Amazing tour of Bloomsbury

“I just had the most incredible morning with a group of girlfriends and Jack from Bespoke Britain giving us a tour. We all live in London and wanted to deepen our knowledge of our neighborhood while spending time together. Jack was thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. He catered to our specific requests with the tour ending at a lovely restaurant where he had made reservations for us. It was a thought provoking, enriching and fun morning. Truly, could not recommend it enough.”

I had the pleasure of taking this tour with a group of friends on brisk but bright February morning. Jack is an incredible, pleasant, knowledge filled tour guide that was incredibly engaging. He brought the areas deep and rich history to life by bringing together the historical facts peppered in with rich contextual anecdotes over periods of history. Thank you SO much Jack. I cannot wait to book a next tour with you.

Had the pleasure of going on the Bloomsbusy tour this morning with a group of friends. Jack was INCREDIBLE. A relaxed and natural guide, our time together just flew by. Jack designed the tour around our interest in the arts and even booked us a lunch in a fabulous pub where the Bloomsbury Set would often meet. Jack has a gift for story telling and is a wealth of information. He was happy to answer any questions and had fascinating stories and cool things to point out at every turn. We couldn’t have hoped for a better morning. Thank You Jack -I cannot recommend Bespoke Britain highly enough! x
