Kate (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Excellent walk showing me a part of London that I didn’t know with lots of interesting anecdotes. Very friendly guide and efficiently organised."
Lorraine (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We loved the walk through Pimlico discovering its Architectural history. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and approachable. She brought Pimlico and some of its former characters to life. I thought I knew Pimlico fairly well but now I know a lot more. It was a fascinating tour and fired us up to looking for more walks to do in the future with good guides (really important!)"
