Recent reviews of the tour:

"This was definitely a wonderfully informative, fun and stimulating London walk. We not only covered the distance from New Scotland Yard to Downing St we also traveled through centuries and continents. I have no idea how our guide knew so much, sharing so much information without hesitation. The success of these events usually depends on the expertise and personality of the guide and he had both in abundance. Do take this walk if you get a chance. I should add our group consisted of families, couples, tourists, friends and would appeal to everyone."

"Very relaxed and well explained with humor. Gained a lot of knowledge and really entertaining, didn't wanted to end. The best walking tour I have ever done. It's a must do as it's one of the best things you would do in London. It's better then the London Eye or Madam Tussauds, or the London dungeon. Absolutely loved it!"

"We really enjoyed this entertaining and informative tour lead by Cliff. Terrific value for money and highly recommended"
