About this tour

Along the way, hear about the people and events that shaped those infamous days, while taking in the City’s historic streets and landmarks. The 90-minute walk is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting point is a short walk from Barbican Tube and Elizabeth Line stations.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • 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: this tour scores 7.7. Top 19% in London means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in London by this score.
