The guide was terrible. He was senile. He was not well versed in the court details. He kept getting lost

I cannot say enough great things about this experience and particularly, Mike Daly, our tour guide. He took so much care to show us the vast history of England's legal system. We especially enjoyed the tour of the inside of the Royal Courts of Justice. He made us feel at home and knew this subject very well. I would recommend this tour to anyone - particularly lawyers. We enjoyed great conversation at the end at a nice and cozy pub on a cold day - sitting in a double decker London bus that the pub has on offer. 10 out of 10 experience.
Highly recommend

My husband and I are both older lawyers from Canada. As such we have heard a lot about the Halls of Justice and Inns of Court. We found it fascinating to actually be in those places and to sit in a courtroom where all the barristers wore wigs! We had not realized how extensive the Inns of Court were or how beautiful their gardens were. We were essentially on a private tour and our guide Muhsin was very informative and accommodating to our interests. I would recommend this tour to others.

Mike was very knowledgeable and catered to what we wanted to see and do during the law tour, even stopping in to listen to a case being heard. In one of the courts

I am a retired American attorney and booked this tour out of professional interest. Muhsin was simply amazing as my guide. He was well-versed, thorough, and always ready with a fascinating insight or detail as we went along. I highly recommed him for this or any tour of London, for that matter. His experience and knowledge of seemingly anything London-related was simply extraordinary. Conversant, affable, and with a great sense-of-humor, you will not be disappointed with Muhsin.

Our guide Mike was pleasant and friendly. About an hour into the tour, my mother was struggling with some of the walking and Mike completely rearranged the agenda to accommodate her concerns. We learned about this history of the London legal system and he also shared information with us about the City Liveries, which was quite interesting. We would highly recommend this tour, and would suggest asking for Mike.
Excellent

Fortunately, the weather was nice for our tour and walking to the various sites was very enjoyable. As a retired attorney and Judge in the US, it was great to visit the sites which are the basis for our legal system. Our tour guide, Muhisin Mustaffa was very knowledgeable and gave very detailed interesting stories of places especially Royal Courts of justice. As a retired attorney and Judge, I really enjoyed seeing the Law Courts. We would recommend our guide to others without hesitation!’’
