Fun walk around Hidden London - Rosie was terrific! If you've seen all the big London attractions them this tour is a must. Finding the quieter nooks of the city is so nice. And I've become a huge Samuel Johnson fan!

A great guide - Rosie was great, really fun and brought the stories to life. It was really interesting and she pointed out things that we'd never have noticed had we'd been on our own. The visit to the Temple area was particularly brilliant, like a calm oasis in the centre of London. Thanks Rosie.

Excellent Rainy day walking tour in London - Emily was wonderful. It was a bit of a rainy day and I ended up being the only person to show up for the tour. She was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of local and historical insights about each location that we stopped at. I highly recommend this walking tour especially if you’re looking for something that’s out of the ordinary tourist activity in London.

Hidden sights of Temple and Fleet Street - A great 1 ½ hour tour even having lived in or near London for decades and knowing it quite well. Emily was a great guide and her knowledge of facts expanded on the less known of the Temple and Fleet Street areas.
