Fun Tour - The tour was interesting and entertaining. Maggie was very informative. She and her co-worker were very good and gave the history of this part of London a different perspective.

My favorite dark history tour to date! - This tour was FANTASTIC! The history is perfectly dark, and a great way to discover a different side of the city. We highly recommend this one. It will leave you talking about the tales well beyond your trip. Not for littles. Adults only. Easy walking for most people.

Very enjoyable two hours of fun - Loved this. Just what my daughter and I were after. Silly history, but interesting and informative as well. I particularly enjoyed acting hung, drawn and quartered with our guide (Ollie)! Good interactions as well from the actor who came up at various times. She was great!

The Cloak and Dagger Immersive History Tour - My friends and I had a wonderful experience on the Cloak and Dagger Immersive History Tour. Our guide, Maggie, was brilliant. She was hugely entertaining, had a wicked sense of humour and was extremely knowledgeable. The actor, Harold, was also superb and added to what was already a great experience. I thoroughly recommend this tour which started and finished at the George Inn.

A great night - Didn't really know what to expect ( I have done other London Walks) but this two hour walk/talk was fabulous - many thanks to Maggie who was brilliant and her colleague Harold. Three of us went and we were all so interested in what Maggie told us and some really disgusting facts 🤣. London is such an interesting place and would highly recommend this tour

London’s Darker side - We wanted to do something different so we chose to go on this tour. Ollie our guide gave a gruesome and gory details of a part of history no one speaks of. We had a small group so we were able to ask lots of questions. We throughly enjoyed it and learned a great more details of Londons history. Don’t hesitate to book a tour. You won’t regret it.

Absolutely fantastic - We attending a guided tour with Maggie and her co-star who's name we didn't catch - both were fantastic. It was only a small group when we attended but they still gave it their all. We learned lots of interesting facts with laughs along the way. We've been of the kinds of walks and this was definitely up there with best. The tour guides were really engaging and fun which really kept us interested. Can't recommend it enough.
