A Must Do! - Tom's tour was incredibly informative and interesting; he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of London! We will definitely book another when we return to the city.

Excellent tour guide - Tom’s delivery was excellent. He didn’t overload us with too much information, despite his knowledge being encyclopaedic. He has clearly worked very hard to stick to the more interesting and entertaining facts. His diction was incredibly clear - without shouting and his demeanour very pleasant. He was happy to answer all the many questions he was asked and even share a web site he knew could answer the one obscure question he was unable to answer. I have several places I would like to visit now - on his recommendation. Thank you Tom.

Enlightening and entertaining. - Had a great day out with Tom walking round the city of London. Tom is a great guide. Very knowledgeable and a great mix of historical fact and anecdotes to stop it all being too dry. This was my second walk with Tom and I will probably do another as I enjoy them so much.

London walking tour. - We took the Roman Ruins to Blitz Bombings tour. So informative. Places that I had passed before but hadn’t noticed and certainly did not know the history of. Highly recommend it and Tom brought it all to life. Will be booking others.

A great way to spend a Saturday - I did the Roman ruins to blitz bombings tour with my Wife and a few friends. We have done a few of these but this up there with the best. The tour itself was great but made by our tour guide who made it interesting and fun and happy to answer any questions. It was also done at a nice pace. Thoroughly commended!

Really great tour !! - Fantastic tour. I very much enjoyed the walking tour. Tom was very articulate and didn't over complicate the historical facts. I liked the fact that he was happy to answer questions. I did get separated from the group at one point due to the crowded streets and Tom was happy to wait till I found the group again. I hope to be going on another tour with Tom this year.
