I already had a vague idea of some of the important Art Deco buildings in Central London, but Ike's tour led us to so many hidden gems, and some not so hidden but which could easily be passed by without someone with his expertise and enthusiasm pointing them out. It was a cold and rainy day but the walk was... More

Would like to say how much we enjoyed the brilliant Olympic walk, led by Ike; he knew so much and was so enthusiastic about a place that I knew very little about. After nearly 3 hours, we felt we 'd learnt a huge amount and will definitely be doing more of his tours. The difficulty will be which one to... More

I loved this walk and hope to do many more in the city with Ike. Ike has an amazing depth of knowledge, and his orientation to architecture - ie. with a focus on urban and community design, public spaces, class etc. makes his tour particularly engaging. More

We did the Olympic tour and really enjoyed it. Though we couldn't actually get into the park, we saw all the major venues and got a fascinating insight into the architectural as well as social background to the project. Ike is highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and the 3 hours flew by. Loved it! More

Ike's boundless enthusiasm for architecture and City history, and the clear and friendly way he imparted his considerable knowledge, meant that despite freezing winds and being on our feet for nearly 3 hours we didn't stop paying attention for a second. We really enjoyed visiting nooks and crannies in the City - which we were completely unaware of despite visiting... More

If you have the pleasure of being in London over the Holidays, make this a must see during your stay. This is a rare opportunity to hear the excellent historical and commercial beginnings and modern manifestations of lighting the city during the Holiday. Ike is a master of this subject, and holds a real fondness for the city that comes... More

Ike (the owner) arranged a walk through Belgravia and Chelsea for our party of 6 at short notice. Our ages ranged from 27 to 60 and we all had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Ike was unfailingly enthusiastic and obviously knew his subject. He explained things clearly, in the right amount of detail and with a sense of... More

I went on the London at Christmas Architecture Walk. The guide, Ike, was well prepared and friendly and made the journey interesting and exciting. I was most impressed by the historical facts connected to the commercial side of London at Christmas. This walk is a must not only for tourists, but also for locals that want to find a little...

We spent over 2 hours with our guide who was very knowledgable about his subject. We learnt a lot, he captivated his audience and made the walk very interesting. The booking wasn't quite as easy as it says on the front page, we had to choose an upcoming walk that was scheduled. Would definately book another walk and recommend to... More
