Absolutely brilliant walking tour with so many great stories. Jess was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging with a voice loud enough that we didn't miss a single anecdote, even in the bustle of London.
I highly recommend Fun London Tours and I look forward to trying another of their tours in the not too distant future.

This was a really interesting tour with stops at some very charming little alleys. The tour took 1.5 hours which was long enough and Matt (tour guide & designer of tour) made the tour amusing and interesting. We would book another of the tours available.

Yes, the Secret London is really interesting, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the walk with me Susi. Who would have thought that there are so many hidden and forgotten alleyways and fragments of old history just around the corner from Trafalgar Square?

The 90 minutes we spent with Matt was thoroughly entertaining. We came away from the Secrets of London tour with our heads full of fascinating new facts and a little bit smug that we’d seen sights that few other tourists or locals would see. There’s always more to see or learn about London. I’ve lived in or close to London for over 20 years, yet everything I saw or heard during Matt’s guided tour was new to me. 10/10

It was a pleasure to show you the side of London which people generally don't notice even if they live or work here. Thanks for such a lovely review, and I'm so happy you found it fascinating and entertaining in equal measure!

Jess was amazing! What a great guy and guide. The tour itself was really interesting and informative, very enjoyable for anyone not just those interested in history. Lots of very interesting stops, lots of surprising facts. Very satisfying. My favourite part of the experience was Jess, his enthusiasm and character made this tour all the better.

Just what we were looking for….
As residents of Surrey we have seen the major tourist attractions & wanted something a bit different! This tour offered just that! Matt provided a fun filled, interesting tour showing us sights and telling us stories that you wouldn’t find on other tours. We very much enjoyed our walking tour & would definitely recommend. Great fun!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Rosie was very enthusiastic and explained things with much love for her city. There were about 15 of us on the tour, yet we had no problem hearing and understanding her.
This tour was a very enjoyable way to see parts of London. We otherwise would have never experienced.
This was not a strenuous tour, but there was a lot of walking at a moderate pace.

This was a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone. The tour guide (Rosie) was fun, informative and delivered at a very good pace. The tour allowed us to see and learn about little known elements that we were not aware of before hand. I will be definitely booking and doing one of their other tours in the future.

I didn't know what to expect from this tour - but it turned out to be so much fun! Matt is such a great guide, he is knowledgable and well-prepared, clearly experienced. Kept us entertained and laughing the whole time, very engaging. He brought us to places we never heard of and told us some very interesting stories! Highly recommended.

A great way to spend an afternoon. Our guide, Matt was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.
90mins finding secret gems of London, often right in front of your eyes, if you know where to look.
My wife and I loved it, and strongly recommend it.
