About this tour

Discover London’s landmark sights and layered history on a private walking tour led by a local guide. Over five hours, follow a route through the heart of the city, from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Along the way, take in St James’s Palace and Park, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Churchill War Rooms. If the timing allows, watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, then enjoy a short lunch break featuring British cuisine. The tour description also names St Paul’s Cathedral, Tate Modern, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, and the London Eye among the city sights to explore. Public transportation is included to help connect the route, while the private format gives you your guide’s attention throughout. The meeting point is near Charing Cross Underground Station, beside Trafalgar Square. London Private Walking Tour offers a personal way to see celebrated landmarks and discover less-traveled corners. Bring comfortable walking shoes and get ready to experience the capital at street level.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 50% in London means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in London by this score.
