Fab tour with Cristina We did the Mysteries and Legends tour with Cristina. Had a wonderful time. Learnt so much about a part of London we know very little about, starting at St Paul's and working our way up to Farringdon. Cristina was really knowledgeable and entertaining with a wonderful sense of humour. The time flew by. I would definitely recommend!
Mysteries and Legends, a Wonders of London tour The Mysteries and Legends tour offered by Cristina of Wonders of London was very entertaining and informative. Cristina took us around the Clerkenwell and Farringdon areas, telling stories of hangings and ghoulish hauntings, pointing out places where I will return to search for ghosts and apparitions, like The Viaduct Tavern. I highly recommend this tour
Great way to spend an afternoon The Macabre London tour was very interesting and entertaining. The Wonders of London guide new her facts and was very friendly. The group were taken to previously unexplored areas of London around St Pauls and Smithfields.
