Despite the pouring rain, our guide Michael engaged with the group with humour and enthusiasm. Worth every penny for a 2 hour tour with a guide who clearly loves his job.
Great

A really interesting and engaging walking tour. Mick was fantastic, very funny and knowledgeable, and answered every question thrown at him. He engaged every member of the group asking where they were from making sure everyone had a good experience. A fascinating insight into London that we didn’t know.
About fires and beheadings, about death and conquests...

Mike was a great story teller! Our kids (11 and 12) were very intrigued by what he had to tell. Also very funny from time to time 😀 Highly recommended walking tour if you are interested in history.

Mick gave a great historical tour. We saw parts of the city we would never have known what they were on our own. He wasn't "scripted" in that he had constant interaction historically as well as broader than the topics. I would highly recommend taking his tours. My next time visiting the UK, I will be looking to book his Buckingham Tour.
Five stars!
