Fun and so informitive
I prefer to take tours that most toursits dont flock to. Last night I took this tour and have to say it was totally outstanding. My guide Flora was the BEST. She,was so informed on everything to do with the tour and it was a real learning experience. I got to see areas, things that I never would have on my own. I really learned a lot about Englands history and the darker side of London. I highly recommend it. Cant say enough about what a great guide Flora was!

Naughty London

Absolutely loved it!
We were a private group of four and had a blast with Valery! Such a wonderful, kind, interesting person. And the theme was fun. We’re definitely going to join other tours of hers as well!
via Tripadvisor
Great and Unique
“Valery is a great host with a unique perspective on London. This experience is a great way to see another side of history. Also great conversation along the way. Really fun evening!”
via Tripadvisor
Boring walking tour
This is just a boring walking tour with one stop at a sex toy store. With a little imagination by the guide this could have been a decent tour. Do not waste your time.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets cost?
+
Prices start at $184 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 Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets?
+
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 Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets?
+
Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sex & London : Scandals, Mistresses & Secrets 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.
