Guided Tours In London


When we went to London a few weeks ago, we some interesting things like sights and Museums and I think all of us had a great time. Some of my personal highlights were for example the guided tours we had in the City: "The Jack the Ripper" tour and the "Globe theatre" tour.        
 The first day's evening we met our guide close to the Tower of London where he told us that we would see two murder sites and we all were Kind of exited because we didn't know what to expect. Our guide, who by the way had a funny accent because he pronounced the letter "R" in a very strong way, We heard something about the prostitutes church which got it's name because of the prostitutes Walking around it, about the social problems of that time and of the "grrruesome" murders of Jack the Ripper.
Altogether it was an interesting journey through an important part of London's history.
The second tour we had was a tour through the Globe theatre during which our guide showed us the theatre and gave us Information like when it was built and how watching the plays was in those former times.
Our guide tried to make the tour informative and the most interesting thing I can remember was that in Shakespeare's time people could throw vegetables on the actors.




Altogether the tours were worth the money and I would also recommend it to others if they want to do something special in London and not just Sightseeing.
