Visitors to the city of London may not be familiar with the city and all the wonderful things to see. Guidebooks are a wonderful accessory but can only take you so far. London tours are a good way to see those areas of London that you might have otherwise missed. Tour guides are typically very knowledgeable so you stand to learn a lot on a London tour. There are many different options available, so be sure to choose a London tour suited to your particular interests but don’t be afraid to try something new as well.
There are London tours with a focus on the supernatural, art, politics, ancient history, and nearly every other topic you can imagine. There are walking London tours in addition to the famous big red bus tours. Walking offers a closer look at a smaller geographic area, while the busses offer a larger breadth of sights to see with a less detailed focus. Both types of London tours are highly enjoyable and valuable. Which one you choose depends entirely on what you hope to gain from the experience.
An added benefit of traveling with a London tour around the city, as opposed to striking out on your own, is the security of knowing you won’t get lost. Staying with a group is perhaps the safest and most fun way to explore new territory. When you tour the city with a guide, you have the ability to ask questions about things that pique your interest, which is a rewarding way to learn about the city.
