From start to finish our hosts (guides) were professional and informative. If you want to see behind the scenes then this is the tour for you. Yes its dirty, heck its the underground, but if you don't touch or lean on things then you will be super fine. You are told the history behind start of the underground network and all the companies involved and also about Lesley Lee who designed the buildings that people used to enter/ exist the underground, you will find yourself spotting them around London afterwards. Shout out to Richard who was the lead on the tour and there isnt much he doesnt know about. I even asked him why we didnt see any rats down in the underground and he explained that was why there are strict policies in place that stop any food being taken or consumed whilst in these tunnels.

Description
Join our expert guides to explore the disused areas of Euston tube station, and uncover the secrets of this transport hub. Two expert tour guides will tell you the history of the station, how it developed and the plans for its future. We'll tell you about how the station came to be from a series of independent schemes when the underground was a series of competing private companies. . The tour starts at Euston Square station before heading to Euston itself and there's a lot of walking on the tour, including stairs, so you should have a good level of physical fitness, but if you like stepping behind nondescript doors into a hidden world, this tour is for you.

A Glimpse of our History
A fantastic tour. The guides are absolutely brilliant and you get to go behind those locked brown doors of the underground where history unfolds and the tunnels have been frozen in time.

Great, interesting, recommended
The guides were great (Sun 25th Jan), just the right amount of info without battering you with dates and figures. Friendly and knew the subject. Plenty of time for photos without feeling rushed. Our group was about 20 people so not crowded, & you could get close enough to hear what they were saying. If you use the Underground and are at all interested in how the system has developed, I think you'll enjoy this.

Wonderful hidden history tour
Brilliant tour of hidden areas of Euston underground station. The highlight for me were the posters from 1962 - absolutely amazing time-capsule. The tour guides were excellent - humorous and informative. Can’t wait to do the other similar tours now.
