“This tour surpassed our expectations! Our guide John was fantastic - a great storyteller and held our interest for 2+ hours. We were expecting some silly spooky stories but it ended up being a really cool way to learn about London history from a different perspective, and I appreciated that the stories were backed by historians too. I might be more than just ghost-agnostic now! The boat ride was also a fun add-on to finish the tour and continue seeing the sights.”
