It was fantastic. Viv showed us things about the City that we never knew and presented them in an accessible way: Roman walls, mysterious and ruined churches, hidden gardens and more explained with vigor and colour. When we got to Smithfield the tour really came into its own with her blow- by- blow account of the Peasants’ Rebellion under Wat Tyler. ( I think Viv was on the side of the peasants and I was for the young king!) She really brought it alive, you could almost smell the blood. Then we visited the fascinating and , to me, completely unknown St Bartholomew’s Church which was the crowning revelation of the day. You won’t regret taking this tour.

Viv is amazing and knowledgeable guide. If you looking for more detailed tour and gain deeper knowledge of London’s history you are in the right hands.

Really enjoyed this tour. I’ve walked around the City loads of times but had no idea how much Roman history was hiding in plain sight. The guide was really knowledgeable and had a great way of telling the stories without it feeling like a history lesson. It was fascinating seeing the Roman wall and amphitheater. The walk was relaxed and the guide really friendly and engaging. I’d recommend it even if you’re just looking for something a bit different to do in London.

A fascinating two hours. Viv knitted together the City's Roman highlights with an interesting narrative - she is clearly an expert on both the Romans in London and much more.

Viv is an outstanding tour guide in Greenwich. She is incredibly knowledgeable, with a wealth of information that goes far beyond the average guide. Friendly and clearly passionate about the area, she brings Greenwich to life. Living locally, she knows the place deeply and shares insights you won’t find elsewhere.

Viv was exceptionally knowledgable and engaging. She related the history of the great fires very well and the use of digital photos added superbly to the context of the tour. Would highly recommend using her as a guide.

Fantastic tour! Vivienne was super friendly and full of great stories — a perfect mix of history, humour, and spooky tales. Would recommend!

Really enjoyable, insightful, and engaging tour. Great energy, genuine enthusiasm for the material, good detailed knowledge, and good attention to the group. (We were composing our theoretical pub quiz questions along the way. Whose what is buried where?!) Thank you. Recommended.

Fantastic guided walk with Viv around literary City of London. Very knowledgeable, & full of interesting anecdotes and history. Was a 90 minute walk but the time flew past!

A fascinating walk around the City of London. Viv’s depth of knowledge and passion for her subject really shone through. The whole experience was engaging and informative. Highly recommended!
