London may be one of the most open and liberal cities in the world now, but did you know that our capital has a long, dark history of witchcraft and persecution? On this immersive theatre walking tour you will discover just that as your guide unveils to you the dark, devilish and downright unjust history of witchcraft in London. You will meet some of the forgotten women who have been branded and persecuted as witches throughout the ages in our city - from medieval healers and Elizabethan devil-worshippers to pagan priestesses and wartime mediums. They’ve come back, and they want their stories to be heard… Explore the places that these 'witches' were associated with, and some of the locations that were host to occult activity, including a pagan temple, right in the heart of the city! This journey promises to be spooky and moving with a little bit of black humour thrown in for good measure. So are you ready to be bewitched by London ?

Another fabulous tour with Maria!
Hex and the City was our 2nd tour with Herstorical Tours, and it it was as fabulous as the first (Harlots and Strumpets and Tarts, Oh My!). We are an inclusive women's group based in North London, and Maria's storytelling and passion for her subject is spot on for us. We had great feedback from the group and hope to book another tour very soon.

A highly recommended unique London experience
I took the Hex and the City tour about witches in England. It was one of the most engaging tours I’ve ever taken in London. Maria makes peculiar stories come to life with surprising street theatre and great explanations that put everything in context. It was a small group tour that was easy to follow. I felt I learnt so much, even though I had very little prior knowledge.
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Best tour in London - entertaining and informative
Fascinating insight into England and Londons history. Delivered in a very balanced, well researched and very entertaining manner with the guide taking on different character roles along your journey. If you only have time for one walking tour check out herstorical tours
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Hex and the City Immersive Walking 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 Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hex and the City Immersive Walking 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hex and the City Immersive Walking 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
What is included in Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour?
+
Included: Guided Walking Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour?
+
Meet outside the main Farringdon station (Tube and mainline) entrance, by Timpson shop. You will see your High Priestess Guide wearing a long blue dress. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Hex and the City Immersive Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
