Unusual and fun walking tour
Such a fun and unusual way to see a different side of London! The Cloak and Dagger Tour is quirky, a little gruesome and completely different from the usual walking tours. We loved the mix of history, humour and theatre, with characters appearing along the way and bringing some of London’s darker and stranger stories to life. It was entertaining, interesting and definitely kept everyone engaged, including the teenagers.

Disgustingly Fun
What a wonderful tour! Mary was an amazing guide and had fabulous energy. Dont miss this tour. Best in London and way better than the bigger guys.

Best Southwark tour! Dark history landmarks. Mary has raw, relentless energy and is brilliant. Book it!
If you want a wildly fun, gritty, and completely unfiltered night out in London, book The Cloak and Dagger Tour immediately. You explore the historic Southwark underbelly along the Thames, uncovering dark history like public executions and medieval poverty around Southwark Cathedral, the Clink, and Winchester Palace ruins. What makes it spectacular is that real, grimy characters literally ambush you from dark alleys along the way! Do yourself a massive favor: brace yourself, leave your comfort zone behind, and cross your fingers that you get Mary as your guide. She is a total powerhouse, brilliantly unhinged, and hands down the best guide in the city!

A fascinating eye-opener!
Such a brilliant tour! Mary will teach you so much about Southwark's past, with lots of humour! She's amazing. You'll gain a much clearer understanding of how horrendous and disturbing some people's lives were back in the day. You'll honestly be so grateful you weren't been born back then. Gives you lots to think about. Totally worthwile!

Superb, engaging, must do it!
A tale through the ages round Southwark. Gruesome, Gory, not for the faint of heart. People come to life, questions are encouraged and sometimes volunteers are required- but don’t worry everyone comes out alive having had their eyes opened. This was informative, and one of the best walking tours around - and it starts in and ends at the pub - what isn’t there to like about that! And not just any pub - you won’t see anything like this anywhere else.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 $20 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 924 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?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The Cloak and Dagger Tour in London?
+
Around 323 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 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.
