About this tour

As you explore, hear how and why the churches were built, and discover the kings, queens, castles, and conflicts that shaped the country.

Admission costs to all venues are included, and the tour runs from the meeting point through to its end point. Find Dr Geoff by his blue Historic Tours of England lanyard.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 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 7.4. Top 30% in London means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in London by this score.
