Sandemans New London Tours

Had Alexis for the old London tour and he was AMAZING! Highlight of the trip! Learned so much and took us down very cool quiet, hard to find areas

When you have a day layover, there is so many sights to see when traveling. I remember to participate a tour when I visit Munich, so that we could see a good amount of sites. We did free tour with Dave. He was super great! When we did this tour it was on and off raining. So these tours happen rain or shine. The tour was focused on the castle aka the royal tour. We were taken to many photo spots and I love all the context we get. Dave the tour guide was so knowledgeable and super kind. On these tour he tells your tips on how to navigate around the city and etiquette. He was willing to give recommendations and directions when the tour ends too.
Remember that these tours had a lot of research done and that you should tip as much you think it is worth. These tours are such worth it as they can build some structure on the trip. I look forward booking with Sandman's tour company again. :)

Jake was our tour guide during our 3 hour walking tour. Like other Sandeman's guides, he mixed both important history and comedy, which kept my husband's attention because he is not a fan of tours!
We hit all of the major touristy spots in London and got a lot of exercise, to boot. During Sandeman's tours, I have learned so much about the areas that otherwise I would have never heard. Yes, you can go online to learn the history, but you will not learn the little tidbits about areas or key figures.
I highly recommend any tours with Sandeman's. And like many others have mentioned, be sure to tip well. I saw some people tip 5 pounds for the long tour--give me a break! He gave up several hours to teach you!

Just do it. Don't ask questions. Well ask one question, and that is to request Angus as a guide.

I had VERY limited time to sight see in the middle of all my work meetings, and this 3hr tour hit all of the main hot spots and then some. SUCH A GREAT USE OF TIME.

It is technically free, but you will feel 100% compelled to tip generously when it is done.

I loved the kooky stories and the unique items shown such as the Banksy street art and the Harry potter alley :)

I love the Sandeman's tours! We have done them in Brussels, Amsterdam, and London and they have always been great! In London, we did 2 separate tours, the free 2.5 hour walking tour (just FYI make sure to tip at the end) and the Old City Tour which lasted about 3-3.5 hours.

The free walking tour was a great introduction to the city and meets in Covent Garden, which is centrally located on several underground lines. We went through Westminster, Trafalgar Square, and past the National Gallery. We also walked past St. Jame's Palace and Buckingham Palace and through St. James Park. We saw the Horse Guards Parade and witnessed the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We saw Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and the Churchill War Rooms. Our guide was originally from Portugal but really knew his London history and culture after living there for 12 years. He definitely made the tour entertaining and informative.

The Old City Tour focused on the City of London (which is actually incredibly small) and its history. We began in Covent Garden and ended at the Tower of London. In between we saw the tower bridge, London Bridge (it's not impressive actually), Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Church of the Knights Templar, Mansion House, the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, the WWII Blitz area, where the fire of London began, and the barristers courts. We also saw the old jail and the current courthouse. Our tour guide was actually originally from Canada and is a history teacher in London. He was very entertaining, perhaps less theatrical than our first guide, but more historically informed. I believe the tickets were 12 or 15 pounds each.

Sandeman's is a great company and I highly recommend all of their tours in the cities they have them in!

I went on a tour with Evo in December of 2018. My best friend and I LOVED the experience, Evo in was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and this was a great way to get a lay of the land in a city/country we had never been to before. It's 2 years later and I still remember the tour. Thanks for the great memories.

Went on the New London Free Tour on March 4, 2018 with David. In a word - Awesome! Not only did he take us around the sites giving a detailed and unique history of many of the major historic sites in this city but was also there to answer questions regarding best places to eat local and other bits of trivia. We love our walking tours taking them all over the globe from Seattle, USA, New York, Florence, Rome, etc... David and Sandemans deserve every bit of this rating. When in London find out why.

Was in London and have done many of this companies free tours. This was, like all of them, fabulous!

My guide was Charlotte!

We learned a lot, had fun, and got acquainted with the city. It's a wonderful tour to do on your first day as you can see what is worth going back to!

The guide can also point you in the direction of great restaurants, hidden attractions etc.

Can't wait for the next city to tour!

I did the free walking tour with Becky and it was superb! Becky has hilarious, and extremely informative. Not only did she provide us with an amazingly rich history of London she also made it a priority to make sure we bonded as a group, ensuring we walked away with new friends!

Took the British museum tour with Alicia. I was the only one in the group, so got the one on one treatment. She was the best!!!! Knowledgeable, witty, great conversationalist and beautiful!!!! Highly recommend her and the tour.
