About this tour
Follow London’s South Bank through two thousand years of history on a private walking tour that reveals a quieter, less-visited side of the city. This three-hour London Mayflower Private Walking Tour brings together grand landmarks and unexpected stories along the River Thames.
Walk past theaters, churches, and cathedrals, then explore the area’s connections to palaces, prisons, markets, and the birthplace of America. Along the way, hear about the people and events that shaped this stretch of the river, from smugglers and bodysnatchers to engineering marvels. A local professional guide leads the private experience, with hotel pickup and drop-off available if you select that option. The tour begins outside Mansion House Tube Station and runs in all weather, so wear suitable clothing.

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.
