Customer Reviews
Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about London history and the many cultures there. Great guy, great food!
What a treat for us as we were the only two on the tour. Issac was amazing as he had so many stories about this historic area. The stops for food were great fun but we especially enjoyed hearing about the culture and diversity of this area. Definitely five stars.
I had just arrived in London after a 24hour flight from Sydney and this afternoon your was the perfect way to stretch my legs, get some fresh air and explore a new (well old) and vibrant part of London. The tour guide was very knowledgeable on the area.
