Although I am a Londoner, I learnt so much on this tour that I had never known about. Our guide was so knowledgeable & made the tour so much fun!

This is the kind of experience you’d never get on your own. I love that Arthur seems so excited about the tour himself. I had an amazing time, we had time to interact and he was very nice regarding any questions I’d ask. One of my favorite parts about my trip to London. Arthur has a unique talent for story telling too. Thanks!!! :)

If I could give this 10 stars, I would have. This experience felt like catching up with a good friend while also learning about the dark history of London and how it related to the rest of the world. Our guide answered each question we threw at him with the expertise that comes from his masters degree in history. I would recommend this to anyone... honestly I may go on it again just for fun.
