A Great Time with Tom in Shoreditch
"Our family had a great time with Tom on our tour of the Shoreditch street art scene! We were able to see many different artists’ work, both known and not known, and around every corner was a new visual experience to behold. Tom not only discussed the evolving nature of street art, but taught us about the history and ever-changing culture of the area and his own personal ties to the area, which were both an added bonus we weren’t expecting when we signed up for the tour. Tom was attentive to our needs and interests as well as having a great knowledge of the area to share with us. We would highly recommend this tour and Tom as a guide to anyone interested in street art and the history/culture of Shoreditch. "
"We learned a lot from Tom about the area and how it evolved. Tom was also kind enough to share his own perspective which gave a personal aspect to the tour. He adjusted the tour to our interests. We enjoyed it and learned from it. Highly recommend this tour with Tom."
"We had a great time with Gregory. He was very knowledgeable and we throughly enjoyed our time. We wanted to be off the beaten path and see parts of London we haven’t seen before. It was a great time, would recommend to anyone who wants something a lot less touristy. "

"Cory is the person who loves and knows his city. The tour was off the common touristy see sights, and it made it special.
We saw a lot of new interesting streets, buildings, street art.
Highly recommend!"
"Tom does an absolut marvellous job. We enjoyed every single moment of the tour and especially loved talking to him and exchanging views even if the topics were not always street art relaxed. Tom's knowledge on so many aspects of the town is amazing. We can only highly recommend booking a tour with him. Thanks again."
"We went on a tour with Chris and we simply loved it! He showed us Shoreditch, Spitalfields, and also the City of London square mile. Chris is a real storyteller. He knows so much about the history of London and how to present it to his audience. You hang on his every word. He can adapt his tour easily to the needs and wishes of the group. Very flexible. We had an absolute fun time with him. Highly recommendable!"

Anthony is an amazing guide!!!!!
"Thank you Anthony for being such an amazing, funny, interesting guide.
We had a wonderful time with Anthony who took us from Shoreditch to the Tower of London. Anthony knows London and its history very well, he goes out of the crowded paths to show you less touristy but very interesting corners. He is passionate about being a great guide and making sure that everyone is having a fantastic time."
"We spent a great few hours with Chris discovering parts of London we didn't know existed. His historical knowledge was fascinating but he also tuned the tour to our interests by showing us multiple places to eat, markets and generally places of interest. He was easy company and had many interesting stories to tell. We have already discussed returning for a tour of another part of London."
