You’ll wander the squares and routes that played parts in major cultural events.

Excellent tour of Soho and beyond - Our guide Becky was personable, engaging and thoughtful about adapting the tour to our expressed interests. Plenty of local knowledge and deep education informed her descriptions of what we were seeing. She even kept our youngest son engaged, not an easy thing! Recommended!

Great Soho tour - Anthony was excellent! Knowledgeable and. Witty. Really enjoyed the tour! Would recommend if you want to get to know the area as well as get little tidbits you would not know unless someone with deep knowledge of the history would share with you.

Yummie Soho - We really enjoyed our tour with Tony around Soho - it was a great mix between London history, Soho cultural life and funny stories. He showed us a lot of go-to places like restaurants, pubs, clubs and theatres.
Be careful: you definitely get hungry during the tour :)
