5.00We had a lovely time doing a walking tour with Rich. He was highly knowledgeable about this home town as well as british culture and history. We covered about 10 main spots in the historical center of London and Rich definitely contributed to satisfy our interest about this iconic city, sharing with us some fun facts and curiosities too. He also gave us some recommendations about local food places and must-do activities while still in London. I would definitely recommend this tour and can't wait to be back in London for a second round. Thank you Rich, until next time! 👋🏼🙏🏼
