Most knowledgeable tours we have attended!
Federico_A
, Jul 2022
I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting London! the tour guide was extremely knowledgable and never felt by any means boring. He catered directly to our liking and seemed to know everything about the city. We were extremely impressed by all the various opportunities he made us aware of! I wish we had another day in the city to explore all the options. I loved how the guide was always informing us about information and history of the city, I feel like our family had never learned more about any place we have visited! I would recommend to anyone visiting to definitely go with full energy, and be willing to follow the lead of the guide, I was astounded by the quantity of things I had never known before, yet perfectly catered to what we wished to see.

Best private tour of London

Stephen,
He was early for the walk and very knowledgeable. He was so friendly and we learned a lot about England. It was one of the best tours we have ever taken. I highly recommend him for a tour of london. Found out he does several different kinds of tours so there are so many to choose from. He has written several books on history of England and was one of the first private tour operators in England. We had so much fun walking the streets of london and learning about all the little ins and outs of london.
Love this tour and the guide was fantastic!

Kevin was a great tour guide! He’s a local that grew up in London. He tailored our tour to our interests and was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with us. He had tons of little funny trivia information that you would never learn from a book or online. He also gave us great recommendations on where to eat and visit after the tour. I highly recommend this tour to get accumulated to London.

Great way to learn about London which is truly an incredible city. Get Stephen as your guide. He was very knowledgeable and modified the tour for us as we went based on what we wanted to see. The flexibility was very appreciated. A must do if you are in London.

Stephen the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and walked at a good pace for me. He allowed ample time to take pictures, and provided a lot of history about London. I could tell he enjoys his job. He texted me 3 days before to confirm the tour, which I REALLY appreciated. It helped ease my mind to know that the tour was a go. I also liked that the tour started at the hotel, and at the end he pointed me in the right direction to Harrod's, which was perfect timing to enjoy lunch at Harrod's. It's a really good walking tour, so wear comfy shoes, I put on 20,261 steps 8.2 miles that day! Thank you Stephen Ye Olde England Tours!

This tour gave us the most amazing experience. Stephan made it easy for us and met us at a train station near where we were staying and off we went. We saw everything! Because this is a personal tour you can make some changes to make sure you see what you want to. My husband and I are more interested in seeing the architecture and learning about the history than going into a museum and looking at artifacts i.e. the crown jewels. Stephan is funny, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and worth every penny or pound. My husband and I have only one regret and that is we wish we would have hired Stephan for an additional day.
Thank you, Stephan we really had a wonderful time and came out of the experience, with a lot more knowledge of London.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
