Carolyn (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very enjoyable and informative walk. It amazes me how the guides remember all the dates and information."

Deborah (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Really interesting walk round some prominent and some less well known sights connected with the Suffragist and Suffragette movements. I walked round streets I’d never been down despite living in London for over 40 years and learned more about the movement for votes for women. Interesting and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended."

Carol (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I so enjoyed this walk, Kirstie was such an interesting and knowledgeable guide. I used to work in the Westminster area and found I had walked past spots so many times without knowing their story. Good to see women’s history in the spotlight"
