Host, Murray, was a nice guy. But the trip itself was a little drawn out. Especially the journey to the tower if London. Went all the way there on the tube then from just outside the station we were told a story. Then that was the end of the tour. Got back on the tube to go back again. A little disappointed
Tom was a great guide. Very informative and provided lots of entertaining stories with details made appropriate for small ears and grown ups alike. 😊
Our tour guide, Martin, was excellent. He told interesting and very descriptive stories at the four stops on the walk, but the tour was advertised as a two in one that included a boat trip on the river - instead we crossed the river at our additional expense on the Tube. Don’t book this if you are expecting a boat ride.
Marry was very entertaining and had great stories to share. The tour time wnt very fast.
Marius Was a good tour guide. He was friendly. Enjoyed the tour. He was a good character. Did few good jokes. It was a nice history tour. About the original towns folk of London. Enjoyed the tour and the company wh arranged the tour was very co- operation. Help me with messages and evening work well with me. Was overall delightful apart from a rocky start. really helpful the lead up to the preparation and furally enjoyed myself. Two of my party didn't arrive as they was to hot and we uncomfortable l. Leave my key ds at home just me and my friend went to the tour.
This tour is awesome. Our guide Murray from start to finish was both entertaining and engaging . His ghosts stories were interesting , spine tingling and sometimes humorous, His historical knowledge was very impressive and educational.
Marvin was excellent. Great storyteller with such detail and history. I would go again .. loved it. Nice paced walk and touring through London
Our story teller was very good. The event was advertised for 2.5 hours, but only lasted 1.5 hours. This included a tube ride from Green Park to Tower Hill. Once at Tower Hill, there was one story, and we were done. Although I think the Tower Hill story was rather good, that’s a long way to go for 1 story. Also, there is no boat ride, but you can get a voucher for a boat ride. In my opinion, this tour is not worth the money spent on it.
The tour guide never showed up. No text, no email no notification. We planned our entire day around this tour and would have planned a different activity and we known no one was coming. No phone number available to contact either. I would not risk ruining your trip by taking a chance on this booking. Unprofessional and inexcusable.
Murray was get, he knows more about haunted London than I do and I teach anthropology! There was a fascinating story about a butler and a Lord, getting murdered in a palace, I had never heard of!
