    The tour was amaizing!! So refreshing and different compared to the typical sightseeing walking tour you would expect. The guide was very knowledgeable and funny and the lenght of the tour was just right, not too long or too short. If you have time I highly reccomend giving this tour a visit :)

    Booked a last minute impromptu walking tour to try to expand my knowledge on the history of slavery. This tour delivered everything I could have asked for and more. Sam is a well of knowledge covering the history of slavery from both an architectural point of view and then supported in oral history and imagery that he has collected over his studies. Truly a great and memorable experience that will have you quickly clamoring for another tour.

    Sam spoke with clarity; he was engaging and very knowledgeable giving us insight into Roman and Victorian London. Very informative with regards to the African Roman Emperor being the builder of the wall. An uplifting tour of British history. I enjoyed walking the familiar streets of London and finding out about the significance of landmarks. An easy walk: the 2 hours went fast. Highly recommend this tour! Sam was amazing!

    The walk covered a history of London that most of us would have knowledge of but not in the independent way that Sam our guide bestowed upon us. We discovered London is split in three separate parts, it has a wall that once surrounded it and that Britain's slave past covers 2000 years and began with the enslavement of their own people, The British themselves. Definitely worth going to I would highly recommend.
