Uccelli della prigione della vecchia Londra

Dark and morbid, yet funny, educational and progressive. They do great job, highly recommend! Be prepared to walk for a couple for hours, see London at night, and learn about Victorian times.

An unusual walking tour that I could/would happily recommend to anyone. Maria is so welcoming and carries the two hours with great enthusiasm and knowledge. I would go back again tonight if it ran two nights on the trot. I have lived in London for most of my life but viewed some of the stunning landmarks we passed with a fresh eye, armed with new, dark information that will stay with me. I also want to find out even more about the four (real) female characters she introduced - a sign of a job perfectly executed (see what I did there?). No wonder she had so many returning faces, I have also signed up for more.

Best walking tour I've been on. Not just your usual tour. Maria and her team bring the stories to life with comedy and acting. The subject is dark but the tour is really engaging and fun. You feel like you're transported back to the Victorian era. Would recommend to anyone who likes doing something a bit different. This experience should be more well known than it is!

I booked this tour with my partner as a different kind of date night and may I say it was an excellent choice. Entertaining, informative and time to chat with each other while walking between the sites. You can tell she’s passionate and knowledgeable about her subject while taking some sly comic swipes at society past and present. A bargain when I think what I pay for some west end “entertainment”!

We went on the Goal Birds of Old London tour. Our guide Maria provided a fascinating account of some of London's forgotten (in)famous women of their time, together with scenes from their lives played out in front of us with the help of her assistant. The tour centres on the conditions in which the women lived as well as simply their crimes, so was a welcome change from more sensational tours which focus only on the blood and guts. Would definitely recommend these tours to anyone interested in exploring more of London and its history, but with an entertaining twist!

Fabulous tour! Entertaining, informative and occasionally heart wrenching. Maria is a born storyteller! My friends and family all had a brilliant time.

Best tour in London! Maria and her team are MASTER storytellers. This tour tells the dark side of London, and I LOVED the focus on women and their experiences in times past. The added moments of acting and comedy (dark humour!) was really fun, and we saw some beautiful views of the City and the river along the way, finishing up in a lovely old pub for a pint afterwards. Would highly recommend for a really alternative night out experience in London.
