The Women of Westminster Tour was fantastic, Becky was a brilliant guide and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour absolutely flew by thanks to how engaging and well-delivered it was. We learned so much and were genuinely so glad we did it. Highly recommend!
History and storytelling at its finest! Becky was an excellent tour guide who really made learning about the women of Westminster exciting!
This is an absolutely amazing tour. I cannot recommend highly enough. The guide was really knowledgable, friendly and responsive to the needs of the group.
We did this tour with Becky on 23rd December and we had the best time! We had a family trip to London for Christmas with the main event being Oliver! at the Gielgud Theatre (which was great) and then wanted something else for a few hours the following day. Turns out that this tour was the main event! Our two daughters aged 14 and 11 loved it as did myself and my partner. Becky was so knowledgeable and natural and the time flew. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour highlighting both more famous and lesser known women in British history. Very knowledgeable and personable guide. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend.
I have now joined Becky for 5 of her 6 walks and this one was as brilliant as all the rest of the walks. Each one is different but what they have in common is an approach centred on telling stories, for this walk famous women and enabling us to learn about them. Becky is a great guide, knowledgeable and passionate and always inviting questions. It’s a good walking pace too. Highly recommend any of these walks.
We booked this tour because of our interest in history and the often overlooked roles that women have played. The tour was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The commentary was wide ranging and informative with relevant insights at every stop. The pace of the tour was just right as it covered a lot of spots of interest without it feeling rushed.
We had a great time with Becky on this tour! She was super fun and knowledgeable and we learnt so much. It was an amazing experience!
Fabulous tour with Charlotte who knew a lot about history and women and delivered it in a fun and absorbing way. I spent a wonderful two and a bit hours hearing amazing stories and seeing some of the iconic sites of Westminster. I learnt a lot and would thoroughly recommend,
Great guide! So much information! Our guide was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. It was a long distance to walk but the stories made the time fly by!
