Good greenwich tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich past Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London, with live commentary and flexible return options.
“Lots to see from the Thames, good live narration. The speaker used good info and humour. I recommend”
Review of the Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich tour from London, with itinerary details, value advice, timing tips and honest drawbacks.
“The guide was very good. The boat ride on River Thames, it was dark by the time we got to the boat. So could not see anything.”
Visit Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Dover, Greenwich, and London landmarks on an 11-hour guided day trip with coach travel and Thames cruise.
“The Leeds castle and Canterbury Castle are worth a visit but you need to have atleast 3hrs alloted to both the places. Cliffs was Dover were fine but not something that would make you feel wow. The Greenwich walking tour was not upto the mark and just spent about 10 mins in Greenwich that too just to catch the boat whereas the itinerary said it would be for around 45 mins. Also the boat ride isnt worth it as it was a closed boat with no proper views. Overall good if you are in London for a short duration and want to see something out of London.”
Explore Greenwich Mean Time, stand on the Prime Meridian, see historic clocks, and enjoy sweeping London views at this self-guided observatory visit.
“When I saw the word Observatory I assumed that the PIanitarium was included but this tour is just to see the museum that explains about how measuring time occurred. It's interesting but really quite limited. For those for whom mobility is an issue the Observatory is at the top of a very steep hill and there are quite a few stairs when you get there. It really isn't wheelchair friendly and there is only one small lift outside that covers one set of about 5 stairs. Internally, there are no lifts at all. I was really quite disappointed. Having said that the views from the top of the hill were…”
Explore Greenwich after dark on a two-hour ghost walk featuring haunted landmarks, local history, small groups, and vivid stories for $18.74.
“A brilliant walk around Greenwich- Jamie was a fantastic guide, we were lucky enough to be the only guests on that particular evening tour and he really made it a special experience for us (myself and my 13yr old daughter who's fascinated by the paranormal). Great relaxed manner with an excellent knowledge of history and literature, also really knew his stuff on the spooky side with some great tales of paranormal investigations. A very manageable walk on level ground and a family-friendly finish time at just after 9pm. Highly recommended!”
Review of Greenwich’s private day tour, covering the Observatory, Cutty Sark, museums, market, pub lunch, price, pace, and practical tips.
“" We enjoyed a wonderful combination of sights, history and walking - and lunch - on the Best of Greenwich Tour. Our guide was able to give us a balance of information, humour and a passion for this history of Greenwich. We highly recommend this tour for couples and families, as a way to experience the best of Greenwich in a day" !”
Review of the Brighton to Greenwich and Cambridge day tour, with itinerary details, value advice, timing, guides, group size, and practical tips.
“It was a truly wonderful trip. Jerry was an absolutely brilliant guide — full of good humour and incredibly easy and pleasant to talk to. The places my friends and I visited were simply breathtaking. We also had a fantastic driver who made the journey even more enjoyable. I’m especially grateful to the customer support team for their quick and friendly help when we couldn’t find the bus in the morning. Thank you so much for making this day so special”
See Greenwich’s maritime treasures, Queen’s House, and historic sights on a private half-day tour with admission included.
“Wow! This was wonderful! We encountered two groups that met at the same statue but left a few minutes earlier than ours, both having at least 50 people in them and no way to hear the guide at the front of the group. Figured we had chosen one of those tours when our tour guide and ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON came up. Fantastic! This tour ended up being through Greenwich Royal Tours, and we had Graham Bleasdale as our tour guide. He was wonderful, very knowledgeable, and totally willing to let us direct the time based on our interests. It is a very steep climb to the Royal Observatory, but he…”

Solve phone clues and real-world puzzles on a private Greenwich adventure through markets, parks, landmarks, and London history.
“Me and my friend walked around Greenwich for the first time doing this adventure city hunt and had a wonderful time. It takes you through some of the best spots including the market and the park and we were blessed with some nice weather as well. Some of the challenges are harder than others, but overall it’s a good brain teaser and a good walk as well!”
Review of the Christmas Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich tour, with cathedral service, pub lunch, White Cliffs stop, timing, value and tips.
“Visiting the Canterbury cathedral was lovely and learning about the history on the drive over was great. It would have been nice to have been able to spend more in Canterbury. We only got to go to the service and then had to leave immediately after. We also would have likRead more”
Solve clever clues through Greenwich, uncover maritime stories, find the Observatory, and explore Queens House at your own pace.
“The clues were brilliant, we only needed one hint having got lost but we kept moving. It was a great way to explore a new area.”
Spend Christmas Eve at Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Dover, and Greenwich on a practical day tour from London with festive stops.
“This years display was overall very underwhelming compared to last year. It felt like less lights, less music, no wow factor, the lights around the castle itself were very dim and less overwhelming. Its a shame because my family and l really enjoyeRead more”
Explore Greenwich’s royal and maritime sights with a private guide, from Cutty Sark to the Prime Meridian, in a focused three-hour London tour.
“Our guide, Muhsin (sp?) was very flexible when we were about 15 minutes late due to traffic. His guide commentary was well timed, well informed, and hit just the right level of detail for our group. Effectively answering questions was also in his skill set. When rain-and a little too much walking for one of our members-made it necessary to (unhappily) terminate our tour a little early, Muhsin continued to be perfectly helpful by guiding us to a good place from which to call an Uber. Overall-a great guide experience!”
Pick the kind of day first, then the best of it in England.
