Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just a fantastic tour from Joanne on the Inns of Court, Parliament and the Supreme Court, tailored to our needs from the outset and adapted on the day for my A Level Politics students to have the opportunity to visit Parliament. Encyclopaedic knowledge of the law, history and politics too! Careful, considered and understood what makes a tour for the audience.
All my students thought it was great experience and throughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Had a great tour of the City of London, with some real hidden gems and interesting history.
Can not recommend this tour guide enough.
Hope you have as much fun with her as we did

I am really pleased you enjoyed your tour. Your reactions to some of the places we explored, especially St Bartholomew the Great and the Roman amphitheatre, made the job a real pleasure for me too. The City has so much to offer and it was great to be able to show you places you didn't know. Thanks for your comments. Joanne

Our tour guide Joanne was so knowledgeable and accommodating. With a single visit to the Southwark court, my students and I not only learned how the British criminal court system operated and the types of cases often tried, we discovered how Brits became lawyers, barristers, judges and the like. My students found it so rewarding, they wanted to go to law school in London!!! Highly recommended! Go to the Old Bailey and take a photo of Lady justice. But hire Joanne to give you this walking tour if you want to understand the British criminal court system.

Thanks for your great review Tammy. I am glad your group were able to see some trials at such interesting stages. It is always great to engage with such an interested group with questions which brought out the contrasts in our systems from statute of limitations to jury selection and right to silence. Look forward to working with your group again next year.

Joanne has been our guide for the second year in a row past November. We organise a "legal London trip" for 24 of our law students and we have three activities with Joanne: the Westminster tour (which is very interesting), the visit to the Crown Court and a very fun quiz in the Inns of Courts. Our students love Joanne! She knows everything there is to know about "legal London", and she can answer every question our students have for her. Her experience as a legal professional is a serious plus! She is so sweet and she can show you places a normal tourist never goes! Every one of our students mentioned her in their feedback reports and they even called her the best guide they ever had!

Once again it was a great pleasure to work with your students and I am so pleased the students expressed their appreciation in their feedback, as well as several doing so to me in person. So much had happened here politically since your students last visited with the "Brexit" decision, and so the Westminster tour is ever changing! The quiz is always a fun way to round off the session. Thanks and see you again later this year.

Thanks Joanne for a great tour of all the key sites of legal London, from its beginning bang up to date with Brexit wrangling! Thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating and full of extra insider insights.

Joanne is an exceptional tour guide; informative, fun and entertaining - I learned so much about the fascinating history of London and Joanne’s extensive knowledge meant that none of my questions were left unanswered. Our entire group enjoyed the tour together and had a wonderful time - I would thoroughly recommend Joanne. Lorna

We thoroughly enjoyed the tours of Legal London and the Criminal Justice System with Joanne. She could offer great insights because of her experience in the system. She was able to sustain everyone's interest even when she explained seemingly dry bits of the legal system. At all times, Joanne took great care of us and ensured that we were all safe throughout the tour. This was especially so when we had to walk between locations and cross major roads.
Joanne is the guide of choice for anyone going to London - highly recommended!

I took a group of 15 students, aged between 14-16 on the Discovering Legal London Tour. Joanne was interesting and informative in her talks about the different Inns of Court, and history of the legal system in England and Wales. The students had a really great time and were fascinated to discover some of the more grim and gory aspects of the law in the past!
I will definitely recommend her to colleagues, other schools and visiting friends and family. I also plan to attend one of her other tours in the near future.

What a wonderful group of students! So many great questions and comments. When it came to wigs and gowns the hands were all up with everyone wanting to contribute to the discussion! It was a real pleasure to introduce the group to "Legal London" and it was wonderful to know they were all still talking about it at school the next day. I am very glad you found us. As you know we provide tours on all sorts of subjects as well as the law, and can tailor make tours to your chosen subjects. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Our group was at the other end of the age range, being all Senior Citizens(U3A) and as such Joanne had to ensure she could stop in places where there were a few seats and if possible, in the shade. It was one of the hottest days of this summer. Wonderful, but perhaps a little too hot for comfort. Joanne was brilliant, always looking after us. She began the tour in what had been the Olympic Village. Amazing and great to see how it has matured into a lovely residential area. As we progressed around the park, it was good to see how much it was being used by the general public and sportsmen alike. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and appreciated Joanne's extensive knowledge. I'm hoping to take another group next year.

As I write this belated response to your review on a chilly autumn evening it seems amazing to think of that very hot day we explored the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park together, weather not unlike the glorious heat and sun for the wonderful Paralympics of 2012! I enjoyed showing your group the incredible legacy of London 2012 and glad they were able to enjoy it despite the heat. I look forward to working with you again soon.
