Fantastic tour with an amazing guide - My daughter and I went on a fantastic tour of Roman ruins to Blitz bombings with Tom. He was a gifted storyteller and an excellent guide. I have taken many tours of the City of London over the past 20 years, but today I learnt a lot of new facts. Tom was really knowledgable. He was also super helpful in answering questions. Without doubt we will book another tour with Tom. Highly recommended.

Entertaining "walk with a talk" through The City - This was a fascinating and entertaining "walk with a talk" through The City. The guide is self-employed and his passion for the subject shows through in the extensive knowledge and attention to detail of the content and the enthusiasm with which he presents his talk. The style is "entertaining" rather than "academic" but that is not to devalue in any way the historical content. I worked in and walked around The City for almost 40 years and have always been interested in it's history, but I saw details and learned facts which had passed me by previously. One comment is that the walking pace between the stopping points for each set piece talk is quite quick; it's a purposeful walk not a stroll. That was fine for us but anyone who has walking difficulties might take note. Also it is a good deal of walking and standing for more than an hour and 45 mins. Overall excellent and we will most likely book another tour in the future.

Really good tour - definitely recommend - This was a great tour through the history of the City of London! Tom was a brilliant guide, with so many interesting facts and insights that he presented with cheerful enthusiasm. As a Londoner, I really enjoyed having fascinating things pointed out that I would have unknowingly walked past before.

Recommend as a starting point for London history - Tom is a fantastic and engaging tour guide. Two hours isn’t enough to properly explore the history of the city, but he does a great job of illustrating how the city builds on itself in iterative fashion.

Great tour - City to Fleet Street - This is an excellent tour. We live in London but did not know all this amazing history and the guide had lots of fun facts - extremely knowledgeable and obviously both does the research and loves history. Would recommend for a history of the City of London - you see things you don’t know existed.
