TripAdvisor’s best tour in the UK is a £25 pub crawl of London – and here are the other top experiences

THE best experiences in the UK have been revealed by TripAdvisor with London dominating the most popular bookings.

Within the top ten, five of the best tours are found in the UK capital.

In first place was a small tour of some of the city's most historical pubs, costing from £25 per person.

With visits to pubs on Fleet Street, the iconic location of British journalism, as well as establishments visited by Charles Dickens and Shakespeare, the popular three-hour excursion has won rave reviews on TripAdvisor.

Of 571 reviews, the tour has been given five stars from tourists who praised the trip, which included interesting facts and history within the area, as well as optional tastings of the local brews.

Other London-based experiences include a classic car private tour of the city, a Thames river cruise and a chocolate tour in Mayfair.

The cheapest on the list was the Harry Potter Walking Tour of London, starting from just £16 per person.

Stops along the way include some of the inspirations for Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron, while the tour guide reveals some of the secrets and unknown facts about the films.

While London took most of the top tours in the UK, Scotland and Ireland also featured on the list.

A Belfast city walking tour and a trip exploring Game of Thrones filming locations also made the top ten, as did an Edinburgh walking tour and a three-day trip around Skye and the Scottish Highlands.

Earlier this year, London was named as the best rated tourist destination in the world, thanks to the Royal Wedding.

It pipped Paris, Rome and Crete to the post, with Bali, Barcelona and Dubai also failing to make it high in the list.

A B&B in the UK was also named the best in the world according to TripAdvisor, with the £125-a-night hotel in Torquay popular with guests.
