    For me this was a wonderful walk down memory lane with Sam providing new and forgotten information in a most engaging manner. A most enjoyable time.

    Sam Jacobs is the guide you have been looking for in London. In a mere six hours we walked through nearly 2000+ years of British History. Sam’s relationships opened doors to Royal Purveyors, provided fascinating insights on Royal intrigues, illuminated coffee’s role at the inception of Insurance & the Stock Market, access to Roman Temples, and so much more.

    Sam and Christian made a great team on the Secret Railways of London tour that I went on with some friends yesterday. It was a lovely two hours that sped past in a part of London I know well but I still learnt new facts. I’ll do Sam’s walks every time, highly recommended.
