Fantastic experience and knowledgeable guides - Was the best way to see all the major locations in London. We did the Jack the Ripper walking tour with James. His knowledge and storytelling skills were amazing. He made us feel like we were back in those days when Jack was at his busiest! We also did the night tour with Owen. His humour and knowledge made this tour so enjoyable. The included river cruise was also a highlight. Definitely recommend this company and their guides.
