Birthday surprise tour - Our tour guide Matt was lovely & very knowledgeable, he kept everything fun & interesting with all the little secrets we came across on the tour. He engaged with everyone & got us all discussing the secrets. Roughly 2hrs but the time flew by, will definitely be going on another of his tours. Thank you Angela & Tracey

A pleasant walk around central London. - Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. We were shown many places in central London with weird and off-beat histories. Mostly very amusing. My only criticism was I found him hard to understand or to actually hear. He usually spoke while facing multiple directions and finishing sentences in strangely hushed tones. This was made worse by many sites having loud background noise. His animated mannerisms suggest a theatrical background.
