    What's included

    Included

    • Gossipy historical walking Tour
    • Qualified City of Westminster Tour guide

    What you'll see and do

    1. Royal Academy of Arts

      We start by visiting a picture of Lucifer patron saint of the idle and self indulgent. Some of the rich have used their wealth to improve the lives of their fellow human beings. None of these good people make any appearance on this tour! This tour is designed to enable you to hear stories of lust, greed and vanity from centuries past.

      10 minutes here

    2. Burlington Arcade

      London's first shopping mall is very high end and sets the tone for the interactive walking experience that you have just started. Maybe think a little bit about if money is no object how might it effect your morals?

      10 minutes here

    3. Sotheby's

      One of the world's most exclusive auction houses has witnessed many a scandal over the years. The neighbourhood is where Nell Gwyn one of the most famous mistresses of the Merry Monarch Charles 11 lived. Nell had a particular talent for money grabbing in all matters to do with the King. Do you admire her ambition in a world which had few opportunities for women or do you dislike her morals?

      Pass by without stopping

    4. St. James's Palace

      Love games took place here between the Tudor King Henry V111 and his second wife Anne Boleyn five hundred years ago. Subsequent centuries were to be equally scandal filled!!!

      Pass by without stopping

    5. St. James's Park

      Charles 1 walked here to his execution on a cold January morning in 1649. Some people remember him as a Martyr Saint, but is it possible to be a Saint when you knowingly lie? Much else that has happened in this Park over the centuries is far from Saintly!!!

      10 minutes here

    6. The Old Queen is Anne from three hundred years ago most recently brought back to life in the film `The Favourite` which depicted her as part of a bitter lesbian love triangle. Are we just discussing gossip History for a bit of fun or is there something to learn about human nature here?

    The devil is in the detail (literally!)

    I first experienced Terry's unique guided tour four years ago with British friends and we thoroughly enjoyed a fun and informative couple of hours. This time I introduced a group of European friends who were delighted to have their long held suspicions about posh rich Londoners confirmed! This is a wonderful way to explore beyond the swanky shop fronts of Mayfair and appreciate the details of the area's history. Terry's clear enjoyment of the accompanying story-telling makes this tour all the more memorable. Thank you once again!

    Response from the operator: Thanks Debroah - great to meet u and friends again on Rich people behaving badly

    A tour of London with a difference

    Terry has created a very fascinating tour about the antics of the rich and the famous from London's past and shows how they've left their mark on London today. A great tour for people who are already familiar with the mainstream landmarks in London or those who fancy a tour which is off the beaten track.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Stuart - enjoyed your company on Rich people behaving badly!

    Fantastic fun fact filled tour

    Terry provided a wonderfully engaging enthusiastic and informative tour. Absolutely fascinating trail around London, and even revealed a hidden gem of an area we’d never been to before, and we’re South Londoners. It was part of a ‘birthday treat’ and was the highlight of the day. Thanks again Terry.

    Response from the operator: Very kind - thank u - glad u both enjoyed Rich people behaving badly on your birthday celebration

    Fun and Educational Tour!

    We had a wonderful time on this tour. Whereas other tours just tell about buildings and battles, this tour focused on colorful royals. Terry told fabulous stories about William IV and other royals while showing us where they lived and played. The two hours flew by. Highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: And greatly enjoyed your company on Rich behaving badly -I think u mean George 1V not William 1V !!!

    Rich people behaving badly: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Rich people behaving badly cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Rich people behaving badly take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Rich people behaving badly worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 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 Rich people behaving badly?

    +

    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 Rich people behaving badly suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rich people behaving badly?

    +

    Around 16 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rich people behaving badly 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 Rich people behaving badly?

    +

    Included: Gossipy historical walking Tour; and Qualified City of Westminster Tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Rich people behaving badly?

    +

    Burlington Gardens Entrance not Piccadilly. Nearest tubes Green Park and Piccadilly Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Rich people behaving badly offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Rich people behaving badly wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
