    Wonderful, friendly and informative tour

    Kelly_W, Dec 2024
    Our guide Stephen was spectacular! He walked us through all the important sights, gave detailed history stories, took our pictures when we wanted… we couldn’t have asked for anything better. His friendly and helpful demeanor made the tour so personalized.

    Interesting, informative, enjoyable

    An excellent guided tour around Borough- an area we have visited many times without really knowing the hidden gems, literary connections or history. Stephen, our guide, was interesting and informative. The tour was well paced and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend.

    Christine_M, Aug 2021
    Really enjoyed learning so much about the area around Borough Market. Very informative and well worth the money. Will definitely book more guided walks in the future.

    Fantastic tour with guide

    Isabella_W, Mar 2020
    I was very happy to find out on meeting the guide just near borough market that it was just going to me and the tour guide. He took me along for a fantastic walk and we saw some amazing places and learnt some great facts. He left me at the Tate modern which I explored for 2 hours. I would definitely recommend for the young and old.
