Something a little different - Rachel was such a fun guide! The off the beaten path locations and cool stories were so interesting. What a great way to see a little more than the tourist top 10.

A day to remember - Lincoln’s Inn Royal courts of Justice
We loved the church Paul our guide took us to with the remains of a Roman wall.
A great day out. Thank you Paul

It's Willy Wonka for grown-ups. - This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and charming. It truly lives up to its name, at least for me, and so far as you'll go down a bottlenecked alleyway, which will open up to a fantasia incredible open spaces that are cloistered by trees and buildings. Lots of fascinating stories and history. Such a great value too.

So, so - Wanted to hear more about the Knights Templar and given an opportunity to go into the church . We were prepared to pay for entry fees but felt rushed to get going again. Not given the opportunity to enter. We spent more time at the “Roman” bath. Felt our guide was more interested in being funny than informative at times.
