    Entertaining and informative tour about the Tube!

    Richard was a great tour guide! Funny and very knowledgeable. The title of the tour was a bit misleading for us: we expected reading "underground" not so much "Tube" but more "hidden corners" or basement-like places... but, never mind! It was worth every minute. :-)

    A wonderful way to spend 2 hours learning about the London Underground - a network we have travelled on countless times, but have rarely paused to learn about. Richard was a most interesting and engaging guide, with a real passion for London and its world...More

    Absolutely, although there is a lot of walking and travelling on tube trains involved. On our tour, there were 2 young boys aged 4 and 6, and they had a great time. The guide included them in the talk and discussed the... More

    You could wear sandals depending on the type but comfortable shoes would be better. The tour involves getting on and off the underground trains. Walking up and down steps- sometimes to the outside of the station and using... More
