    Entertaining and factual...

    Very informative and entertaining. The info is a bit grisly, but factual, and that's what we wanted - and it was presented in an entertaining way by Olly & Co. Even my 16yr old son enjoyed it, and he enjoys little at this age lol. Thanks guys!

    Maggie brought the streets of London to life

    Went on the Cloak and Dagger tour with a friend and we both loved it. Our guide Maggie is a fantastic storyteller — she doesn't just recite facts, she performs them, and her acting brought every stop to life. I learned so much about London's darker history that I'd never come across before, and the way she built the atmosphere and emotion into each story kept us hooked the whole way through. Well paced, well researched, and great fun. Highly recommended — and if you can, get Maggie as your guide. Well done!

    Beware if you have a sensitive stomach

    We had a terrific tour with Maggie yesterday, as locals it was our first time doing a historic walking tour but it was really worth the time! Fascinating and disgusting details were shared…. some may say life changing… and perhaps it is, if you eat certain things, you might not anymore…. Maggie was a great story teller and her companion the peasant and the murderer/thief (sorry skilled worker) was fantastic and really funny too, they did make a great duo.

    The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London cost?

    +

    Prices start at $27 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 930 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    Around 326 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    Included: Guide. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    Departure Point: The George Inn Directions: 2 min walk from London Bridge Underground Station (Borough Market Exit) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London 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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    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 The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London 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.

    What do travelers say about The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?

    +

    Across 930 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
