We did the East End streetart tour with our guide Wesley on our fourth day in London and it was an amazing experience. Wesley showed us some real gems ranging from famous Banksy stuff to hidden dragon figures on poles. Every piece was backed by interesting facts and background stories about the artists, streetart in general and the history of the East End. I highly recommend this tour!

We have taken a lot of guided museum tours over the past two weeks in Europe, but by far, our best guided museum tour was today at the British Museum by Matilda. She was great and made our visit very enjoyable! Passionate, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand. Her voice projects very well and was easy to hear. Matilda exudes her love of history, and this love is obvious in her presentations throughout the museum. She really has a way of bringing history alive and making it relatable to the present too. My wife and I highly recommend this tour, especially with Matilda.

Luis was very animated, knowledgeable, and interesting. He captured the history and the imagination of the displays and objects. He handled an alarm so gracefully. He insured our safety by communicating and positioning us near the exit.
