Although I expected a tour along (creepy) historical places, the guide was extremely funny, knowlegable and entertaining!! Even so, after 2+ hrs of standing on chilly streets listening to (rather long) talks, I did long for the end...

Great fun for an evening! Mary was our tour guide and she was animated and really brought history to life. Not for those offended by a few words. Grata way to preview some of the spots in London.

Mary was fantastic, a very engaging and fun tour guide. The whole family loved Mary and Harold/Mark. The tour content simply wasn't what we expected, should be a 16+ rating. We searched TripAdvisor for "family ghost walks" in London and this tour came up, but this is not a ghost walk. IMO it's not for families, either. Not many actual historic sites visited, but a fun walk if you don't mind the language.
