Our guide Becky was excellent.....because it was extremely hot, she was mindful to keep us in the shade when possible. She was very knowledgeable of the area and it's history. Would definitely recommend the tour.
We enjoyed our walking tour through Soho and learned an enormous amount from Sheldon. He presented a compelling history of how Soho was founded and has changed across time, including the individuals that influenced activism and culture for women and the LGBTQ+ community throughout history. The Soho tour gave us an appreciation for a borough of London that would be easy to walk through without appreciating its fuller history. The tour length was perfect.
Very good tour. Sheldon was very knowledgeable about the history and current status of Soho. It is such a vibrant area of London.
Really enjoyed Wesley our tour guide & our wonderful Soho tour. This was our first introduction to London & found it both intriguing & informative!
