Women in the City Walk Reviews

Well presented and very enjoyable. I learnt a lot.

City walk was excellent . The tour guide was confident & informative and walked at a good pace. She communicated historical information about pioneering women with clarity and , at times, humour. It was a nice sized group. I would definitely recommend this tour and others lead by the walk lead.

What an excellent and interesting tour by Beth Couper around the city. Went to places I had never been to before and discovered the strong women of their time. Definitely will do more

Really interesting and Rebecca was a very good guide. I heard about some women I had heard of like Lady Jane Grey and Elizabeth Fry and lots more I hadn't heard of like the first female chartered accountant who took 60 years to get accreditation.

An interesting guided walk covering little know and much better known pioneering women such as Elizabeth Fry. This was the guide Bex's 1st pioneering women's tour and she provided good insights delivered with passion and knowledge.

Really enjoyed this walk with Bex in spite of the weather! An interesting mix of historical facts from all ages focused on prominent women figures who shaped the history of London. One to try!
