Very interesting tour -... - Very interesting tour - brings ancient London to life right before your eyes. Simple things you probably wouldn't notice if rushing round the city but which tell the stories of the past. Really enjoyed it

Really fun, interesting tour. Would reccomend to anyone - Thoroughly fun and interesting tour with Jess. This is the second tour that I have had with him and they're brilliant. Really interesting to see unique and non mainstream pieces of London's history. As a Londoner who lives in the city, it's amazing how much fascinating history I walk past everyday without having an idea. 10/10 would reccomend all of the Fun London Tours to anyone
