Your positive review is incredibly valuable to us and Emilio. Thank you sincerely!
Sandro was my tour guide for the evening. Very cool and laid-off guy. Showed me around the neighborhood of SoHo and then we went to a couple of bars, he went the extra mile and bought me a couple of rounds. Extremely funny and caring. Up to date we are still chatting
Tom was wonderful. The tour was informative and entertaining. Learned some cool factoids about gay London, current and past. Tom was easy to spend time with, and was clearly sensitive to my interests. Highly recommended.
