Fun tour - We arrived just before the schuled time, only to find tour had already started, if we had arrived exactly at the scheduled time the tour would have already moved on. But apart from that, the tour was brilliant. Our guide Mary B was easy to hear, engaging, informative and fun. Would do this tour again.

Wonderful Tour of London’s Gruesome History - I did this tour on 29th June with my brother and we’re both tour guides in London, so it seemed like an interesting concept and it certainly was that! Mary B was the tour guide, dressed in appropriate costume and joined occasionally by another actor who interacted wonderfully well with her. She was engaging, entertaining, funny and a great story teller as she walked us around the London Bridge area, bringing to life its gruesome history. Well done on a wonderful tour Mary B! 👏🏻

Great interactive experience - It was an amazing tour. The family thinks it was probably the best of London! We would strongly recommended for a dose of history, fun, and just… London. The interaction with the tour guides was amazing! The price point could not be beaten… And it was better than the other nine tours we went on. Go now have fun.
