Deep dive into London history (Borough Market, The Klink, etc.) - Mary tried very hard, and she was so expressive. We found ourselves being transitioned back in time to learn about the true history of London's beginnings and history. Her technique kept you glued into her every word, and I don't think that we will ever forget it. It is very worthwhile. It was my wife, my 14-year-old daughter, and me.

Walking tour of Southwark - Our guide, Will, knows more about the history of the area than you can imagine; he has an answer for every question! Tour is a great value and was 3+ hours long! Very informative! Loved the special guest!

Larcenous London Tour - The tour was very surprising because it focused on the history of the underbelly of English society. I like how they included historical references to common words and phrases we use today. Our guide was very informative and organized the details well and also had a companion who stopped in and represented different roles involving the common man such as a serf.
I learned a lot, but I will caution that this history does focus on the seamy side. Do not book if you have a weak stomach and do not bring anyone under 16. Strong profanity is used but always explained in an historical context.

Unique walking tour with fun surprises! - This tour was a ton of fun! Our guide, Mary, was super knowledgeable about Southwark so we learned a lot. But there were also fun twists and surprises along the way. It was highly entertaining while still being informative. The harsh realities of Southwark life in the past were not sugar-coated, so just a heads up if that is not your cup of tea. But if you are amenable to excellent story telling that skews more towards the realities of the day, I highly recommended this tour!

Great History of London - The guide Mary was great and very enthusiastic. She really knew all the history of Southwark and meeting point at George inn takes you back in time. Thus is not a ghost tour but more history
