The Famous London Walks Company
One of the best ways to see all the attractions that London has to offer is on foot. However, just walking on your own can cause you to miss some of the best sights, and you’ll definitely miss all those interesting facts you could be getting on a guided tour.
That’s why you should check out guided walks with the London Walks Company instead. You’ll get all the information you want, and get to see everything your tour has to offer.
There are many different tour options, so it’ll be easy to find one that covers the area you’d like to see and to fill the amount of time you have available. Just remember to dress for the weather and bring good walking shoes!
If you’d like to go on a London Walk, just find the appropriate Tube Stop and meet up with your guide and other walkers on the pavement outside. Your guide will hold up copies of the London Walks leaflet to help you find him or her.
One of the great things about London Walks is that there’s no need to book in advance. Don’t bother dealing with any red tape - just turn up for the walk and enjoy yourself, since there’s no upper capacity for a tour.
Of course, if you’re in an extremely large group, there are reasons to book a private walk. You’ll get a guide all to yourself and the overall cost will be lower - contact London Walks to find out more.
Most London walks last around two hours, and you don’t need to worry about yours being canceled. The walk goes on, regardless of the weather.
To make getting where you want to go after the walk much easier, each tour ends near or at another Tube Stop. Just get on the train and head to your next destination.
Wondering how much a London Walk costs? That depends on who you are and what your status is.
The standard London walk is seven pounds, with adults over sixty-five years of age, students and people with Discount Walkabout Cards paying five. Kids under fifteen can walk for free if they’re with a parent.
For London Walks’ Explorer Days programs to Stonehenge and Salisbury, Oxford and the Cotswolds, Richmond and Hampton Court Palace, Cambridge, Bath, and many other locations, the basic fee is twelve pounds plus tariffs. Older adults, students, and Discount Walkabout card carriers pay ten.
London Walks operates every day, all year, rain or shine, even on Christmas. Summer programs start in May and run through the beginning of November, with Winter Walks running November to April.
A trip with the London Walks Company is an excellent addition to any London holiday, and doesn’t require any advance planning. Just show up at the right location and be ready for a couple of hours of fun filled, informative walking through some of London’s greatest sights.
The London Walks Company is probably the best of the walking tour companies in the city, offering walks every day, in any weather, so you’ll never find out yours has been canceled. Take a London Walk when you visit this great city - you’ll enjoy yourself a lot more than if you’d been walking on your own.
