Regent's Canal Tour Review:

Lorraine (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The guide was well organised and knowledgeable about the section of the Regent's Canal we walked. It was a part of London i was not familiar with so I found it really interesting and a very pleasant walk. We ended up in a market in Hackney which was an added bonus. Really enjoyable and well worth doing"

Marianne (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A great walk along the Canal from Angel to Broadway Market, at times coming up onto the streets along side. An interesting and informative walk. I have walked this stretch frequently but knew very little about it. A great walk along the Canal from Angel to Broadway Market, at times coming up onto the streets along side.

Elizabeth (4/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Really interesting walk along a section of the canal I'd never seen with some fascinating bits of history. The guide was very nice and caring of people on the walk...the stretch is a good few km and has steps up and down from the canal a few times, so people with mobility issues need to bear that in mind. The walk is billed as 90 minutes; our guide dud say it might take a little bit longer, but it was actually a good 2 hours. Worth noting if you have any time constraints! It is not a circular walk, so does end up quite a way away from the start point"
