This unique experience led by the Tour Guide and Fan Making Teacher: Victoria Ajoku was absolutely excellent! Victoria is so passionate and fun! Within the day, you start with a lovely walk around the Greenwich Peninsula & Design District, with Victoria who reveals fascinating information about the history of the area, including the public contemporary murals/artworks that appear along the way. During the walking tour, Victoria encouraged us feel inspired by the public sculptures we saw on each stop, and to think of the Peninsula area as 'our canvas to create on' (we learnt that in many ways, this was how the architects who had built on the Peninsula, have also related this space to their craftwork/s). After a splendid lunch (included on the tour), from food vendors we got to choose from, we then made our way to a craft making venue to get creative via a 'hands on' workshop. I valued hearing about the history of fans and discovering how the collaboration of Greenwich Royal Tours and Victoria is a major and positive movement, ensuring the practice of fan making progress forward, as the art of fan making is a critically endangered craft in the UK. I throughly enjoyed designing my own hand-fan as a bespoke, inspirational souvenir of the area and tour experience as a whole. So many colourful memories, I greatly recommend this tour.

All sites visited was a blend of art, education and historical. I was overwhelmed such places exist in Greenwich, Victoria was amazing l, vibrant and friendly. The whole tour was refreshing and got me using my hands again, which I really enjoyed as much as the food. We had options of food varieties which was lovely in a decent restaurant. I am surely revisiting Greenwich with more friends and will highly recommend everyone around the world to do so.

Amazing view, the river looks wonderful from above. You have to take a car cable that is like a glass egg and on a cable you pass over the river. It is safe and stable as well as economical.

Lovely views and a very informative leaflet that helped you spot specific locations as you went up to 90 meters high. Just a warning that in the night time to be cautious; when we went, a lot of dodgy people around. A couple of the staff were also really unfriendly and unprofessional so that wasn’t so good.
Wonderful day out

We had a truly wonderful day out on the Greenwich Peninsula tour. Our guide was fun and clearly knew his stuff. Highlights included amazing views from Emirates gondola ride over Thames river and the beer sampling at Meantime Brewery. Highly recommended! - Christine, London
