Amazing, enlightening tour - Our guide (I’ve forgotten her name, pregnant lady z) was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. Seeing parts of London that I would never have discovered was great. I would recommend this tour in discovering some hidden gems of a great city.

Fun and informative tours - I booked two tours for one day. I enjoyed both trips so much London Secret walk and Jack the ripper. Jess and Matt were very kind. Always checking on everyone in the group and showed genuine interest in the people they tour with. Very informative and funny. Will definitely go again and will recommend it to others as will. I am going for another tour with them for sure! Awfa

What an excellent experience. - It was a good experience from the very start: easy to book, clear description, timely instructions and reminders. Our guide, Geoff, took us to the places many of us passed by before, without any knowledge of their history. Geoff told us fascinating stories about London’s past and present. He was so enthusiastic; the walk was planned for 1.5 hours, but he wanted to share his knowledge with us, so he gave us some additional 15 minutes! With the exception of a few steps up in the Trafalgar square, and a few steps down later in the walk, it is on the flat, and at a comfortable speed, so it would be suitable for people of all ages. Sincere thanks go to Geoff for this unforgettable experience, which I would recommend without any reservations.
