Fun London Tours - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Fun London Tours

You’ve probably heard of London’s most famous hotspots before. Perhaps you’ve even walked over Tower Bridge or stood in awe gazing up at St Paul’s Cathedral yourself.

But there’s a side of the UK capital unknown to most, even if you’ve lived in the city all your life.

What side of the city will you discover?

From the secret to the bizarre, conspiracies to controversies – Fun London Tours are here to guide you through the more unusual side of London.

On every tour, you’ll be joined by an experienced guide to lead you to each location.

With an unparalleled knowledge of the city, they’ll also be on hand to fill you in with a load of intriguing stories and facts.

Whether you’re up for discovering the once hidden locations of the Knights Templar, or fancy taking a stroll through the forgotten alleyways and courtyards of the city – every tour comes with its own unique elements.

Fascinated by the Second World War? Hop onboard the Churchill and London in WW2 tour. Learn all about what went on in the city during the time of the Blitz, and discover the statue of Winston Churchill watching over Parliament Square.

Fancy something a little quieter? Or up for a classic?

Group sizes are kept intentionally small, which allows your guide to interact with you directly.

And it won’t be long before you’re chatting away with your fellow travellers, who are just excited to be on the tour as you.

Tours are family-friendly, with the guides catering to the needs of all ages and backgrounds. Little ones and grown-ups alike will be amazed by the rolling drums and echoing trumpets along the Changing the Guard Tour.

If you’re after something away from the crowds and you fancy discovering a side of London that dates back hundreds of years, the Secret Old London Walking Tour is the one for you.

From Roman amphitheatres to medieval graveyards – surprises of the city are waiting to meet you around every corner.

The rest of the capital awaits!

Tours begin and end mostly around central London, giving you plenty of options for what to get up to when they come to an end.

Whether you fancy getting stuck into a fun activity, visiting an attraction for a few hours, or stopping off at one of the city’s incredible eateries – you won’t be on the hunt for long.

Sit down with a slab of cake and a frothy hot chocolate grasped between your hands; a loved one opposite you.

Between decadent bites and warming sips, take a moment to scroll through all the incredible photos you took.

It’ll be all the inspiration you need to start planning which tour to go on next, the excitement already starting to build!

How to Find Discounts on London Attractions

Finding discounts on London attractions

There are several ways to find discounts on London attractions. A lot of the best deals are seasonal, meaning you can only find them at selected times during the year. Other ways include buying a train ticket to get a 2 for the price of 1 deal, or visiting attractions as part of a hotel package. Since visiting London can be expensive, these money-saving techniques are great ways to explore the city on a budget without breaking the bank.

Our guide below lists the best ways of finding discounts in London:

Deals for Couples:

There are several companies that offer tickets for couples that offer considerable discounts. One of the best places to find awesome discounts is Virgin Experience Days . Their “View from The Shard” ticket for two adults offers savings of £17 and there are also several amazing afternoon tea deals for two. The one downside is that you can’t select a date when booking, but instead receive a voucher that is valid for several months, and you have to phone the attraction direct in order to book a date.

Sightseeing & Tour Discounts:

One of the biggest sites that regularly offer significant discounts on sightseeing tours is Groupon . We’ve found day tours to the Cotswolds from London at knock-down prices with savings of £50 per person! Be aware that not all the products offered on the site will actually save you money, many of the prices are the same as if you were to buy directly from the attraction.

2-for-1 Deal:

You can get a 2 for the price of 1 ticket on many of London’s major attractions if you travel by train. The offer is run by the National Rail service. Download a voucher from their website , and present it along with a train ticket  to London.  This offers works well if you are arriving in London Luton, Stansted or Gatwick airport and will travel by train into Central London, or traveling from outside the capital. You can keep this ticket, print out a voucher, and save a lot of money on one of London’s major attractions. However, if you are travelling from Heathrow, the ticket doesn’t apply.

Some people purchase cheap train tickets online to London, but don’t actually use them on the train, but instead present them at the attraction along with a voucher. Sometimes this technique works, although there have been times when people have been turned away because they haven’t actually used the train ticket.

Package deals with hotels:

An unusual way of finding discounts on London attractions is book tickets as a part of a hotel combination. With these kinds of packages, you can add an attraction onto a hotel of your choice in London. This is particularly popular with 2-night theatre breaks , with a hotel included in the package price. The overall price will normally work out cheaper than buying the two products individually. There is also a way at the checkout page to add multiple attractions to the booking, for multiple savings!

London Pass:

The London Pass is basically a mega-pass that you can purchase for a single day, or for multiple days. It offers entrance into most of London’s attractions, but does it actually offer any discounts? The answer is simple: If you plan on visiting more than 4 attractions per day, then this deal will probably save you money. If you only plan on visiting 1 or 2 places a day then the London pass will actually be more expensive than purchasing tickets individually.

Online vs. On The Day

For most of London’s attractions, the ticket price is the same whether you buy them at the ticket office or direct online. The main exceptions are the Tower of London and London Eye . Here, you can save a few pounds if you buy the tickets online versus on the day. The other advantage is that you’ll spend less time waiting in line on the day to buy a ticket.

• Transport & Travel

How do I recognise the Guide?

Our guide will be carrying a Fun London Tours flag.

How early should I arrive for the walk?

Please come 10 minutes before the allotted time so that we are ready to go promptly, especially if you have decided to come without booking online. Please note that in London there are regular road closures, engineering works on the tube and other events which can easily delay your journey. Ensure you make allowances for this as we do not wait for latecomers.

What time does the tour start and finish, and where?

You will find all this information and more on the relevant tour page and also on your confirmation email.

What do I need to bring? Are there any toilet/refreshment breaks?

We would suggest dressing sensibly for the predicted weather conditions. So a raincoat or small umbrella can be a good idea with the notoriously changeable weather in England! As the tours usually last a maximum of two hours, we will not be stopping for breaks, although we will endeavour to start and finish near to public facilities and shops. We would recommend bringing some water, and using the public facilities before coming on the tour.

What happens if I don’t turn up on time?

The Guide will leave promptly at the designated time. Although there may be an introduction to the tour, this will be brief and your guide will not answer the phone once the tour has started.

Does the tour go ahead in the rain?

Yes, all our tours go ahead in the rain, so come prepared for the famous British weather!

One thing to note for our changing the guard tour: The British Army reserve the right to alter the changing the guard ceremony if they so wish, but will not make a decision until the event is due to start. If there is a threat of rain, your guide will inform the group of the potential impact on the ceremony. You will always see guards, but their movements may vary, and musicians may not play.

Will the tour always be the same?

The theme of the tour will not deviate from what is advertised, although the guide reserves the right to alter the content and route.

How long do walks last?

The duration of our walks vary. Most are either 1.5 hours or 2 hours. Check the details of the individual walk for further information.

How far do we walk?

This depends on the tour. All of the walks will have between 5 and 15 stops, with a 3-5 minute walk between them. The Changing The Guard tour has a three minute burst where we march at the same pace as the guards, but otherwise all our walks are rather easily paced!

May I use video on the tour?

Although we are happy for photos and video of the surroundings to be taken during the tour, please do not video record the guide unless they have given you permission.

Do you offer tours in languages other than English?

Unfortunately not.

How many people are in a group?

We are keen to ensure that the groups are not too large. Usually we have a limit of 20 per guide (25 on changing the guard). Sometimes we may have a full tour, on other occasions, just five or ten people.

Who can come on the walks?

We have a variety of walks. The Changing The Guard is lively and fun, and are suitable for all ages, but requires good mobility. Some of the other walks are not suitable for children, and this is clearly stated when booking the tour.

Who is responsible for the safety of walkers?

The Guide will remind you of safety precautions at the beginning of each walk, but each member of the group is responsible for their own safety.

Do you allow pets on your tours?

We permit guide dogs only.

Tips & Gratuities

This is of course at your discretion. However, tipping is a feature of the tourist industry, and if you feel the Tour Guide has done a good job then it is appropriate.

What happens if I fail to turn up? Will I get a refund?

No, we’re afraid not. If there are extenuating circumstances why you were unable to come, please drop us a line at [email protected] and we will try to find a space for you on a later date but we cannot guarantee this.

Will the walk ever be cancelled?

It is very unlikely. The main reason for a tour being cancelled would be a major transportation issue, although this is extremely rare. The Guides live in London, so can make use of the tube and bus network and will follow up to date transport information to try to prevent any problems. Very rarely extreme weather conditions could prevent a tour going ahead, but even in heavy rain or snow tours generally continue (bring your umbrellas and ponchos if bad weather is predicted!)

There are a few rare occasions through the year where the Guard Change fails to take place for reasons out of the hands of the Tour Guide. Sometimes this will not become apparent until after the walk starts (usually due to weather conditions). In such a case the Tour Guide will continue with a modified tour. If you are not 100% satisfied with this, we will endeavour to provide you with an alternative date, tour or discount.

If a total of fewer than four people are booked onto the tour then we reserve the right to cancel. In such cases you will be sent an email/SMS and given prior notice, with the offer of a refund or alternative date.

In the event of cancellation, we will endeavour to let you know with as much notice as possible by either email or SMS and provide a full and prompt refund or offer an alternative date/tour if preferable.

Can I turn up for a walk without booking first?

It is very possible that our tours will be full so if you turn up without booking you may well miss the tour. This is particularly relevant on the Changing The Guard w hich is extremely popular. We limit numbers on our tours to make them more personable and to maximise enjoyment, so we would have to turn you away if this number has been reached. However, those who booked online will be prioritised, followed by a first to arrive basis.

If you don’t book in advance you will not get any notification of changed locations or cancellations. We will always turn up for the tour if someone has booked, but if there have been no bookings for a tour it is very likely that it will be cancelled. And don’t forget, some of the walks are discounted for those who book online.

Can you take bookings over the phone?

Unfortunately we don’t have the facility to do this.

Are there any discounts for students, Senior Citizens or those on benefits?

Currently we have discounted tickets for children under 18 and also sell family tickets on some tours. All under 5s come for free. Please check each individual tour for further details.

Do you have group concessions?

Please email [email protected] regarding this. Depending on demand, it may be possible, but not a guarantee.

Can I book a private tour?

Sure! Our guides tend to be booked quite far in advance – especially during peak times – but please email [email protected] with your request. We tend to have more availability on shorter private tours of 1.5 – 2 hours in length. As of January 2023, prices start at £250.

I haven’t received a confirmation email for my booking

Please check your junk box as the confirmation email is sent out automatically following a booking.

When I book the tour do I need to wait for tickets to arrive in the post?

No, your confirmation email is your ticket. Just show this to the guide on the day of the tour.

Do you cater for disabilities?

At FLT we try to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have any particular disability, please email us at [email protected] beforehand and we will do our best to ensure the tour works for you.

Are there any Luggage Storage Options?

There are a couple of different luggage storage options in London. We recommend Nanny Bag or Luggage Hero

Your health is our top priority, and we have put special measures in place to keep all guests safe both during and after your activity.

Group Size – we allow a maximum of 20 people on our tours (25 on changing the guard),

Wellness Checks – Guides will not lead the tour if they are showing symptoms.

Cancellation Policy – If you are experiencing symptoms we will work with you to ensure you can be refunded or rescheduled.

Why should I book with Fun London Tours?

We are Professional Guides, and as such, take our job seriously. We are all experienced, and perform the walks on a daily basis so are used to all manner of situations.

It is also fundamental that the tours are enjoyable and ‘fun’ rather than dry and merely informative. Each walk has been created with an element of adventure and innovation in mind and as such, should mark it out from other standard guiding companies. We are a relatively newly formed organisation, with a fresh take on guiding, and will provide a friendlier, personal touch than most.

And don’t forget, our Guides are recommended by the foremost Changing the Guard website, www.changing-guard.com and as such offer an unparalleled access to up to date information and notifications about the Changing The Guard ceremony, have won countless Trip Advisor Certificates of Excellence and have featured on renowned publications like the Londonist and About.com.

Can I leave any Customer comments?

We encourage your feedback, and as such will provide each member of the tour with our contact details at the end of the tour. Please send your comments to [email protected] and feel free to post your review on Trip Advisor, Google or Yelp.

As we are a relatively small company, any positive feedback which can be seen on TripAdvisor or our Facebook page is enormously appreciated so that more people can enjoy our tours in the future!

If in the unlikely event that you have a complaint, please email us at [email protected] and we will endeavour to respond promptly.

Do you have any Job Vacancies?

Thanks for your interest but we are not currently looking to recruit.

Do you have any tour guide vacancies?

We are a small company with a close knit group of guides and only add one or two fresh faces each year at most.

If you are interested, contact [email protected] with a CV.

Please note that we only take on guides who have at least a year guiding experience.

How can I discover more about the changing of the guard?

You’ll learn loads of great information on our tour, but if you would like to find out more in advance, then check out the main changing of the guard website changing-guard.com

Do you have any other recommendations for activities in London?

We feature in all sorts of publications, from the wonderful Londonist, TimeOut, Rick Steve’s and Kayak to name just a few. These are all great sources of information, but if you want more personal and insider knowledge, ask your friendly Fun London Tour Guide after the tour!
