About this tour
Walk through 2,000 years of history on a private tour of the City of London, from the Roman invasion to the modern financial district. Along the way, see landmarks including the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Monument to the Great Fire, while hearing how this historic center has changed over time.
Your guide also leads you beyond the familiar sights to tucked-away private rooms, cellars, and ancient pubs beneath the city's towering buildings. There are opportunities to stop for photos, and on certain days guest speakers share additional stories about the places you visit. Take a break for lunch at a local cafe, coffee shop, or pub; food and drinks are not included.
Meet outside Tower Hill Tube station and discover a more intimate side of the capital. Book your London Highlights Private Walking Tour to explore the city's past and present on foot.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 37% in London means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in London by this score.
