Perfection in a walk - Tom is the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. Knows his stuff and knows his returning customers (this is our fourth walk with him). Can't recommend him highly enough.

Interesting and educational tour led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide - I've done a tour with Tom before and so chose him again when some friends wanted a fun/educational day out in London for a 50th birthday. This was the perfect tour - interesting, well presented and a genuine eye-opener for everyone. I am definitely going to book some more of Tom's tours in future for friends and family. Thoroughly recommended !

- London is an amazing city that everyone should experience, but the history behind it is even more amazing, as was this tour! We could not have asked for a better tour guide than Tom; we walked around the City of London and he took us through London's history, from Roman times all the way through present day. It was like got a semester-long history class that Tom took us through in just a few hours! This was probably my favorite thing we did during our stay in London.

Excellent tour guide - Tom’s delivery was excellent. He didn’t overload us with too much information, despite his knowledge being encyclopaedic. He has clearly worked very hard to stick to the more interesting and entertaining facts. His diction was incredibly clear - without shouting and his demeanour very pleasant. He was happy to answer all the many questions he was asked and even share a web site he knew could answer the one obscure question he was unable to answer. I have several places I would like to visit now - on his recommendation. Thank you Tom.

Enlightening and entertaining. - Had a great day out with Tom walking round the city of London. Tom is a great guide. Very knowledgeable and a great mix of historical fact and anecdotes to stop it all being too dry. This was my second walk with Tom and I will probably do another as I enjoy them so much.

London walking tour. - We took the Roman Ruins to Blitz Bombings tour. So informative. Places that I had passed before but hadn’t noticed and certainly did not know the history of. Highly recommend it and Tom brought it all to life. Will be booking others.
