Join this original walking tour to see the best selected highlights of the City Of London and get skip-the-line tickets to one of its top attractions: The Shard. See the ancient, mediaeval and the modern side of the English capital. Discover the secrets of the historic centre and its iconic landmarks. Soar high in the sky above the River Thames! During the 3-hour walking tour you will see the best of London. Stroll around the very heart of the city in the company of an enthusiastic Expert-Guide and discover the most important places. See the Tower Hill Memorial and hear a little bit of WWI and WWII history. Discover the remnants of the city’s Roman heritage by the London Wall and see the monumental Tower Of London, which served as a royal residence to the House of Tudor. Take a stroll along the River Thames and cross the iconic Tower Bridge. Walk past the very modern City Hall and see also the remarkable HMS Belfast, built for the Royal Navy. The main attraction of this exclusive tour will be a visit to The Shard, also known as the Shard of Glass and the Shard London Bridge.

The experience was very pleasant. The guide was on time and very kind to help us find the meeting point. The tour was rich in information and the guide was very friendly. Interacting all the time with questions and fun facts. It was a great opportunity to get to know London and all the hidden jams. The tour was 3 hours walk but it was a very easy walk. Would highly recommend.

When I took the private guided tour I learned so much about London city from its history, to the architecture that surrounded me. It was nice to have a VIP experience with a guide that has trained, and had a huge knowledge about the city. Also, it was great that the tickets to the Asgard were included and bought in advance. This allowed me to skip the line and head straight up for sunset. I did the 3 pm tour and it worked like a charm to be on time for sunset

You get a very good personal 3-hour-"stroll" through London. The tourguide is fluent in the choosen language (german in my case) and really explains very good - about history, special events, Harry Potter etc. You get explanations to typical sights and also to lesser or unknown points of interest in London; and the tourguide is also flexible in respect of what you want to visit. The Shard is offers a fascinating view and complements the tour very good (visits to other sights are not included). So everything is excellent - if there wouldn't be the exorbitant price! I know, how much a tour-guide is earning approximately per hour, and it is easy to find out, how much you pay for a fast-lane-entrance to "The Shard" - so I think, there are a few institutions too much which have to get paid by the exorbitant tour-price. Only for this reason my rating is only four stars and not five...
