"I recently had the pleasure to attend a guided walk around London with a very knowledgeable and interest guide - Lee Cooper.
I had worked for many years in London but I was surprised to be shown a variety of fascinating places I had never seen before.
Together with hearing the stories of these places and people who lived there.
It was one of those days I did not want to end and it left me wanting to know more about my city and the people who had walked those streets before me.
Will definitely be booking another tour with Lee."
Christine B
"My family and I first met Lee in 2018. Since that time we have had him lead us on tours a total of 4 times around London and the surrounding areas. Lee is knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and all around an amazing tour guide. He knows all the right people, the tips and the tricks, to make your experience special for the entire party. We have toured in Spain, France, Italy, Scotland, and multiple Caribbean islands and Lee is by far our favorite. At this point he’s more of a friend than a tour guide."

"I went on Rob's James Bond tour recently and found it very entertaining. Rob is a great story-teller and it was a delightful way to spend the morning. Even better it ending in a pub (opposite the MI5 building) so it finished with a nice relaxing pint of Guiness."
Nick, Manchester UK
"Rob, thanks for leading such an epic James Bond London Walking Tour! We all had a blast reliving our favourite scenes at iconic filming locations like the MI6 headquarters and Downing Street. Your witty 007 puns and insider trivia kept us laughing and learning throughout the tour. The quiz question had us all racking our brains, and you truly made it a memorable day. I’ll certainly recommend you to my friends."

"Graham’s ‘Black History in London Walking Tour’ is first-rate, and his knowledge of the subject is exceptional.
Our experience was full of fact-based story telling, and Graham’s style of guiding is extremely engaging.
I have no hesitation in whatsoever in recommending this tour option with Graham.
