When your booking is confirmed, you will receive contact details for me (Sandy) your guide on this tour. My aim is to give you, the client, the best experience you could possibly have so if you have any special requests, be sure to let me know what they are!
Your comfort is my priority - if you need to stop for a coffee or a comfort break, just let me know.
The tour will last up to 3.5 hours.

The tour will cover a distance of about 2 - 3 miles in total.
The tour will go ahead come rain or shine so please don't be put off by the weather. Do wear comfortable shoes and clothing. If needs be, bring waterproofs and an umbrella!
The tour is an outside walking tour but does include one internal stop to see the inside of Southwark Cathedral.
Unlike some other guides, I specialise in just five areas of London, Southwark being one of them. This means that I have detailed knowledge of the area which I pass on to my clients in a fun and interesting way.
100% of my Trip Advisor/Viator reviews are graded 'excellent' and as I now have over 175+ reviews in total, I must be doing something right!
I prefer to guide small groups of up to five family or friends so everyone can hear what I am saying above the usual street noises of a busy city. Also, everyone can ask as many questions as they like.
I ALWAYS contact my customers before a tour so if you have not heard from me one week before the date of the tour, please contact me instead.
I only accept bookings directly from customers. Any bookings made by a travel agent on behalf of a customer will be cancelled.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
