Amazing - I took the tour on the morning of International women’s day as a way of celebrating and it was the perfect choice. Emily was an amazing guide who really managed to keep the group entertained and interested throughout. And her passion for the women honoured showed through wonderfully. Couldn’t recommend more.

Brilliant tour. Inspiring, shocking, intelligently told. Superb! - This was a superb tour. It was so interesting hearing about inspiring individuals and their stories, the culture of the society in which they lived, all linked to the different places we visited. I felt both inspired, shocked and moved by our Guide Becky's thoughtful, well-crafted, intelligent and vivid story-telling which helped us look beyond simple wall plaques and gave us deeper insight into the people and realities of the time. She had such depth of knowledge, but made it so accessible. I thought she, and the whole experience was brilliant - I cannot recommend this highly enough!!!

Fabulous Feminists! - Over 2.5 hours we immersed ourselves as Walking Women in the lives and stories of the Working Women of the East End. So many amazing stories of community organizers, magistrates, trade unionists avant la lettre etc. who trailblazed the way for general voting rights, bodily autonomy, labour rights. Learned so much from our guide Becky, who amplified the voices and gave them agency and dignity.

Great tour guide, great history - I bought this a birthday present for my partner and we had a brilliant time. Becky was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour was perfectly judged in terms of walking distances and points of interest. We had, perhaps shamefully, little prior knowledge of the history Becky spoke about, which made it really worth while.
