My favorite way to be a tourist in a strange city is just to walk around and take in the strange sights and sounds and see what happens. But as I was following the delightful Rachel around on our tour today it became apparent to me how much I’m missing! All the cool little side streets, and the backstories, and the backstories to the backstories. Seeing the Inns of Court today, and the house of Samuel Johnson himself (and his cat Hodge) turned out to be the fulfillment of bucket list items I didn’t even know I had. Thank you so much!

Our guide, Rachel, was the key to our five star recommendation. The 90 minute tour was very informative and delivered with a lightness of touch that made it easy to digest. Lots of subjects are covered so there is something for everyone and plenty of secrets are unlocked at various places around Temple & Fleet Street. The pace was good, the walking easy and the distance covered was just right. I cannot recommend this tour and our guide enough.
