Historical City Of London Private Sightseeing Day Tour

Had a wonderful time traveling London with Douglas. He was an incredible guide-so knowledgeable and patient throughout our visits to The Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey. We also did Dover and Canterbury Cathedral on a separate day. He even took us to his favorite local restaurants!! What a way to round out the experience !! I highly recommend his tours.

Nik was an exceptional tour guide and truly made our time in England unforgettable! He is incredibly knowledgeable, smart, fun, caring, and understanding, and has a wonderful ability to connect with people of all ages. His wealth of knowledge brought history to life and made every part of the experience interesting, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone in our family. What impressed us most was how Nik made a point to connect individually with every member of our family. He was attentive to everyone’s interests and questions and somehow managed to make learning history fun again! We were fortunate to have Nik guide us through our London City tour, Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath, and each experience was fantastic. I highly recommend Nik without any reservation. He is not only an outstanding guide but also a genuinely caring and thoughtful person. We can’t wait to return and book another tour with him!

Nik was a world class tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, funny, cheeky, and great with the whole family. We were astonished with the depth of his knowledge, his animated personality, and his skill in delivering so much interesting historical information. Request Nik as your guide, and you will have an incredible experience.

Nik was a wonderful tour guide. Promptly and with a genuine smile and handshake he picked us up at our hotel and took us all around London. He provided excellent information on the history of London and chose an excellent place for us to have lunch. Nik provided lots of opportunities for great photos and was an excellent photographer too. We had lots of time at each location and didn’t feel rushed at all. We were able to make some wonderful memories on our day out with Nik that will not be forgotten. Thank you Nik for the wonderful day!

This was the absolute best tour of London we had! Nik was our guide and he was beyond amazing!!!! It was a full day, Nik was very accommodating for our family of 8. He was super knowledgeable, very polite and patient and awesome to talk to. We were laughing the entire time. We learned so much about each of the stops we made that we didn’t want the tour to end. He actually was so good we booked another tour to Stonehenge and Bath and requested Nik but unfortunately he was booked for several weeks. Nik went above and beyond on this tour and for our family. My 79 year old MIL (with a bit of mobility issues) came with us and anytime she had to stop and rest, Nik would stay with her and make sure she was comfortable. He took the time to get to know us and we had the best time!! Highly recommend this company and make sure to ask for Nik!!!

This tour is excellent way to see all of London in a day. The guides are so knowledgeable and make the day so fun and enjoyable you won't regret it.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Kingdom Tours, and especially with our guide, Nick! From start to finish, the day was seamless, informative, and truly memorable. Nick brought the history of London to life in a way that felt engaging, fun, and never overwhelming. His knowledge is incredible, but what really stood out was his ability to tailor the tour to exactly what we wanted—mixing iconic landmarks with hidden gems we never would have found on our own. He handled all the logistics effortlessly, making the day completely stress-free. Whether we were exploring historic sites, hearing fascinating stories, or getting great local recommendations, Nick made every moment count. If you’re looking for a private tour in London, don’t think twice—book with Kingdom Tours and ask for Nick. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip!

Our experience with Kingdom Tours was fantastic from start to finish! My husband spoke with Charles to start planning our trip to London and told him everything we were looking to see and accomplish during our visit. Charles put together 3 days of private tours with a guide and transportation, plus we had transfers from the airport and then to the train station upon leaving London. Moe and Kareem were our drivers for the transfers, and they were both very personable and safe drivers. Our tour guide/driver for the three days was Douglas, who was such a character but also very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and even took us to see things we didn't even know about. He was always sure to get great pictures for us, telling us where to stand or how to pose to get the best ones! He was very patient with all our bathroom stops and our idiosyncrasies. We were delighted to have Douglas keep us on track and on time with everything. We told him about the must-sees on certain days, and he figured out a way for us to make it to everything! After spending 3 days and probably close to 30 hours with him, Douglas felt like a close friend, and we were very comfortable with him. We only wished we could have taken him with us to Paris as well! Please don't hesitate to contact Kingdom Tours and let them show you London in a very organized and classy way.

Douglas was an amazing guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about all the places we went. Stonehenge, Roman Baths, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London and much more. Highly recommend

Booked a private tour experience for family and friends. This was the first time we have traveled to London. The tour was top quality, legit would do it again tomorrow if we had the opportunity. The team was fantastic, comic relief, knowledge about the city, and provided a once of a life time experience. They were able to schedule lunch at a local pub same day and provide the ability to see top London spots. Even scheduling the process was easy and fairly priced. Shout out to Nik and Usman for an awesome experience!

We had an amazing day touring with Nik. From the moment he picked us up he was able to engage a 15 year-old, a 10-year-old and two adults and had us all laughing and smiling. We stoped at Blenheim Palace, Burford, and Oxford. Before each stop, he gave us a great historical overview of each place and things to look out for. We had plenty of time at each location, and in Oxford he walked us around to see some of the sites we may have overlooked on our own. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with him! The car was clean, cool, and comfortable! Such a great value and would highly recommend to anyone, especially families with kids and teens. Nik was absolutely fantastic at getting them engaged!

Our full day London with Kingdom Tours was wonderful. Our guide Nik did everything possible to make our experience one we’ll always remember. I highly recommend Kingdom Tours.

Our tour guide Jay was absolutely fantastic! He was super knowledgeable, took great photos, super safe and comfortable driver, and was incredibly friendly.

Day tour of London was fantastic! Nik is an excellent guide! He makes sure you hit it all, gives you great pictures, and is extremely knowledgeable about the different pockets of the city and its history! We thoroughly enjoyed the day and him! Highly recommend Nik as a tour guide-you won’t be disappointed!

We couldn’t imagine a better day. Our guide Nik was amazing. He was very energetic and knowledgeable, as well as exceedingly accommodating. We saw and experienced more than we would have with the first half day tour we book so we are glad we booked this one.

There is no way to fully describe how great our time in London was and it was all due to our guide, Nik. He was beyond thoughtful and attentive and his knowledge of London was impressive, to say the least. Charles, the tour relations manager, also went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. Well done, gentlemen!!

Doug our guide was terrific. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us many extra places. He is also a funny guy and made it a great day!

Amazing 2 day tour with Douglas. We hit all the major sights - Westminster, Tower of London, London Eye, Churchill war rooms, and so much more. Nice car with water, WiFi, charging and all the gadgets. Doug is a wealth of knowledge and really knows his way around London. Thank you for a great 2 days!

We had 3 tours with Douglas who was great! Highly recommend him. We did walking and driving and had a great experience.

We got the jamb-packed tour with Nick! He is a wealth of information and a blast to be touring the city of London! He gave us the royal treatment! We started at the Royal Albert Hall and then walked to the Albert Memorial. Then he took us to Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, River Cruise, and Buckingham Palace to attempt to see the changing of the guard (but it was way too busy to get close!), the Tower Bridge, the site of the ancient scaffold, Tower of London, and the London Eye. It was a long day, but well worth the effort! Nick was incredible! Highly recommend!

This is my 2nd tour with Kingdom Private tours. We were picked at South Hampton Cruise Terminal after our cruise (11 Passengers). We had a we had a wonderful guide the AMAZING Nick! We were whisked to all the famous sites in London including the Tower of London, Royal Palace, Piccadilly and a wonderful Pub lunch! We knocked out so much in day that we could could relax the next few days in London after seeing so many highlights in one day!

Viking excursion all day London Experience was sold out so we looked to book a private tour to see as much as possible during the one-day time we had. Glad we did! Our very knowledgeable driver and guide, Lynton, was great taking us to both the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey and many other view points and famous places in between to include a wonderful pub for a great fish and chips. This is the way to go and it costs no more than the optional tour but includes much more...including drop-off and pick-up at the door of every venue. Do it!

My mother and I loved our experience with Nik as our guide. We only had a couple of days to spend in London and are so glad we opted for this experience. Nik had so much knowledge regarding the history of London. We felt like had we toured London on our own for a week, we would not have even come close to what we learned in 8 hours with Nik. Highly recommend.

We spent 3 amazing days with Nik touring London and a tour out to Stonehenge and the cotswalds. Nik was ab amazing guide with incredible history of all places we went and told the stories in a way that every member of my diverse family could relate to. He understood the needs of every member of my 5 person party - from my teens to my mother. He not only engaged us with guiding information, but was able to relate to everyone and we learned a lot about the British culture as well. He was able to answer every question, respond to every request, taught us things when we didn’t even know what to ask. It was a fabulous 3 days and we will use his services again when we return to London. It was an amazing guided experience.

Highly recommend! When choosing a company for a day tour, I was overwhelmed by all the different companies and options. I spent so much time emailing questions and reading over reviews- if anyone is in a similar quest, I save you the time and say just book with Kingdom Private Tours. You'll be so happy you did! Charles was excellent in helping me plan our day and answered every question I had completely. His recommendations on which attractions to book and the times were great. Our guide, Jay, was wonderful. He was a great driver as well as a guide. We learned so much and truly had a fantastic day.

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Linton, was beyond knowledgeable which made the tour so much more enjoyable. We got a great tour of London with special add-ons like the view of the Prince Albert Monument and Princess Diana's memorial. We also took the tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath with Mo which was equally great!

We had a marvelous time with Kingdom Private Tours. Our guide, Moe, was excellent and took us on three different tours of London and the surrounding area over the course of three days. On our tour around the sights of London, he made sure we saw all the highlights and was very attentive to giving us desired extra time at certain attractions. He was knowledgeable and flexible to our needs. He also took us to Windsor, Lacock (when we asked if we could adjust and go there instead of Stonehenge) and Bath; as well as Oxford on a different afternoon. He was so accomodating and willing to change reservations to suit our plans. Charles was very helpful in setting up our itinerary and had excellent communication when we had questions. We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with Kingdom Private Tours. Thank you, Moe, for showing us the best of London!

Our tour guide Moe was fantastic! He drive and guided 8 of us through Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and the Ancient Roman Baths and town of Bath! Moe is super knowledgeable on the history and key facts about each site. He is funny and has great stories! We highly commend Moe for any of your Site Seeing interests in London! Thx Moe

Douglas was an enthusiastic and friendly tour guide. He managed to shepherd us to a lot of sites in one day, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. He was very prompt, and the vehicle was top notch and filled with amenities.

Our private driver was Lynton...Our day was absolutely perfect! Lynton was part of our family for the day, and he was such an amazing tour guide!!! He had a wonderful knowledge of stories, history, and just the funniest sense of humor! Thanks Lynton, for making our day outside of London a memory we will never forget!

Great day exploring The Tower of London and other sights. Our tour guide Doug was knowledgeable, engaging and professional. Traveling with an adult group including my parents who are in their 70s and he tailored our experience to fit our needs. Highly recommend!

We had the best tour guide that made our daughters feel super special and enjoy their tour of London which included Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Tower bridge and much more with a final stop at Abbey road to recreate the Beatles album cover for our family. Super special!!

This was a great sightseeing day in London with Jay. He carefully planned the day based on our other plans and provided a lot of history and perspective. Our kids were engaged the whole day and enjoyed all the information provided by Jay. Jay is awesome! Definitely recommend this tour company and we will use them (and Jay) again in the future!

Our tour guide and driver, Lynton, made this the most absolutely amazing experience and without a doubt the best activity and day trip of our visit to London! There was so much that we wanted to see and do and Lynton went out of his way to make sure that we could fit everything in. He was so much fun and really made the experience unforgettable!

Kingdom arranged 4 trips for our group. London. Wales,Liverpool and Glsgow. Plus all our transfers. Our group was 39 seniors. Everything went like clockwork. Didn't worry about anything. Fair prices excellent tours. Lots of off the beaten path stops. Jay and his staff are INCREDIBLE!!!

This review covers more than a private tour of London. We spent the better part of 7 days with Kingdom Private Tours. From train to hotel transfers, to tours on Loch Lehman, Edinburg, the Tower of London, Westminster Abby, Liverpool, Stonehenge, Glasgow etc.. The vehicles were immaculate and the driver/ guides (like Jay and Lee) were knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Ask for something and it was done. The tour dialogue was more than the superficial once-over we received on other tours. I rate Kingdom Private Tours a resounding 5 out of five rating. I would use them again without hesitation.

Our driver and guide, Lynton, allowed us to add a quick stop at Abbey Road to recreate the Beatles Album cover. What a great idea.

Booked and paid for this tour 10 days in advance. Thirty-six hours prior to scheduled tour, operator contacted me stating that unfortunately their van was taken off the road due to a break-down and would I be okay changing to a street level tour using the tube (subway). This is known in North America as the "bait and switch". Even if it was legitimate, who would suggest such a tour compared to what I had booked and paid for. After an email exchange, the operated informed me that he was cancelling the tour because he "did not want to tour with someone as rude as me". Fortunately I was able to book with a reputable operator who accommodated my booking with less than 24 hours notice. Definitely not a recommend.

This was a wonderful experience. Out Guide Nik was awesome! He picked us up at Heathrow and he was with us for all out London sightseeing tour days. He was wonderful with my kids 6 and 12 and was very knowledgeable and courteous! Mark our guide for the Windsor and Stonehenge tour was equally wonderful and very knowledgeable. Both guides were always on time at for pick up from our hotel and very accommodating of our needs. I would highly recommend kingdom tours!

What a great experience!! I had two teenage girls (my nieces) traveling with me. Neither had been to London. Mark was our tour guide and my nieces loved him!!! He picked us up at our rented flat. We went straight to the Tower of London. Mark told us to go straight to see the Crown Jewels and it was great advice! When we came out from seeing them, the line was down the hill. Next he drove us around to see the sights until our ticket time to see Westminster Abbey which I requested. After the Abbey, he met us outside and we walked around. It was a fabulous day. The rest of the trip, my nieces mentioned Mark at least 10 times a day!!! He is a great guide and storyteller!!

We hired Kingdom Private Tours for a day tour following a cruise. They picked us up in Southampton, took us on an unbelievable tour of London, and ended the day by dropping us at Heathrow Airport Hotel for our flight the next day. We were a difficult (😂) group of 8 that had prioritized what we wanted to see and do in London. They warned us that it would be a busy day with all of our sightseeing request. Our guides were so amazing that it didn’t feel like a busy day at all. It was unbelievable and we can’t thank them enough for our London in a day adventure. Lynton and Nick are simply the best and the Kienitz Family thanks them so much for the memories. We highly recommend Kingdom Private Tours.

We had a wonderful time with Kingdom Private Tours. Charles spent hours on the phone with my husband planning out the perfect itinerary. We ended up using Kingdom for our airport transfers and tours to : Highclere, the cotswalds, Harry Potter film sites, Stonehenge, Oxford, London highlights, Royal observatory, and more over the course of a week. All the guides we worked with were wonderful. We highly recommend Jai, Linton, and Douglas for any tour you may book. All of them were wonderful and all came on time in clean and large vehicles. They were all very accommodating as I am pregnant and would tire out easily, all of them were sure I had ample bathroom breaks, food breaks with great suggestions, and would drop is off close to sites so I would not tire out from walking. All around a lovely company with the best guides in the business. Do not hesitate to book with Kingdom Private Tours, you simply can’t go wrong! Thanks Charles, Jai, Linton, and Douglas for a memorable Babymoon!!!

We had a wonderful experience using Kingdom Private Tours for a one day tour around London. Lynton was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and interesting. It really made our visit so enjoyable. We had eight people in our group and everyone loved the tour. I would highly recommend the private tour to anyone but especially if you do not have a lot of time to navigate the city yourself.

While we enjoyed seeing the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, our tour was soured by the experience we had with our guide. Dr Jay was our guide and his condescending and brusque tone was not appreciated. With every question, he felt the need to make a belittling comment with his answer that discouraged the group from asking further questions. By the end of tour, we were mostly silent and looking forward to the end of our time. When made aware of how his tone was affecting the group, his response was flippant and dismissive. Instead of trying to rectify the situation, he offered to end the tour early and drop us off.

We spent 3 days with Jai and had a wonderful private tour experience of London, stonehenge, Cotswolds. We cannot say anything but wonderful things. Thanks Jai!! You made our trip very memorable.

David is extremely talented, knowable, great driver, and knew when to get us to the right places, before the crowds. Well worthy of praise. Bespoke England Tours.1

Our tour was arranged by Charles from Kingdom tours. He was very helpful and accommodative of our requests and Quick to respond. We had requested Charles to arrange tours with Jay and he gladly obliged for the outside London tours. We were a group of 8 family members of which 4 seniors and 2 children. Little did we know in the beginning that our tour guide JAY was not just JAY, but Dr Jay, A Doctorate in Archaeology with immense knowledge of history and trivia. What better could we ask for? True to the reviews we read about him, Jay was exceptional in his knowledge of the places he took us around and also very humble and accommodative. He had spoilt us with choices. He took us to a very beautiful, not so crowded and one of the pristine Cotswold villages called Lower Slaughter. Jay took us back to the 1800’s, showed us a 1000 yr old mill on the river. He also toured us around Oxford and gave us some deep insights into the life in the oldest university in England. Overall, Jay was Fantastic! Our 2nd part of the tour with Kingdom tours was the London sightseeing. Jay was unavailable, however he had arranged for another wonderful person called Ash to take us around in his brand new Mercedes V class. The vehicle was barely a week old and made us feel special. Ash was very nice, humble, quite knowledgeable about London and its history and he was also very helpful. We are vegetarian and for lunch on both the days, we had requested him to take us to Indian restaurant and he happily searched for the best place around us. The ever smiling fellow, as though he’s been winning a lottery everyday is a person you would want around you on a holiday! Am really lucky to have been given Ash to make our London tour memorable. Many thanks to Charles who also arranged for a transfer to the airport as an additional service part of the package and also gave a good discount in the package. Thanks guys for making my tour memorable
