brilliant morning in the City of London - Amazing time in the City which, although I thought I knew well, Suzy managed to tell and show me things which were previously unknown to me. She did so with Ă©lan and humour and it was sheer pleasure to be in her company for the morning. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and look forward to doing another tour with her in the upcoming months.

Informative & helpful - The tour was a excellent help, in understanding London better as a fashion place in the past history & I left better understanding the city of London overall. Would recommend anyone who wants to learn about London's significance in history to do the tour.

A new look at the City - This was a fascinating tour with a completely new to me focus on how the City worked as a shopping and manufacturing centre for clothes from Roman times. Susannah was an engaging and informative guide.
