5.00Mick was extremely well versed in all the medieval kings, queens and scandals! Even as he led us from place to place, he kept us entertained with information and small talk. We had a member who was having difficulty keeping pace with the group, so he began to walk slower and find places to stop near a spot to sit. That made our tour run a little long, but he was in no way annoyed and made certain that everyone was included. Mick had pictures to show us to help visualize what was going on through this time period. The entire group seemed very much engaged the entire time. Be aware - this is a lengthy walking tour over cobblestones and staircases. We were thoroughly pleased and would definitely recommend this tour!

5.00I’m a big fan of history. I loved this experience. I loved listening to the stories of London. The stories behind the buildings, the bridges, the plagues, the fires, the people. Stories about the royalty, the nobility, the peasants of the medieval times. Even stories of more modern day, right up to the world wars. Micks telling of the stories brought history to life. He made a point of speaking to each group. Asking them about themselves. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of the questions the group had. Highly recommend this walking tour to anyone interested in history
A very informative and fun historical walking tour.

5.00My kids and I really enjoyed this tour, a good combination of taking us to well known and less well known historical sites, with a knowledgeable guide explaining their significance and spicing it up with some salacious tales. My kids tuned in mostly for the latter, but we still had plenty to talk about afterwards. A very fun, and warm tour guide, and great sites to visit.
Awesome tour
