Fantastic insight into the Roman roots of London - I booked this tour because I wanted to know about London’s ancient roots. This tour answered all my questions, and it was a really very well articulated presentation. The leader Tom is very intelligent and takes his work seriously – although he does have a wee sense of humor. I found it very informative and I would recommend it to anyone.

Forget Jack The Ripper tours - Wish I’d found out about Tom’s tours sooner. Engaging, insightful, knowledgeable and wished it had lasted longer. Will rebook!

Amazing - A fantastic 2 hours of seeing the real old London with Tom an excellent guide. I would recommend this walk for those interested in London History. It was the highlight of our London trip. I wouldn’t recommend this walk for children. On my next visit I will definitely do another one of Toms walks.

Absolutely wonderful - Absolutely brilliant couple of hours. Tom was very knowledgeable with many anecdotes. Our group was only 7 people so also very personal. Well worth putting aside the time for this wonderful walk through history.

Excellent Walking Tour in The City of London - We did the Roman Ruins to Blitz Bombings tour and it was excellent. Tom is a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We learnt so many interesting facts about the City of London in our 2 hours. We're already booked to do another tour next month and will definitely be booking more!

Great walking talk, lots of fascinating facts - What an amazing experience, very knowledgeable and engaging tour. Having studied so much history over the years its incredible how many facts i did not know. The walking tour was at a pace, as there was a lot to cram in, so i certainly got my steps in. Well worth the money spent, i am considering another trip to London in a few months and will pick up another tour then. I would 100 % recommend to people who have a geniune interest in London history.
