Fabulous tour of deepest, darkest Soho

Lulu_M, Jan 2024

I bought tickets for this tour for my boyfriend and I and we certainly weren't disappointed! The tour around deepest darkest Soho was absolutely amazing! So many stories, brilliant photos of various points we stopped at compared to back in the 50's and 60's and the tour guide was absolutely awesome! Having lived and worked in Soho at the time of all the places we visited she was so interesting, funny and honestly made me long I'd been there with her!! Hones can't recommend this tour highly enough. So much packed into 2 hours and we're definitely booking for her Jack the Ripper tour very soon! Best end to a rainy Sunday afternoon! Totally loved this 🌟🌟🌟
