  • Interview with Simon ♥️

    David, your interview with Simon was spectacular! Loved turning the spotlight around to shine it on a guide and hearing Simon’s path to guiding. Clearly he loves being a London Walks guide and part of the family at London Walks. And that is just one of your secrets to success.
