This tour opens up new horizons, it is very diverse and varied. Many women have achieved their goals at a time when they have had to overcome many obstacles - in medicine, education, literature, the military and even through liberation from slavery. The tour opens up a new view of London - it's worth participating in!
Fascinating insights into the lives of some amazing women.

Absolutely fabulous tour with Charlotte as our guide. She was clearly very knowledgeable about all the women she discussed on the tour. It was great to hear about these women who were each instrumental in some way in affording women of today the freedom and choice that is now taken for granted. Only wish we had more time to join the other tours. Thank you. Janet and Phil

I truly enjoyed the tour and our guide Becky. She's very knowledgeable and passionate about the women we discussed. I learned about some women I had not heard of and got to see where some of the ones I was already familiar with lived. It's very refreshing to learn about the important contributions of women in history when so much of the narrative is dominated by men!
Fascinating tour

Becky 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!

This was a wonderful tour. Becky is an enthusiastic & very well-informed guide who is clearly passionate about her subject. I thought I knew Bloomsbury well but saw it from a completely different perspective with this tour. There were only 3 of us with Becky so it made it a very intimate & enjoyable experience. I 5his m it’s fair to say that we all learnt a lot!
Fantastic tour, absolutely book.

This was an incredible tour. Our tour guide Matilda told us detailed and interesting details of each part of town. I had walked through the neighborhood several times and had no idea what history and stories I was missing.

We went on the Women of Bloomsbury Walking Tour with Becky as our tour guide. The tour was well structured with stops at various locations with a story. The stories were very amazing windows on to the lives and achievements of individual women living and working in the area. Becky was very animated and knowledgeable and held our attention for the whole tour. A great experience.
Excellent (and fun!) Historical Tour
