Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the great fire of London. Our guide David was so informative and interesting and told the story of the great fire so well. I learned so much about it. Visiting the actual sites affected by the fire and finishing where it started brought the whole thing to life. So many interesting locations including the monument to the great fire. Would thoroughly recommend this tour for all ages and am very much looking forward to doing more heritage guides tours.

This Heritage Guides tour through the history and sites of the Great Fire of London was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. Our guide David is knowledgeable, interesting, engaging and amusing and he led us through the pathway of the fire with tremendous enthusiasm and in depth knowledge. The tour went by very quickly as we were very engaged and facinated. There was quite an age range in our group and David engaged very effectively and appropriately with all ages. Very much looking forward to doing more Heritage Guides tours in the future and would highly recommend this one.
Fascinating and enjoyable

Fantastic tour, the perfect length, punchy and they provided so many facts I had no idea about, even after living in London for 12 years. David was super entertaining and the walk through the city was lovely sneaking down old roads off the busy thoroughfare. Highly recommend.
Brilliant tour with excellent guide!

Fantastic tour! Our guide was incredible, and took us through parts of the city I (a life-long Londoner) never knew existed.
