Very informative tour with a knowledgeable guide that walked through the different areas in sequential order so you really got the whole story of what is known. The weather didn’t cooperate, and there were torrential downpours throughout the tour, but Tyson kept a great attitude and we still had a good time!
Just a great walking tour...

Excellent tour with a really great guide! Doogle led our group expertly through the neighborhood with consideration of our ability to see the locations despite other groups being at the same locations. He told the stories with compassion and brought the history to life giving the victims a voice and setting the mood of the dark times they endured. This was a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!!
Interesting but hard to hear at times.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting. The only thing I would say negatively was that it was sometimes very hard to hear him. He looked away a lot while talking and at those times we missed the commentary.
Had a ripper time

Tour was fantastic. The guide waited briefly so no one was left behind, important as there were some tube closures. Very knowledgable and interesting portrayal of chronological events. Educational and respectful to the era and circumstances surrounding the victims. A longer tour than others. Great value for money. And we had the best guide.
Great Tour Guide
