5.00One of the most enjoyable afternoons ever! My husband and I throughly enjoyed the walk around Bloomsbury. The history on every corner and the stories we heard while walking was great! Ending at the British museum and have our guide show us the highlights to see and give us more perspective and history was the absolute best! When in London again we will look Bespoke tours and Jack our guide again! Highlight of our trip!

5.00Jack was a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable and able to tailor the information and reroute on the fly based on my interests! I was especially fascinated by the literary aspects of the tour, and Jack took me to all the secret treasures and antique bookstores in the area. Would recommend Jack to anyone who comes to London. My new bucket list is to knock off each of the tours with Bespoke Britain!!!

5.00My hubby and I stayed in Bloomsbury on our very first visit to London. We booked this tour with Jack for the morning of our arrival, hoping he’d introduce us properly to our “neighborhood”. Well, our walk with Jack exceeded all our expectations! First, Jack is a great communicator, and he was very flexible and considerate about our timing. We got off to a great start with this polite, enthusiastic, funny, knowledgeable, and engaging young man. He walked us past all the highlights of Bloomsbury, weaving interesting, informative, and FUN details all along the way. After two delightful hours, we bid farewell to Jack outside one of his favorite pubs for a bit of lunch. And for the remainder of our time in London, Bloomsbury did indeed feel like our very own neighborhood…thanks to Jack! We can whole-heartedly give Jack our highest recommendation! And we wish him great success in the future!
A wonderful experience

5.00“I just had the most incredible morning with a group of girlfriends and Jack from Bespoke Britain giving us a tour. We all live in London and wanted to deepen our knowledge of our neighborhood while spending time together. Jack was thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. He catered to our specific requests with the tour ending at a lovely restaurant where he had made reservations for us. It was a thought provoking, enriching and fun morning. Truly, could not recommend it enough.”

5.00I had the pleasure of taking this tour with a group of friends on brisk but bright February morning. Jack is an incredible, pleasant, knowledge filled tour guide that was incredibly engaging. He brought the areas deep and rich history to life by bringing together the historical facts peppered in with rich contextual anecdotes over periods of history. Thank you SO much Jack. I cannot wait to book a next tour with you.

5.00Had the pleasure of going on the Bloomsbusy tour this morning with a group of friends. Jack was INCREDIBLE. A relaxed and natural guide, our time together just flew by. Jack designed the tour around our interest in the arts and even booked us a lunch in a fabulous pub where the Bloomsbury Set would often meet. Jack has a gift for story telling and is a wealth of information. He was happy to answer any questions and had fascinating stories and cool things to point out at every turn. We couldn’t have hoped for a better morning. Thank You Jack -I cannot recommend Bespoke Britain highly enough! x
