Secret Spaces in the City Tour Reviews:
Bridget (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Another really interesting walk in the City of London, square mile.
Some surprising, lovely small gardens, steeped in history. My favourites were the Barbers Physic garden and Postman's Park. Susan is informative and she ensures that the walk is enjoyable and full of historical stories."

Anna (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I enjoyed the walk and talk very much and found some secret places I had not been to before. Friendly and informative guide, I would definitely go again."

Janet (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We were lucky that it had stopped raining and arrived to find a number of like minded people assembled near the London Wall. Although I have lived in London on and off for 50 years I have never before been to the parts in the City where the vestiges of Roman walls remain or for that matter any of the gardens and bombed out monasteries.
The presenter Sue was highly knowledgeable and provided a really a marvellous walk and talk. My husband and I will definitely book another one."
