Delicious choices of food with great stories about the history and each of the locations we ate at. We visited about 9-10 food locations in total and it was great value because we could choose what we wanted to eat based on our own preferences and budgets.

Richard was very informative and easy to hear. We wouldn’t have understood the meaning of this and for sure wouldn’t have been in best viewing locations. Richard also suggested a pub for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the entire tour, at the end when he gave us the theory he believes in, it was really interesting!

Tim is excellent Tour guide. One of the best visits in London.

great day out, Chris the guide was most knowledgeable
