Joe, the owner/operator of London Detours, is friendly, passionate and knowledgeable in a way that makes him the ultimate guide. He is the kind of guy that you wind up wanting to be friends with. Let's have a beer (or two!), Joe! Anyway, geez, we learned so much about the U.K., England, and London that we have become big-time Anglophiles!... More

Jo was so easy to listen to, so much information and so inspirational!!! Our family of 4 loved it!! The boys of 15 said that it was there best trip to London ever!!!! Thank you so so much! Anna More

I booked a tour for a company team bonding afternoon. Joe offered a fantastic bespoke tour for us to include some activities and games. Our office is based in East London and wondered if we could learn anything about the street art that we walk past every day. The answer is YES, this was a real eye opener. On top... More

Great tour! the guide had a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge and i learned a lot of really NEAT facts about street art in london. I have a new appreciation for street art after this tour as I had never realised how deep it is. Joe's enthusiasm made the 4.5 hour tour fly by. More

I actually went back to Tony's Gallery the following day and bought a limited edition Pez print! Joe is extremely enthusiastic and passionate about Street Art, and this tour... More

I took the Street Art Detour with Joseph last Friday. The guy is amazing! Entertaining, instructive, careful, kind and intelligent. rather than just talk, talk, talk, he prompts those taking the tour to find their ways of seeing things, he surprises us with our own reactions, he plays games and tells a bunch of funny stories of his ways around....

I went on the Streetart tour last weekend and loved every minute. The tour guide was so enthusiastic and passionate about streetart that he couldn't fail to make it interesting. It seemed as though he was enjoying the tour himself and wasn't just going through the motions. I knew very little about streetart before the tour but Joe was very... More

This tour is a must for anyone interested in art and London but specifically East London. Having been born in London and worked there for the past thirty five years I thought it was about time I actually did a tour and learnt something and this tour did not disappoint. Joseph was an excellent guide and his knowledge and enthusiasm... More

I have now done all five of the London Detours walking tours and as a Londoner who knew the City and Westminster reasonably well, I still learnt a lot. My favourite was the East End one where I ended up really elated by the varied experiences and enjoyed the introduction to street art so much that I then booked up... More
