafalgar Square’s famous lions to tales of a mole that changed royal lives.

As you explore the heart of London with a professional guide, hear how animals figured in the city’s World War II history and discover the flora and fauna found along the way. The tour also traces changing attitudes toward animals, reaching back to the 12th century, when King Edward III restricted the wearing of fur by members of the royal family and the clergy. It’s an unusual way to see familiar places through a fresh lens, with stories that connect wildlife, history, and London’s streets.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
