“A brilliant walk around Greenwich- Jamie was a fantastic guide, we were lucky enough to be the only guests on that particular evening tour and he really made it a special experience for us (myself and my 13yr old daughter who's fascinated by the paranormal). Great relaxed manner with an excellent knowledge of history and literature, also really knew his stuff on the spooky side with some great tales of paranormal investigations. A very manageable walk on level ground and a family-friendly finish time at just after 9pm. Highly recommended!”
