Secrets of central London - Short walk. Good pace. Very entertaining leader who certainly knew his home town. I liked the links to movies. I would certainly have walked past some of the alley ways oblivious to how interesting they were.

Fun way to spend a couple hours walking around London - Joe was fun guide with deep “Knowledge” - he struck the perfect balance of interesting information with dry wit and humor - be sure to ask for him by name!

Paul was fun and knowledgeable. Please pass on my apology for leaving early as I took a detour and then lost them! - Took me to little streets I didn’t know existed. To add to the day a visit to Covent Garden was a huge surprise with the annual Punch and Judy Fair.

The guide did not turn up - The guide never turned up - we waited at the meeting point at Trafalgar square for 1/2 hour together with 14 other guests Really frustrating. A kind English guest contacted the company- they apologized and offered a new tour. But our last afternoon in London was dedicated to the tour. Bad luck!
