5.00As a new traveller to London, it helped ground me in just one aspect of London’s history. The tour guide was wonderful!
Fascinating, historic part of town

5.00Such a fascinating part of town and so much history around every corner. To hear only the women's stories and stop at the statues and plaques of women is just wonderful. We didn't learn any women's history when I went to school. So lovely to catch up on some stories while taking Women of London's tours.

5.00If you’re a history buff with a Demi ist bent, take this tour! Matilda was a fabulous guide - exceptionally articulate and well-prepared. I really enjoyed learning g about all the interesting, intellectual women making inroads into various male only professions. You really get an excellent feel for The New Woman emerging around 1900. I will look up this friendly, smart, woman tun tour company again when I visit London next!
Great, one of a kind tour!

5.00What a unique, interesting, and fun experience! I was introduced to important women I’d never heard of, and learned new things about some I already knew about. With a nice walk around the neighborhood. Matilda was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the topic. I would definitely do one of their other tours if I was here for longer — something to look forward to for my next visit!
Amazing tour

5.00Becky was brilliant. This is the second walking tour I have been on with Women of London, and another couple joined us on the tour who have also booked a whole series of tours with them too! If this doesn’t tell you how great they are, then what will?! Becky is knowledgeable, and tells the stories of the women and areas with incredible storytelling skills. She isn’t just reciting a script, she genuinely knows and cares. I would certainly recommend (and have been!)
Engaging and informative!

5.00Matilda was a wonderful tour guide; warm and open to questions and conversation. Her knowledge of women's history in Bloomsbury was relatable and impressive. She was so engaging, you couldn't ask for a better tour guide. Margaret

5.00I highly recommend this tour also to men! I have visited London many times, and this tour enabled me to see a familiar part of London through a different lens. Matilda is very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. She has deep knowledge of history and literature, which we were able to enjoy when asking follow-up questions. There are so many amazing women in history who don't get the acknowledgment they deserve. Truly inspiring!
Amazing History and Story Telling - Highly Highly Recommend

5.00My husband and I took this walking tour and loved it! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and a great story teller. We learned about history, architecture, entertainment, and most of all women! We've been in that neighborhood dozens of times - but were able to see it through a new lens. Highly recommend for locals and tourist alike!
This tour was a great...

5.00This tour was a great choice. Our guide was very knowledgeable, while also being most communicative. With her help, history came to life and we learned a lot. This tour combines fascinating stories, beautiful surroundings, annecdotes and humor. We had a great time!
