I really enjoyed this tour, I learned a lot about the City of London that I didn’t know, having lived in America my entire life. It was very informative and interesting. I would have never guessed there was so much history behind some of the buildings we saw if I had only seen them in passing.

Really enjoyed my tour and saw some fantastic landmarks of London that I had no idea about. Susannah was so knowledgeable about the history of London and incorporated some weird and wonderful facts and stories which kept us all entertained. Will definitely book another of her tours as it was a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning. Can’t wait for the next one! Great present for a loved one and the price is too low in my opinion for what you get.

Susannah was a marvelous guide, very knowledgeable but friendly and relaxed so at no time did we feel we were being lectured. Every stop was relevant and interesting and despite the bitter cold I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and will definately book again.
