Tom made this day a true adventure! Through back streets to historic places, every turn of every corner revealed something unique and special about this city. I felt more like a traveler than a tourist. Thank you.

Not sure where to begin.....Tom was absolutely outstanding!!!! He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and so much fun!!!! My husband and I love to walk and explore cities and Tom blew away our expectations!!!! By the end of the day, we felt like we now have a friend in London!! He shared such fun stories, unique insights and took us places we would have never known about. One of the best, thorough and fun tours we have ever been on!!! I cannot recommend Tom enough!!!

Our guide, Tom's, knowledge of the social history of London was encylopedic and delivered with great style. A natural raconteur, he was engaging company and we left him having had a fun tour of Camden Lock. Highly recommended.
