Ruma (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Definitely learnt new things about Whitehall and hazel was a fantastic knowledgeable host. Would definitely go n her tours again. A lovely day"
Teresa (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Such an interesting walk and in beautiful sunshine too! It was the second walk we have been on led by Ian and yet again he was not only superbly informed, full of interesting extra anecdotes and facts but also humour which I find helps to embed the information. I am so encouraged by the amount I can remember afterwards and how it leaves me so awakened to the city I was born in and its history. I also value his insight into the effects of various historical events not just the details of them. I was impressed by Ian's awareness of the group and the pace of our walk for all in the group. He made sure that everybody could hear well at each stop which is essential in a noisy central London."
Gary (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Wonders or wondered? I had often done the latter when walking around London, today was the day all my prayers got answered. Guided by Hazel, the amount of background info given (how does she recall it all) was astounding and delivered in a joined-up manner to the history of Whitehall, much of which I was completely unaware of, and on occasions completely blind to some of the things I should have looked up at but had never done until this tour. Fantastic tour."
