We met Peter for the ~2 hour 'Strand' tour, and we weren't disappointed. His knowledge of the quirks of the city, including its history, architecture and art were matched by his exceedingly useful and practical tips about surviving urban London. He seemed to know everything about each building, street and alley. Some highlights were: The bar at the Savoy Hotel,... More

I booked Pete to take me and a group of friends on this tour for my birthday. I had been intrigued by the title when I first heard it and had wanted to do the walk for a long time and this seemed a good opportunity to get a group of friends together and to find out what and where... More

Peter Berthoud is a fantastic guide: a convivial host, ridiculously erudite, and the most ardent of London's lovers. I joined the "7 noses of Soho" walk and urge Londoners to go on a walk with Pete - his tours will let you see your home with renewed joy. Questions and contributions are welcomed, and he can help you make a... More

I've wasted many hours looking for these noses and felt sure they had been removed or were on now demolished buildings but I joined Peter's Seven Noses of Soho walk on Saturday 5 May and now know where they are all are and a lot more besides. He's incredibly knowledgeable and highly entertaining. You couldn't want for a better Guide... More

I attended a walking tour in the centre of London with Peter on Christmas Day when there were no cars or busses on the road. I consider myself well-versed in London's rich and (in)glorious history and was overwhelmingly impressed with the amount of new knowledge I cam away with at the end of the tour. Pete researched each of us... More

Thank you very much, it is so kind of you to have taken the time to write this lovely review. I appreciate it very much. The weather may not have been great but in Soho there are always places to hide from the rain! Thank you very much too for your “walking encyclopedia” compliment. Since we took this walk together...

It was our first time to London and we were spending Christmas there without any friends or family. We decided to do Peter's 6am Christmas Day walking tour and am so glad we did. Peter was both a knowledgeable and insightful tour guide, full of anecdotes and stories, but also a complete gentleman. He took the time out prior to... More

Thank you so much Elizabeth for your very kind review and for uploading these great photos. I felt really honoured that you two chose to spend Christmas morning on this 6am tour especially as it was on your first full day in London. Not many visitors would have done this, hats off to two truly adventurous travellers! I am so... More

I went on the 'Seven Noses of Soho' London walking tour. The tour was not expensive, lasted for around 2 hours, and Peter was an excellent guide - very informative and enthusiastic. Even though I've lived in London for 30 years, I thoroughly enjoyed an insight into some of the city's hidden secrets. More

Pete is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He goes the extra mile to get to know the people on his tours before doing them so that he can customize them to their interests and/or backgrounds. Highly recommended! More

Joe, Thank you very much. Your kind review is much appreciated. I do try and customize each tour as much as possible; this makes each tour a little different and a lot of fun for me. I also learn or notice something new every time I do a tour. Soho especially seems to change on a daily basis! Hope to... More

I went on a couple of Peter Berthoud's guided walks last summer during a short stay in London - I don't live in the UK - and I enjoyed them immensely. Mr Berthoud is very knowledgeable and he's a good communicator. More

Thank you very much for your kind review, it really is much appreciated. Your own extensive knowledge of London was quite incredible for someone who isn’t based here. You know London far better than most Londoners! It was a real pleasure and privilege to show you something new and different in the city. I look forward to seeing you again... More
