Great tour! - Mick is a veritable treasure trove of information! I have no idea how one person can know so many facts and figures…and I’m sure we heard only a minor fraction of what he knows. The best part was he presented it all in such an understandable, relaxed way that it was easy to stay attentive the whole time. This is a fantastic tour to see old London and highlights that should be seen when visiting this historic city.

Walk around the Towrr, Tower Bridge, Borough Markets, Globe, & St Paul’s - Mick was a great guide. We wanted to learn our way around that section of London so we could come back and stay longer. We learned about the history of the area in a fun way. He got us to the best spots for pictures. He spent time talking to each tour member as we went along. He got me back to the tube & made sure I’d get on the right train.

Mick packs a lot of stories and facts into this walk, and has lots of extra bits to add as you walk along. He takes great pictures by some of the iconic features along the walk if you want him to.

Great experience - Mick was incredible and has been my favorite tour I’ve been on . So much knowledge and really knows facts that aren’t more mainstream but most people shouldn’t know some of the things he knew. Can’t recommend Mick enough!

You will NOT regret taking this tour!!! - Mick was such an excellent host! We did not get to London when we were supposed to due to the fire at Heathrow. We missed our initial tour time and Mick offered for us to join the tour on the next day. The tour was SO interesting and introduced us to many things we probably would have unknowingly walked right past. We have a 7 and 12 year old and they both were enthralled the entire time! I cannot recommend this fascinating tour enough!
