London Walks Highly Recommended

I would like to give a hearty recommendation of the London Walks tour company. I love this company!

London Walks offers two-hour walking tours of London and daylong trips from London for walks in locales throughout much of England.

The extraordinarily high caliber of the guides and careful itinerary planning make these walks very special. Fodor, Lonely Planet, and others consider London Walks the best.

You will find an amazing array of choices for the first time visitor, as well as a fascinating variety of walks that will appeal to those for have lived in London all of their lives.

London Walks offers the basics like the Tower of London and Old Westminster walks, as well as a nice selection of truly off beat selections.

For example, how about “Blood Curdling London,” an evening jaunt on Saturdays? As the description says, “O.K., you’ve done Jack Ripper [walks] – now let’s get serious . . ..”

Also highly recommended are the day trips.

With these, you receive a group train fare or you can use your Britrail pass to access walking locations with your guide, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, the Cotswolds, Warwick and Leeds castles, Brighton, and Stratford-Upon-Avon. You’ll save significant money over coach tours, and have the chance to visit wonderful places such as Winston Churchill’s Chartwell and Sissinghurst Castle Garden not offered by Gray Line-type tours.

On these longer trips, you will never walk for more than two hours at a time. There are always frequent stops. Nor will you won’t need exceptional fitness. All you will need are comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather.

No walks are canceled because of rain. After all, this is England.

In spite of the caliber of the guides, these walks are not expensive. In fact, they are one of the best values in London.
