Each of their tours cost 6 pounds, and this one adds 3 pounds for the boat trip down to Greenwich. Once you're in Greenwich, though, pretty much everything is free, including the tour of the Observatory. We were only there for a week and didn't know about London Walks before we got there, but if we had known how many walks we'd take, we probably would have gotten their <a href="http://www.walks.com/Homepage/FAQs/default.aspx#227" rel="nofollow">Discount Walkabout Card</a>. If I ever get to go back, I will. For anyone coming from Less Than a Shoestring’s Europe travel carnival, I did this trip with London Walks.
