My husband and I did the markets tour on Sunday, Oct. 6th. Rich was full of energy and knowledge of the markets. It’s alway nice if the guide is a native from the area. As a native Rich was able to bring stories, depth and character to each of the markets and areas that we visited which brought them to life. A couple of things to improve would be improved directions the tube stop meeting place as it was obscured by some trees (photo perhaps?) and perhaps a chance to sit and get off your feet for a bit as nearly 3 hours standing and moving at slow pace one’s legs and back get tired. That said, neither item detracted from what was a very enjoyable time seeing different kinds of markets in different neighborhoods of the city.

If you are interested in a market tour that is fun and entertaining, you can do it with Rich. The walk through the 4 Sunday markets was very authentic. Rich made it lively and entertaining with lots of stories about the history of the districts. There was also enough time for your own explorations. - Top recommendation! It was our first guided walk ever and we had a lot of fun 👍👍

The Sunday morning market tour was everything I was hoping for, Rich was a fantastic guide it seemed like he could read my mind and knew exactly what I would be interested in seeing. No umbrella required!! I got some wonderful photos of the flower market, saw a fresh Banksy amongst the street art, sampled some delicious food. Overall a great tour and very good value!

The boat trip is a pleasure, an oasis in the hustle and bustle of London, the singer, Momo, with a very beautiful voice and great songs... I would repeat without hesitation.

We loved this musical boat ride, with a very nice and very British gondolier, and very pleasant English songs along a pretty tree-lined canal.
