London Walks at its best
Secret London. Hidden London. Off the beaten track London. “I never knew this was here” London. Well, I never London.
And “the best tour guide you could want.”
MEET “THE BEST TOUR GUIDE YOU COULD WANT”
Here’s Sam talking about his gem of a new walk
Pineapples, pelicans, maidens, leopards, griffins and more…
And their significance, their meaning.
As we walk we uncover the hidden stories of the buildings and monuments. We see St Pauls, Temple Bar, Guildhall, Royal Exchange, Bank of England and Mansion House.
And we talk about the history of the city from the Romans up to today.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE GUIDING

The rain did nothing to dampen Sam’s enthusiasm for the fascinating history of the City of London. His knowledge is deep and his techniques for engaging the group first rate. For example, when he discussed the various guilds, one of our members was able to add insights from his years as a guild member. This was such a good tour, I think we were all disappointed that it came to an end -despite the weather!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour even though the weather was wet, windy & cold. Saw many interesting places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Sam was very knowledgeable and welcomed additional input from some of the others on the walk.

Sam was a brilliant guide, dispite the rain and wind he made sure we saw as much as possible and showed us loads that we wouldn’t have notice without him!

Sam was an excellent tour guide. We visited churches, buildings new and old, and all along the way he pointed out interesting things I would have never noticed. There where so many stories he told us associated with everything we saw. I highly recommend.

Walking with Sam today it is always enjoyable to take a new walk and add further knowledge to these most interesting of visits to the City of London. As well as covering the periods from Anglo Saxons, through Romans, Normans, Vikings and up to and including modern day dwellers there was much to see and learn about symbols, codes and remains from the past. Don’t forget bout parking bay 52 in a modern building for part of a Roman Wall but you need to go on the walk to find out which building!! Well done Sam, I look forward to walking with you again.

My 12-year-old daughter and I had a great time on Sam’s walk and talk today! I’ve lived in London for over 20 years, and my daughter grew up here, but we learned something new at every stop. Sam made it so engaging and interesting – perfect for tourists and locals alike. I’ll definitely be booking another one in the New Year!
