5.00This was an extremely interesting and informative tour focussing on famous, sometimes infamous and progressive women who lived in the Mayfair area in bygone days. I will see Mayfair in a new light now! Mandy has a very impressive knowledge and conducts the tour in a friendly and humorous way. Janet McCunn
