Becky made this tour unforgettable with her personal attention and extensive knowledge of the area’s rich and complex history. Lunch and conversation felt like time with an old friend. She also helped me find a fantastic book on Black British history and the cutest fabric from a local market shop. It was a meaningful and thoughtful experience I would recommend to anyone!
