Very interesting history

Published on Dec, 2024

I've ridden the Tube for decades but never knew the story behind this feat of civil engineering until this tour. John was excellent - lots of knowledge and interesting facts. Thank you!

So THAT’S How They Did It!

Published on Oct, 2024

As a frequent visitor to London, I’ve always found the Tube quite easy to navigate but I’ve never had the opportunity to learn its history or the technology that made it possible. Amazing tour. John is a well-educated tour guide. Kept our interest and moved us along at a lively clip - very much appreciated.
