Hello, we went on four walks in total (Westminster at War - with Robert, Hidden London - with Fiona, Kensington Royal Village - with David, Chelsea Riverside Village - with Gavin). Each guide was brilliant and held our attention with fascinating stories and was thoroughly knowledgeable about their subject. I think all of the guides are highly qualified and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with whoever you get. We were only going to do one walk this trip but did four — and would have done more if we had the time!

I agree you need to check with tour company regarding the dog. There might be buildings that will not permit a dog to enter as well as the other people on the tour might object. I personally have a fear of dogs as I have been bitten 2 times and so being near a dog on tour would make me most uncomfortable. Sorry, but once, twice bitten makes one very nervous.

I didn’t go on either Beatles tour but the tours I did go on were each so fabulous that I’d encourage you to go on both tours. Their guides are all so expert in their fields that my guess is that you’ll find each tour worthwhile.

You should go on their website where they have detailed information about all of their walks and day trips

London walks was excellent!

We do two different Beatles tours. And a Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour. The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour goes at 2 pm on Wednesdays, 11 am on Thursdays, and 11 am on Sundays. The meeting point is just outside exit 1 of Tottenham Court Road Tube. The Beatles in My Life Walk goes at 11 am on Tuesdays and at 11 am on Saturdays. The meeting point is just outside Marylebone Tube. Full information on walks followed by a dot followed by the word com (extraordinary that we have to disguise this matter - not allowed to put up those three w’s and the rest of the YouRL) To get to Tottenham Court Road Tube from Earls Court Tube take the Piccadilly Line - the dark blue line, the London Underground is colour coded - to Leicester Square Tube. At Leicester Square Tube change to the Northern Line - the black line - and take it one stop up to Tottenham Court Road Tube. To get to Marylebone Tube from Earl’s Court Tube take the Piccadilly Line (the dark blue line) six stops to Piccadilly Circus Tube. At Piccadilly Circus Tube change to the Bakerloo Line (the brown line). Take the Bakerloo Line four stops up to Marylebone Tube. Richard, the guide, will be just outside the exit of the station holding up copies of the distinctive white London Walks leaflet. The London Underground is simplicity itself - much easier to figure out than the one you know (NYC’s). Tip: to calculate how long a Tube journey in central London will take Londoners use the “three minute rule.” I.E. allow an average of three minutes between stops. So, Tottenham Court Road Tube is eight stops from Earl’s Court Tube. That Tube journey will take approx. 24 minutes. 3x8 = 24 Hope this helps and good walking.

Hullo Roberta. Eeezy peezy (as our sprogs used to say). You just turn up at the appointed hour at the designated meeting point and pay the guide then. And hey presto, just like that, you’re on the walk. There’s no red tape with London Walks. No pre-payment, no “booking” - you just turn up and go. The walks always take place (unlike some of our fly by night competitors) - even if there’s only one walker. So you don’t have to worry, “am I going to turn up only to get a nasty surprise, be told, ‘we’re cancelling this walk because there aren’t enough people on it.’” Happens elsewhere - as one star reviews on TA attest to - doesn’t happen with London Walks. You have the particulars for when and where the Darkest Victorian London Walk forms up? The info’s on our site - walksperiodcom - but if you’d like I’ll be happy to email you or dm you those particulars. Just say the word here and we’ll get back to you. Hope this helps. (Good choice, by the way. Great walk with wonderful guides - a couple of them winners of the London Tourist Board’s Guide of the Year Award.)

Of the tours I took (Greenwich and Hampstead), I do not think they would be appropriate for 3 and 5 year-olds. There is a pretty steady rhythm of walk a bit, stand a bit, while the tour guide talks about the building or site or vista in front of you. I think that a small child's attention span would be too short for this, especially for two to three hours of such walking and standing. I agree with other responses, and suggest that you contact the company to ask their advice about whether any of the tours are appropriate for children.

I do not know. Contact the owner of their website. He is an American.
