Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

David walked us through the City of London in 2 hours. Very nice, patient and knowledgeable on the area. And very cute accent indeed.

DAVID was our tour guide for our financial tour. He was very intelligent in his London history, and kept the tour very interesting. His personality made for a phenomenal experience! He also made sure to add in a few jokes here and there! I would recommend David as your tour guide for anything you decide to do. His tour was a great ending to our trip here in London:)

My school group did the Financial Tour of the City of London. David was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and engaged. We learned a great deal and very much enjoyed it.

My MBA group was led by David as we walked through Canary Wharf Financial District, tube station, and rooftop garden. It was a great experience! Most likely my favorite part of the whole trip.

Maciek took myself and a group of teenaged business students on the East End walking tour. I have been to the area many times, though found the tour highly engaging, packed with interesting facts and inspirational sights. Maciek was extremely knowledgeable and interacted well with all members of the tour. I highly recommend.

I had a great time exploring the City of London with David. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the area and that made the tour so much more worth it. It never felt boring or too long because I had the best time!

Hi there, I've tried to book the London Underground tour for 4 people but the site keeps crashing when trying to progress to the payment stage. Is there still places available for Sat 27-Nov-21 as per the website? If so, would there be an alternative route to book the tour? Many thanks for your help & response

How much is the London Finance Tour?
Jonas F
London, UK14 contributions
Hi Russell!
Thanks for getting in touch! As the Finance Tour(s) are private only, they depend on things such as number of people, availability etc. Could you please drop us a message via email or contact form (please see our website) with more details, so we can get back to you with a quote?
Thank you very much and all the best,
Jonas

Do you visit any disused tube stations
Jonas F

Hi Carlton,
sorry, for some reason I've just seen this question now. I want to give you an official response: Unfortunately, we do not enter any disused tube stations, due to safety regulations and TfL reserving the rights to organise these tours themselves. As rwager201 has pointed out, you can find these tours on the London Transport Museum's website. As Todd H has explained, we do however *see* a ghost station while traveling through. We tie this particular experience into the storyline of the tour. Out of personal experience from giving the tour, almost all guests enjoy this little 'hunt'.
I hope, I could help you with my response, and that we'll meet on one of our tours.
All the best,
Jonas

Hi,
I was wondering whether the tour would be suitable for children (a 9-year old in our case!)
Thanks

Hi,
This is Jiamei from Insider London. Our award winning London Underground Tour is extremely popular, the youngest guest we have on our tour is 6 years of age, in our past experience, some kids are fascinated by all forms of transport system, trains, cars, ships, airplanes, it will be a great experience if your child is interested in underground.
Our tour guides are all professionally trained and have extensive experience in leading the tour for different guests needs, they all have complete list of guests, we will know whether any children or senior citizens will join the tour, we will adapt it accordingly so everyone can enjoy this fantastic tour.
Thank you.

Hello Angela,
you took part in the tour in July, can you please tell us if it is a good idea to book this tour on summer day ? I mean, were the stations not too crowded ? Didn't it prevent you from having a great time ?
Thanks!

Hi there,
This is Jiamei from Insider London. Our London Underground Tour limits our tour group size to 10, the starting time is 11am which means the tour will avoid rush hour, during the weekend, the underground will be busier than weekday, but 11am seems to be a good starting time. Our group is small and intimate, our tour guides are all professionally trained have extensive knowledge and passion for the oldest underground system in the world!
Thank you.
Jiamei
