Great Historical Tour with Tom - We had the pleasure of joining a historical tour led by Tom, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From start to finish, Tom impressed us with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and clear passion for the rich history that shaped the city of London. Tom guided us through some of the city’s iconic sights and hidden gems, bringing each location to life with fascinating facts and captivating stories. His friendly and approachable manner made it easy to ask questions, all of which he answered with enthusiasm and insight. He also went above and beyond by offering great suggestions for other places to visit and local spots to enjoy after the tour. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for London’s history and a list of new places to explore—thanks to Tom. If you’re looking for a tour that’s both informative and genuinely enjoyable, we highly recommend booking with Tom. You won’t be disappointed!

Informative - This is an extremely long walking tour, the guide points out all of the side attractions, where free museums with roman ruins and artifacts. I would not recommend it for anybody who has any type of mobility issues.

Perfection in a walk - Tom is the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. Knows his stuff and knows his returning customers (this is our fourth walk with him). Can't recommend him highly enough.

Interesting and educational tour led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide - I've done a tour with Tom before and so chose him again when some friends wanted a fun/educational day out in London for a 50th birthday. This was the perfect tour - interesting, well presented and a genuine eye-opener for everyone. I am definitely going to book some more of Tom's tours in future for friends and family. Thoroughly recommended !

- London is an amazing city that everyone should experience, but the history behind it is even more amazing, as was this tour! We could not have asked for a better tour guide than Tom; we walked around the City of London and he took us through London's history, from Roman times all the way through present day. It was like got a semester-long history class that Tom took us through in just a few hours! This was probably my favorite thing we did during our stay in London.
