Yay yay yay! At last a welcoming place and people for my long cherished cheese jokes :) Fabulous tour, learned loads and not just about fromage, some interesting and delicious samples throughout, and Jack! Great guide, funny, enthusiastic and très knowledgeable. Walked through nice little corners of the city. Do it!

The host, Nat, was amazing! Great way of seeing London (virtually) from a different perspective. Would definitely recommend.

KathHowell

The small group size lead us to participate more, which made it more interactive and tailored. Lots of interesting information, but really appreciated the host hanging around afterwards and just chatting. Not just a passive encounter, as close as you can get to a genuine tour guide. Highly recommend.

MisterCambridge

Nat was excellent and very enterprising doing what must be quite a difficult job over zoom. But she kept us all really engaged and entertained, and had a great sense of humour.

Person talked too quickly just gabbling and far too little to do. The Scrooge experience was great but this was very poor. We stopped after about 15 minutes.

A lot of interesting information and very interactive as well with a fun game. Definitely worth doing the tour.

I booked this tour having done the Jack the Ripper tour, which I really enjoyed. I didn’t know what to expect, as I knew nothing about the subject matter, but I thought it might be a fun way to pass the time during this period, and thought I might learn a few things. The guide was very good, and gave a wealth of information. To be honest though, the subject matter wasn’t really for me. If you’re a fan of James Bond and spies, then you’ll love this tour, but I wasn’t as hooked on this tour as I was with the Jack the Ripper Tour, and the Ghosts and Ghouls tour I’ve done since. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy, as I did learn a few interesting things, and as I said, the guide was very good, I just feel it’s more suitable for James Bond fans. One thing I would have preferred to was to have the quiz at the end of the tour rather than throughout the tour, as I felt it distracted me from the content of the tour. Very good value for money, and highly recommend for people with and interest in the subject matter.

Very Friendly and knowledgeable guide. The quiz questions were fun. My second virtual tour and would sign in again.

Natalie (Agent N) was super friendly and really informative. Maybe I’m biased because my team won!! Very happy with the questions and codes section of the tour. Lots of fun :)
