Loved it. - I loved it, Caroline received us somewhat late because we got lost before we arrived, and she was very kind to us. I understood myself very well, even though my English is not the best and I loved how he led the tour music every moment. I thought it was very original. I was sorry I wasn't there from the start. Very cool. I recommend it with her

Nice tour with knowledgeable and friendly guide - We booked and took this tour on April 22nd, using the London Pass. The guide (I think her name was Rachel) was very knowledgeable and introduced us to many places and secrets of the area covered, better than we could have done alone. Thanks also to Kay from the administration for accepting my written request.

It's more of a cultural tour! - We took an afternoon tour on 3rd April. If someone is really interested in Music, Art & culture in general, you'll love the Camden tour! The joints where the famous musicians of London visited were pretty much covered. For a family with kids that's not really into English music, it did turn a bit boring in places as the guide was pretty mechanical and Lacked humour.
