History and architecture
Carolyn_U, May 2024
I enjoyed all the history Angela shared with us – the construction, the politics, the WWII experience – as well as the photos she shared. Brought it all to life for me!
Response from Host, May 2024
Dear Carolyn_U, It sounds like Angela provided you with a fascinating and immersive tour experience, bringing history to life with her extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling. Learning about the construction, politics, and WWII experiences associated with the sites you visited must have provided a deeper understanding and appreciation of their significance. Sharing photos can indeed enhance the experience, providing visual context and allowing you to better imagine the historical events and landmarks being discussed. I'm glad to hear that Angela's insights and visuals enriched your tour experience. If you ever have more adventures planned or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to reach out. We're here to help make your future travels just as enjoyable and enriching! Best wishes, Evan Evans Team
Our guide, Peter, was...

Our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. He shared lots of historical anecdotes. Worth the visit!

Honestly don’t go
Shani_G, Dec 2023
Would not recommend. This was clearly set up to look like a Hidden London tour behind the scenes at the tube stations but it was not. The material was interesting but not new to me. I felt like it wasted my time and money especially since we took several train stops which you the guest pay for. The guide was good, which is a shame because the tour premise fell short.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

Good tour but low value for the money
RoseAnn_M, May 2023
We learned quite a bit about the history of the Underground but, did the price, it was the lowest value for the money of all the tours we took on this trip. It would have been nice if the day pass of an appropriate amount had been included or even just a specification of how much we needed for the travel included on the tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
Hello RoseAnn_M, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback about your tour. Seeing that you had a 5-Star experience is the best thing we could hope for! Your review means a lot to us. We cannot wait to welcome you onboard another one of our tours in the future. Best wishes Evan Evans
