Our tour guide, Stephen was nice and had interesting stories to tell us. It was great to see so many areas of London that we wouldn't have seen on our own.

Our guide was a self-described Sherlock Holmes nerd, and both his knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious. Our 16-yr old granddaughter was with us she's kind of a BBC SH nerd herself, and she was blown away by the level of detail shown. Jim and Betty Higgins Louisville KY USA
