Fantastic and gross - We were just looking for something to fill an evening and ended up having the most fun of the trip. It was a hilariously morbid tour and the guides (We had Mary and another whose name changed every time) were fantastic.

Excellent - Cary and co organised a specific walk for us around London Bridge and Borough as part of a work awayday - everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves despite the gruesome history! Highly recommended - particularly if accompanied by lunch at the George beforehand.

You will not regret...it is amazing - Fun learning, great experience. This was the second time for me and enjoyed. The team is very friendly, fun and incredibly knowledgeable: just with the Tour you learn galore; but there is more than that any question will have an answer, the tour lead has an incredible knowledge and he loves to share It. Well done Cloak and Dagger! Best tour I ever did!

Deliciously disgusting & gruesome! - Extremely informative & guaranteed to make you rethink London & Southwark's rich history. Cary's a great guide with an impressive knowledge of London's history. The tour's special guests were excellent. A really fun & interactive tour for locals & tourists alike. I've lived in the area for years & had no idea! If you want a historical tour with a difference, book this one. It won't disappoint.

Horrible (in the best way!) tour - The tour was very interesting and well done. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the disgusting history of Southwark. I would recommend for anyone interested in true and dark history.
