Hidden Gem - Brilliant! A wealth of knowledge from our guide Ed. Funny, entertaining and really insightful. Pace was great, not too strenuous, but nicely timed and kept a great flow. Balance of information and fun and some places we never would have discovered on our own. Highly reccomend.

What a brilliant way to spend your time while visiting London! - This is the first walking tour I’ve been on, ever, and found this tour when searching for things to do in the city for myself and the family. The tour guides are fun and knowledgeable, their insights into Shakespeare and his history around the city are insightful. And excellent thing to do at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

A good day out! - We absolutely loved this tour. We went as a family during our visit to London, and it really was a highlight. Danielle was fantastic! It was great seeing so much of London along the way, and the time just flew by. Highly recommend it. Oh, and the Elizabethan biscuits were delicious and a nice added touch.

A really memorable tour - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I’m a big Shakespeare fan and walking through London and seeing the different sites that Shakespeare lived, worshipped and socialised at, was fantastic. The guide read some fascinating letters, which really brought the Elizabethan era to life. I particularly enjoyed raising a glass to the Bard and being able to sample a traditional Elizabethan treat! A really memorable afternoon in London.
