About this tour

Bring London’s royal stories to life on a private family-friendly walking tour, where children can follow fun activities as you explore the city’s landmark streets. Your guide shares tales of kings and queens while you admire Buckingham Palace, Westminster Palace, and Big Ben from the outside. The London Family-Friendly Walking Tour is offered in different lengths, so you can choose the pace and experiences that suit your family.

The 2-hour option focuses on a walk through central London. Choose the 3-hour option to add a 30-minute London Eye ride, or make it a 4-hour outing with the Eye and a 40–60-minute Thames boat cruise. On the cruise, afternoon departures return from Westminster after reaching Tower Bridge Quay; select a morning 4-hour tour for the full route to Greenwich. Your guide does not join you on the Eye or cruise, but provides tickets and practical information. The London Family-Friendly Walking Tour also offers a chance to catch the Changing of the Guard when you choose a suitable start time.

Pick the option that fits your plans and discover London through stories, sights, and shared family moments.

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.
