“I do not recommend purchasing your tickets to the Big Bus tour through Viator, if at all. The tour operator did not respond to any of my messages regarding the excursion. Due to the unresponsiveness, we did not get to go on the bus at all, and were not even offered a refund. I feel very ripped off given these tickets were not cheap (and included a boat tour we did not receive either). Take your business elsewhere!”

London at night on an open-top bus with a live guide, passing Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly.
“Perfect length and level of detail in the information provided. The rest of our visit we then saw these places on foot and it was so fun knowing a bit about everything before hitting it on the ground!”
Full-day coach tour from London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford, with live guide and personal headsets. $120 pp.
“This trip was fantastic, as were the tour guide, James, and the driver, Jody. There was just enough time in each spot (about an hour each). It was like James said, "a taster tour," a taste of each destination but not a full-blown tour. It is enough if you're on a time-crunch. I was able to quickly tour around, buy souvenirs, and buy a snack/drink or use the bathroom at each destination. You can always come back one day if you really like a place and tour it in depth. Also, James is SUPER knowledgeable. An excellent guide who even tells you the entire history of England and the islands…”

Spend a full day in Oxford then step into Warner Bros Harry Potter sets with coach transport, guided walking, and timed free time.
“This was a great experience! I wanted to do an Oxford day trip and a Harry Potter day trip so I was delighted to find a tour that combined the two. The departure was on time and the coach was comfortable. Amber, our guide, was very funny, energetic, and knowledgeable. We had a reasonable amount of time in Oxford (1 hours guided tour plus 2 hours free time) and I felt like I was able to get a sense of the town. It was then about an hours drive to the HP Studio Tour which was a total blast and a highlight of my trip! I thought 4 hours would…”
A 7:30 pm Jack the Ripper walk in Whitechapel with handheld RIPPER-VISION projections, expert storytelling, and a finish near Spitalfields Market.
