IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE GUIDING
Don’t just take it from us…
N.B. Guide Ian donates his fee to charities! You know where your money is going because Ian announces the beneficiary charity at the start of his walks.

A 5* rated live, outdoor, 3-D, shoe-leather-on-pavement London Walk.
Our route: the Tower of London (Traitors’ Gate) to the Mansion House.
Our dramatis personae: 20 centuries of them. They range from Boudicca (Boadacea) who put London to the torch 2000 years ago (the first Great Fire of London) to the Extinction Rebellion demonstrators who recently (2019) “torched” the Chancellor’s Mansion House speech.
Enroute: we meet three Tudor Queens beheaded in the Tower, Irish bombers, theArchbishop of Canterbury lynched by Revolting Peasants, the slave trader who switched sides, the Scottish nobleman who laughed his head off (literally laughed it off).
In sum: that’s just a sprinkling of said encounters. Two hours on we’ll have met any number of extraordinary characters whose lives and deaths are etched on, above and beneath the streets and alleys of London.
And as long as we’re at it, here’s a visual of our meeting point just outside the exit of Tower Hill Tube.

David was an excellent guide, two hours went by very fast even though the weather was miserable. Even kids in the group listened attentively and never complained about being cold and wet.

Lesley –
Just to say my friend and I attended the Revolting London walk yesterday – meeting outside Tower Hill station at 10.45 and what a lovely informative tour we had. The tour guide, Ulrike, was brilliant. I will certainly be attending other tours.
Frances –
Took a fascinating and amusing walk around the revolting streets of the City with Ulrike today, visiting hidden spots that I would never have found alone.
Ulrike was a fount of information on interesting places, stories and events from Roman times to the present. I never knew that London was such a revolting city- and I live here.
Would definitely look out for Ulrike if I wanted another London walk.
Anita –
Great walk with a very well informed and interesting guide. We were also very lucky as it was a very small group, and even though we were all Londoners, we found out so much we didn’t already know about the city we live in. I would happily do any other tours with David.
