5.00I had Natasha as a tour guide and must say she did the job extra good. She was fun and entertaining yet very educational. She told stories that will stick in my memory for a long time. Also, all the questions asked, she knew the answer to it. She also showed some hidden sides of London, which I would never discover by my self. I am very joyful that I came across her as she made my tour worthwhile!
