    This tour was INCREDIBLE!! I went on the London All-in-One Tour with Margaret as my guide. She was SO a knowledgeable and SO prepared during the tour. I really am not fond of history, but her way of presenting it was so fun and so interesting. I was, and still am, so impressed by her extensive knowledge on (seemingly) everything about London. Beginning the tour, I was originally signed up for the Westminster Tour (the first half of the London all-in-one), but I was having such a good time, I decided to stay even longer for the complete tour. Margaret answered all of my questions and helped me leave the tour with loads of new knowledge about London and it's history. There is a lunch break scheduled to break up the tour. So, from about 12:30-2pm there is free time to eat. Following the lunch break, on my way back to the meeting point, I accidentally made a wrong turn which set me up to be late. To be sure I wouldn't miss the second half of the tour, I ran through the raining streets of London so I could make it on time (this should prove to you how great this tour is). This is an experience I very much encourage you to take advantage of. You'll leave London with such great appreciation of it's history. I strongly suggest you request Margaret as your guide, she is so kind, personable, and knowledgeable! If you're reading this, Margaret, thank you so much! You made my short 2 day trip to London very worthwhile :)

    We did two tours with them this past week: the Street Art and the Food Tour of East London. Both were outstanding, gave a great perspective in contrast with the museum art and fancy restaurants. Both women (Nelly and Jessica) were knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. The cultural insights were fascinating. Highly recommend!

    On 3rd of November, 2018 I took part at London Street Art and Graffiti Tour with Gregory. It was amazing! Gregory is a really talented guide! His manner of speaking and guiding is so artistic! We were walkings in Shoreditch and he told us such a lot of interesting and surprising stories about street artists and art. I going try more of London Street art and Graffiti Tour with Gregory. Highly recommend!

    Birmingham Street Art What a fascinating tour of Birmingham Street Art we had with Gregory. The art itself was wonderful but on top if that we learned so much about the world of graffiti and street art artists, how they work, the rules they abide by and much much more.

    I love Brick Lane, it's one of my favourite parts of London, but I had no idea it was so famous for its street art until I took part in this tour. Nelly, our guide, was great and provided us with a lot of interesting information and insights about the local street art scene keeping it interesting for the whole duration of the tour (2 hours). Highly recommended!

    My walking tour with Margaret was amazing. She’s not only knowledgeable but her energy made the tour so much fun and enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Molly L. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the City of London tour with Margaret and would highly recommend! Margaret was an excellent tour guide, sharing history in an accessible, interesting way. She went at the perfect pace, anticipated our questions and gave us time to stop and take pictures. If we had more time in London, I would have loved to do another tour, especially with Margaret.

  • 5/5 Marnie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Margaret was our tour guide in London and we could not have been happier. Margaret was full of history (as this is what she studied in university) and explained everything to us. Margaret wore a headset and carried a flag so we were always able to hear and follow her. I highly recommend taking a tour with Margaret anytime. If we had more time for sightseeing in London, we definitely would have signed up for more. Thank you free tours and Margaret for a great experience!

    Most enjoyable walking tour with Margaret, she was very knowledgeable about the history of London, royalty and landmarks. Margaret told stories in a delightful manner, including silly trivia. I would recommend her tour without any hesitation.

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great tour of Birmingham with Greg! He shared a lot of fascinating history. We would have loved the chance to attend his Street Art tour but the timing didn't work with our trip- maybe next time!

  • 5/5 R S. 10 months ago on Google
    We have been to many walking tours, but Margaret's tour was a cut above the rest. She was funny, knowledgeable and kept the momentum going. There was not one boring or tiring moment in the trip.

    We were visiting family in London and looked up free walking tours as we often do when we travel. The Brixton Culture & Street Art Tour looked the most interesting! There were 6 of us, I interpreted for my family. It was well paced, well informed, interesting and diverse. Gregory talked about the multicultural history, showed us loads of graffiti art sites, took us through the markets, into electric avenue and was able to give us recommendations. An extra added touch which was unexpected was carrying out our own graffiti art! We all really enjoyed the tour, I would 100% recommend it. Brixton is brilliant! Gregory was a great tour guide.

    Gregory opened our eyes to the fascinating history of Birmingham. It was a total pleasure throughout the tour. We would strongly recommend to everyone who comes to this city, to take advantage of the opportunity to learn about Birmingham

  • 5/5 Alba B. 7 months ago on Google
    We booked two different tours in London and had a great experience. The Ghost tour and the Street art tour were very interesting and the guides were great. I will definitely book tours with them next time I am around.

    It was perfect in every way! Sinead is a treasure and such a welcoming ambassador for London. We will be talking about the tour for years to come. We are already thinking about our next trip and booking another walking tour!

    We were visiting from NJ for the first time to London. One of the best experience we had by talking walking tour with Margaret. We could understand her ( because of her American accent) and she was fully knowledgeable and had patience to explain in detail. We strongly recommend freewalkingtours and of course Margaret. Good Luck Margaret.

    Have been to their tours in NYC, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle, Istanbul and London. I always know I can trust them to show around the city with utmost passion. The guides are insightful ride fly and truly love where they live. I never miss a chance to go on their tours whenever I'm on a vacation. I support their cause with all my heart.

    Margaret gave the best Westminster Walking Tour! She was super engaging and energetic. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area and royalty. Really appreciated the variety of knowledge.

  • 5/5 Megan T. 2 years ago on Google
    This was such an amazing way to see London! Our guide, Sinead, was funny, knowledgeable and a dynamic story teller. We traveled with our 3 teenagers and she kept them engaged all day. We did the all in one tour. Our favorite part was the morning spent in Westminster. I’d highly recommend doing this on the first day or two of your time in London because we learned the lay of the land to make the rest of our trip easier to navigate.

    ... joined the Graffiti and Street Art Tour, I totally recommend it! Gregory is a nice and well informed guide. He showed us hidden places and the stories behind the pieces. Would definitely do another tour next time:)

  • 5/5 Maya A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing , got their tours in several cities, London, new orleanse, washington etc Enjoyed it a lot , they have knowledge, willing to forward it with interest and fun

  • 5/5 Chūmbi L. 4 years ago on Google
    I so recommend this tour! Gregory is clearly someone who is an artist himself and and on the inside. I've been to his walk twice as it's a good tour to do if you have guests from elsewhere. Shoreditch is the 'it' place at the moment and so many artist use the available space. Hell, just go even if you are a local, you will learn something new, the street scene changes and there is new stuff all the time. I worked in the area for months and missed some hidden gems that I would not have known unless someone told me.

    Margaret is an excellent walking tour guide. I joined the Westminster Tour with her on 23 Oct and she’s very organised, well-prepared and knowledgeable about the history of London. The tour was extremely interesting that I would highly recommend to anyone!!

  • 5/5 Candice C. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome expérience with Margaret for the all-day tour! A 6-hour walking visit across the heart of London (Westminster and City of London) to learn more about the buildings and history surrounding us. I highly recommend this experience, Margaret is a true born storyteller :)

  • 5/5 Noam B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour company. I did both the City of London tour and the WWII tour and was really impressed by the knowledge of the guides and their funny and great explainations. If you are travelling on a budget the guides give you great tips on where to visit and eat. Defnitely reccomend to any of my friends.
