WHY IT RATES:Discover the many fun ways to explore London with Evan Evans Tours - Eric Bowman, TravelPulse Senior Editor
There are a million things to do and see in and around London - in fact, it would take several lifetimes to cover everything. So, if your time in the city is limited, it makes sense to use it as wisely as you can. See only what piques your interest, and get to and from each place in the most comfortable, fashionable way possible.
Evan Evans Tours can show you the best of London, from the highlights to the hidden corners, and take you there in style. As the largest and oldest sightseeing company in London (87 years and counting!) their wealth of knowledge and experience will ensure you have a day out to remember.
If it's an overview of the city you're after, jump onto Evan Evans' vintage red Routemaster bus for a full day's ride through the city's icons on the London in Style tour: see the priceless crown jewels at the Tower of London; browse the bustling stalls of Borough Market; and take afternoon tea at the Cellarium Café inside Westminster Abbey. For an even more luxurious experience, opt for a chauffeured Mercedes-Benz or Jaguar to explore the city in, with or without a private expert guide. Half-day tours are also available.
If you'd rather put your feet to the ground, Evan Evans offers three memorable themed walking tours that bring London's past to life and let you walk in the footsteps of famous (and infamous) Londoners, both real and imaginary.
Spend an afternoon hoofing it around the Thames river Bankside area on the Historic London Pubs tour, where you'll imbibe at three of London's most famous taverns. On this half-day experience, you'll hear the stories and myths behind the ale houses where pirates, smugglers and authors rubbed elbows. Tasting is encouraged!
On the half-day Harry Potter Film Locations tour, you can follow in the footsteps of the world's most famous child wizard as you visit numerous spots where the movie was shot. Discover the magic behind the locations that stood in for Leaky Cauldron, the Ministry of Magic and the Millennium Bridge, and end your tour on the iconic Platform 9¾ at King's Cross station.
London's most notorious serial killer is brought to life on the Jack the Ripper evening tour, where an expert "Ripperologist" uncovers the myths and facts behind the man who terrorized London's East End in the 1880s.
Evan Evans also partners with SideStory, whose private walking tours with experts in various fields can take you even deeper under the skin of the city. Explore the vegetarian food scene in Peckham, dive into the high-end fashion scene of swank Knightsbridge, roam the centuries-old square mile of the city center, or improve your photography skills in the cultural melting pot of the East End.
If you haven't chosen a hotel yet for your London trip, Evan Evans' sister company, The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, features six spectacular properties in the heart of London. These luxury boutique hotels are steeped in history and offer luxurious accommodation, sumptuous surroundings, exquisite dining and highly personalized service, and are within walking distance of key attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, the British Museum and The Royal Albert Hall. The concierge will gladly arrange a booking on any Evan Evans tour.
