His deep knowledge of the subject matter was evident throughout the tour, and I appreciated the way he were able to provide context and background information to help me better understand the significance of each site we visited.In addition to his expertise, I also want to commend you on his professionalism and friendly demeanor. He was always prompt, organized, and attentive, and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed throughout the tour. I particularly appreciated the way he tailored the tour to my interests and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise manner.Overall, I had a fantastic experience on the World War 2 Walking Tour, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced guide in London.
