5.00Becky was a great guide. She researched and wrote this tour herself and she knows her subject matter! It was cold and wet but the content was fascinating. A great tour!
Highlight of our trip (twice)

5.00This was the second walking tour we’ve taken with Women of London and it was, as anticipated, excellent. (We took the Working Women of the East End walking tour a year ago and loved it so much that we booked the Women of Bloomsbury tour for this trip as soon as we saw it.) Becky, our guide for both tours, is friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her skilled storytelling, humor, and passion for the subject matter is infectious.

5.00Excellent tour! Becky, our guide (also the owner of the small company that creates and runs this tour) was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of London and women’s history. The tour is all about women, which is awesome, but you also learn so much about London’s history and the history of the neighborhoods you pass through. It also gave me the opportunity to see some posh, beautiful neighborhoods I’d never passed through before even while living in London as a student. We had 3 people (2 women & 1 man) on our tour, so it was nice and intimate, and Becky fielded a bunch of questions on a wide variety of topics like a pro! Really can’t say enough good things about this tour!! Do be prepared to walk (bring an umbrella and dress appropriately as you’ll be outside the entire time). Also, the tour is very substantive. Likely not great for children, but would be ok for a brainy middle schooler or high school student. Tour ends in the very pretty Gordon Sq. Park, which is well-situated to nearby restaurants and transport.
