A Nosey Around Soho Walk Reviews

Rebecca

Fantastic Trip. Learnt so many new facts about Soho.

Eloise

Very pleasant walking tour of Soho with a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Was amazed by the things that I had never previously noticed, most noticeably the random nose sculpture on a wall. Would highly recommend.

Susan

A thoroughly professional, entertaining and well paced ‘nosey’ around Soho with the very personable Phil. His extensive knowledge and love of the area brought Soho to life and revealed many hidden gems! Highly recommend.

Victoria

What a lovely walk. Phil, our guide was personable and knowledgeable. So interesting finding out about the history of so many places we take for granted. He was very good at making sure our group didn’t get in the way of other people when we stopped and was able to answer lots of questions. Thoroughly enjoyable”

Hazel

This was a pleasant stroll around Soho with a lot of stops where we heard all about the history, of which there is a lot! Fascinating to hear how it used to be all fields and hunting grounds in Middlesex, hard to imagine looking at it today. Philip was entertaining and explained everything well, I was particularly interested in the cholera memorial. Overall a nice afternoon outing.

Miriam

Phil is a lovely guide with fountains of information on Soho and far beyond.

Nora

A very pleasant stroll around the streets of Soho, only slightly marred by the impact of changing the start venue whilst we waited for the “missing” to find us. Stephen our guide shared loads of information about the many colourful characters that lived in Soho, including Casanova and Marx. Overall, an entertaining and informative walk and I certainly now have a goal in mind. Great wealth, if only I can find the other 6 noses!

A great walk with Steve around Soho finding little cut throughs that I never knew were there. He was friendly and informative and I really enjoyed it.

This was my second walk with Hazel and it was just as good as the first! Hazel is such an enthusiastic tour guide, full of good stories and anecdotes and she is so engaging with her audience. Even though the streets of Soho were very busy, she managed to keep us all together and I learnt a lot of fun facts about the area which I would not have known about before. I will definitely be back for more tours with this lovely tour guide!
