What you'll see and do
Westminster Abbey
This guided walking tour of the British capital captures the best of two worlds - the royal London of Westminster as well as the ancient London of the City. After meeting at the front steps of St Martin-in-the-Field's Church, on the east side of Trafalgar Square, we walk through Trafalgar Square admiring Nelson's Column. The large bronze lions at the base of the Column are apparently made from the melted-down canons captured by Nelson at the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. We proceed down London's famous Mall and pass Henry VII's St. James Palace. It is here, that we are able to witness the traditional Changing of The Guard. After this wonderful photo op, we walk down towards Buckingham Palace, the official residence of The Queen of England. State ceremonies take place here, but the Queen spends most of her time at Windsor Castle. We cut through beautiful St. Jame's Park on our way to Horse Guards Parade, another great photo op to capture the Queen's Life Guards in their splendid regal red uniforms. We pass by Banqueting House and the official residence of the British Prime Minister at No.10 Downing Street. We are headed towards Westminster Abbey where royal weddings take place and then proceed to the Houses of Parliament and famous Big Ben. We are now more than ready to jump into a black London cab to take us to a traditional English pub lunch.

Best of London Tour
We had the most wonderful day on the Best of London Tour. Our guide was Katie and she was so warm, friendly and incredibly informative. We learnt so much and we went out on a Sunday which seemed to be a good day to go - the streets weren't so congested. We stopped for a delicious lunch . Its an all day walking tour so wear your most comfortable shoes. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Katie!

Best of London tour
We only had 1 day to explore London. This tour gave us everything and more! We walked all over London, and even took a black cab to lunch as part of our tour! We had so much fun.

Great experience on The Best Of London Day Tour!
I traveled overseas for my first time. This tour was suggested by my amazing travel agent. I had a great experience and learned quite a bit from Mushin. Not only the many years of history, but some modern explanations as we toured some of the famous places , views and just plain awe at somethings. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a little knowledge and show around old and new London. Jerry Jones Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of London Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Best of London Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $345 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best of London Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Best of London Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of London Private Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best of London Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of London Private Day Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of London Private Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
