OUR NEW SERIES!
Mary, Fiona, Maxine & Noel in the London Walks office write… Every Monday & Friday we'll be sharing reviews of our London Walks written by London Walkers. Firstly, THANKS to all who have written to us down through the years, your kind words are greatly appreciated! Our guides don't solicit these reviews on our tours – we believe that this would be a waste of your time. That's what makes these reviews all the more special – they have been sent to us by genuine London Walkers who have given up their valuable time to drop us a line or two, or leave a comment on travel message boards & websites. Thanks everyone. For once, these really are reviews you can trust.

Superb Walks
I attended three walks during a recent
visit and all were excellent. The Sherlock Holmes walk was fun and informative.
Richard did a great job discussing aspects of life in London at the time and
how Holmes fit into society and literature. It's hard to have a tour of a
fictional character's life but Richard did a wonderful job. I took the Ghosts of the Old City tour with Adam on Saturday and it was my favorite experience of
my London trip. You don't have to believe in ghosts to enjoy the stories and
tales of hauntings and their origins. Adam brought all of the stories to life
and engaged all of the audience.
My final walk was the Jack the Ripper walk with Donald Rumbelow - what an experience! To hear stories of the Ripper from
the world's leading expert was a treat. Donald made sure to give us details of
not just Jack, but of life in London. Despite a large crowd in the walk, he
made sure all of us had our questions answered and curiosity satiated. I was a
little surprised to see that someone brought two children under ten on this
walk, as I wouldn't recommend this for children, given the details given of the
murders. Donald also stayed a bit afterwards for questions, comments, and more
details. Wonderful!
