Testimonials


"Just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful walking tour of London yesterday. The group enjoyed it very much and thought you did a great job storytelling and blending of new and old history of London. We will definitely come back for more next time we do a management retreat in London."

"A Stimulating Afternoon Out: Marc's tour of London's Square Mile was a real treat. We saw many interesting and beautiful sites, and learned so much about London's history - including Wren churches, the Great Fire, the Blitz - and some impressive modern buildings too. Marc was friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable and engaging throughout, as well as careful with the safety of his guests in the London crowds and traffic. We would heartily recommend Marc and have already booked a second tour with him."

"We have benefited from having Marc Gardiner as the official tour guide for our Brighton & Hove Jewish history tours. His extensive knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and friendly demeanour have made the tours all the more memorable. Marc effortlessly navigates through historic details and fascinating anecdotes, and ensures that everyone feels engaged and included on every tour. A remarkable guide - highly recommended!"

"Loved the tour. Even though I've lived in London for 35 years, Marc showed and told us new, fascinating vignettes of days present and gone by. A well planned, well delivered tour by a knowledgeable guide who, in a personal twist, showed us how his family's history is intertwined with the East End."

"Fascinating afternoon with Marc as our tour guide. We learnt a lot about the City from Roman times to the present day, and also much about the area near Spitalfields where various immigrant communities have settled over the centuries."
