For individual groups up to 30 people - the fun and least expensive way to see London with a professional guide - from only £8* (around $12) per person**

*For your private group of up to 30 persons

You'll ride the London buses, cruise the river Thames, travel by tube (metro/subway), experience the new overhead railway and stroll some of the parks and hidden places that can only be seen on foot.

You'll need to be able to walk reasonably well, and to cope with some stairs/steps from time to time, but it's great fun!! (Wheelchair users are NOT prevented from taking this tour contact me for further information).

Major Sights include full guided-visits to either historic Westminster Abbey or impressive newly restored St Paul's Cathedral, lovely parks and gardens, the Royal Observatory, with the Greenwich Meridien (East/West Line), and Greenwich Village.

FAQ's:

Is the tour ok for the very young or for seniors? Provided they can walk around 3 to 4 miles in the course of a full day, yes! We are often riding - buses, tubes, boat, train - and therefore sitting down. Also, lunch/coffee breaks actually mean that you're on your feet and physically walking much less than you might imagine, but having said all that, if you still have serious doubts about someone's abilities walking-wise, don't do it; choose a bus or driver-guided car tour, instead.

What's the total tour duration? The total tour duration is around 7 hours.

Is a gratuity required? Gratuities are optional, but if your guide has worked hard and everyone's had fun, a gratuity of 10% to 15% would be appropriate.

What if it rains on the day? We will duck and dodge wherever necessary. Obviously picnics are out, but everything else will go as planned - and believe it or not, London only gets around 39'' (a metre) of rain a year, so when it says 'rain tomorrow' in most places, in London it is more likely to be what the locals call 'drizzle', and you are fine with a light raincoat or just an umbrella in summertime when temperatures are often quite high.
