Our tour guide Laurence was extremely friendly and kind. When everyone on the tour canceled except for us, he tailored our tour to cover our interests. He took us to a few delicious food stops that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about.
Perfect tour guide!

It was a most informative walking tour. Our guide, Sheldon, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area, and also injected some humour into his talk. I feel quite fortunate to have chosen Soho as our ‘home base’ while in London!
Excellent tour of Soho and beyond

Our guide Becky was personable, engaging and thoughtful about adapting the tour to our expressed interests. Plenty of local knowledge and deep education informed her descriptions of what we were seeing. She even kept our youngest son engaged, not an easy thing! Recommended!
