5.00We had a fantastic time on the Great Fire of London tour which was led by David. He gave a brilliant overview of the story of the fire with lots of stops around the area pointing out so many things we'd never noticed before. The tour was fascinating, the length was just right and David was an excellent tour guide who made us all feel welcome and engaged. I would absolutely recommend :)
Brilliant, fun and informative tour

5.00This was such a great experience! David was incredibly knowledgeable and did a fantastic job keeping the children engaged the whole time. He also went above and beyond to help me sort out an issue with my Groupon voucher before the tour started, which I really appreciated. The walk itself was fascinating and so enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the history of London!

5.00Thoroughly 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.

5.00This 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.

5.00Fantastic 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!
