Great tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an exceptionally great tour with Caroline! It was a joy to walk with someone who feels so passionately about what they're doing. Caroline is very knowledgeable about London, its history and important people/ events, the buildings and attractions. She takes great care of everyone in the group and the whole tour is planned very carefully with great attention to detail. Be it the walking route, the story telling, the handy tips and tricks what else to do in London, where to go ... even the loo breaks and lunch break were timed perfectly! Caroline was carrying a headset with a small loudspeaker and this was very helpful to always be able to hear what she was telling. We enjoyed our tour immensely, it was great fun and very interesting! 10/10, we recommend it strongly!

Best 5 hours in London!

Published on Sep, 2024

Wow! What a fantastic walking tour. Caroline contacted us a few days out with all the details and even the weather forecast. She was incredibly knowledgeable and catered for a detour to accomodate one of our “must sees” along the way. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to all tourists. Thanks Caroline! Chris & Christine.
