I came away knowing a lot more about Hampstead. Daniel was an interesting engaging guide and 90 minutes flew by. A great way to learn more about parts of London.

I live in Muswell Hill and thought I would like to do this walk with my husband. The tour guide Daniel Hausherr was nothing short of brilliant. Such an amazing story teller and very knowledgeable happy to take questions and very relaxed. I would highly recommend doing this walk with Daniel even if you think you know Hampstead well. We loved it.
