Fabulous afternoon!
What a fabulous afternoon! Informative and fun. I took Lianne’s family friendly tour with my three kids aged 7, 9 and 11, all of whom were engaged from start to finish and had a wonderful time exploring the hidden history of the City of London. Lianne set a friendly pace, kept them engaged with thrilling facts and a bit of competition in the form of a fun quiz. 5 stars! Would highly recommend.

A Delightful Walking Tour
I recently had the pleasure of joining a walking tour around London led by Lianne, and it was an experience to remember! This tour was not just your typical sightseeing trip; it was a journey full of surprises, interesting stories, and unique perspectives that captivated everyone, regardless of age. From the moment we started, our guide Lianne's enthusiasm and knowledge was evident.
A particular highlight for me was the amount of hidden gems we got to discover – I thought I’d seen all the main parts of London! Without Lianne, you would walk right past the building or area and have no idea there was something significant inside (or underneath!)
What made this tour special was its inclusivity. Lianne ensured that everyone, from the young children to us adults, were engaged and entertained. There were interactive elements, such as quizzes and challenges, that kept the younger participants excited (and us!), while the depth of information provided kept the adults intrigued.
Overall, this walking tour was a perfect blend of education, entertainment, and exploration. It offered a fresh perspective on London, making it a must-do for both tourists and locals alike. If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to experience the city, this tour is definitely the way to go!
