5.00Very interesting tour in a slightly off the beaten path. There was history, architecture, pop Culture, street Art, and even a little Jack the Ripper lore. Recommend ❤️👍

5.00We met Seneca for our tour and had a small group of 4. This is my fourth trip to London and my husband's first, so I felt that I could do the major sites for him, and wanted him to experience more that the usual. Seneca did a terrific job and we loved seeing the Great Fire monument and hearing that story, along with visiting two amazing open markets and hearing stories about some of the iconic building that became engineering disasters (since fixed) the Cheese Grater with it's falling bolts, the Walkie Talked with it's winds and directed sun rays the melted cars and bicycle seats and super-heating businesses on the ground level across the street. We even head a little about Jack the Ripper. Great tour and took us to places we wouldn't have known to search for!

5.00Senne (Sen-ah) showed us the ins and outs of London and area. We ended up walking in the rain which made the tour even better since it wasn’t as busy on the streets. Senne was very knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide. He shared history, contemporary art and cuisines that the average tourist wouldn’t know about. He was wonderful guide and the tour is WORTH IT!! Thanks from 🇨🇦!

5.00Great tour! Really personable guide. He's clearly interested in the area and sharing both historical and little known facts. I really apreciated seeing some of the lesser known stuff including the local street art and stories of some of the local characters in the area. Definitely worth your time. Bring your walking shoes!
Beautiful, historic London

5.00My girlfriends and I had a great tour with Senne. He was an engaging and informative guide and super accommodating to our interests. We enjoyed some fun and interesting stories about London, past and present and he helped us experience the old London beneath the layers of modern London. We visited and talked about key historic sites and their significance but also touched on how waves of immigration over centuries have influenced today’s city. He was great at sharing tips and anecdotes that made the tour very entertaining. Highly recommend.
We had a great to me!

5.00Thank you Senne that was such a good tour , we loved it! Senne showed us lots of really interesting places with great history and told us so many things , we could have kept going for hours. All our questions were answered seamlessly and he took us places we didn’t know existed and we are Londoners! I would do that tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommended Senne as a tour guide. Warm, interesting and very professional. Thank you
