What you'll see and do
Westminster Abbey
Your tour will start in the City of Westminster, and in the company of a kid-friendly professional guide you will learn interesting facts about London's history and culture through fun stories and activities, designed to entertain children so that they wont get bored during the walk. You will see the beautiful Gothic facade of Westminster Abbey, one of the most famous churches in England and the most important religious building in all of the United Kingdom. The Abbey is a UNESCO heritage site and the traditional venue for the coronation of Britain's kings and queens.
20 minutes here
Houses of Parliament
Right next to Westminster Abbey stand the majestic Houses of Parliament, another recognizable London landmark which serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Of course, you will also see Big Ben, the world’s largest chiming clock. With its four faces and 11 floors, it stands 315ft (96 metres) tall.
20 minutes here
Whitehall
While you walk along Whitehall, your guide will show and explain to you all the most famous monuments and buildings you will see on the way, such as the statue of Winston Churchill, Downing Street and Horse Guards Parade. Your guide will fascinate you with anecdotes about British History, a much better way to learn history than from a text book!
20 minutes here
Buckingham Palace
You will then reach Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of British sovereigns since 1837, and today the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. It serves as the venue for many royal events and ceremonies, and it is a focal point for significant national celebrations and commemorations. Here you can witness the evocative ceremony of the Changing of the Guard (if scheduled on the day of the tour and weather permitting), and your guide will know where to stand in order to have the best possible view, as it can be very crowded.
30 minutes here
City of London
Using the “Tube”, the oldest metro system in the world, you will reach the City of London, the site of the most ancient part of Greater London. Here you will be able to see the remains of a section of the old London Wall, fortifications built by the Romans at the time of the great Roman Empire to protect the city.
30 minutes here
St. Paul's Cathedral
Moreover, you will see St. Paul's Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece and the location of several national celebrations. With its huge dome, it provides another iconic feature of the London skyline and is known across the world.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide take?
+
Plan for about 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 Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide?
+
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 Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide?
+
Around 0 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of London Sightseeing Private Tour with a Kid-Friendly Guide 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.
