I am a big fan of tours, but this one takes the cake. Quirky and different, we had a blast exploring Southwark's sordid (disgusting, bloody, smelly) past. Our guide really made the whole scene come to life. If you like being grossed out, I highly recommend it, and will bring my teens next time, too.

Enjoyed learning about the local history of this part of London. We walked to various places along the Thames and learnt about the life of common people of that time; also got the visit of surprised guests. I would not recommend kids attending, we are talking about a dark side of the city, with some very explicite details.

Insightful, informative and interesting. Will is absolutely fantastic, he engaged everyone with his tremendous knowledge and excellent delivery. The actors were top notch, I loved the costumes too! Beautiful, historic locations, including Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market, Winchester Palace remains, London Bridge and Clink Prison. This is some of the best fun you will ever have, the stories you will hear are gruesome but they’re very tongue in cheek. 12+ recommended

Devonpair

Fun and light hearted 2hr stroll around Southwark. Scary Mary fed us increasingly "worse, much worse" morsels of disgusting and grisly tales of lical live throughout history. She was great fun, totally in charachter and keeping our small group involved and amused. Recommended.

Even though it was very cold Mary did a great job keeping everyone interested and engaged. I would recommend

Although I expected a tour along (creepy) historical places, the guide was extremely funny, knowlegable and entertaining!! Even so, after 2+ hrs of standing on chilly streets listening to (rather long) talks, I did long for the end...

Angelo_T
