To mark LGBT+ History Month our Pride Network at work took a team of 12 of us on this tour. Despite the intense rain, Ric did a fantastic job keeping spirits up and informing us of the prolific works of the Bloomsbury Group in the area. We learned of the expansive LGBT+ History and would recommend the tour to anyone!
A fantastic, friendly & knowledgeable guide.

I had a great time listening to Ric, who is an excellent tour guide. It was very interesting. I've learned so much about the LGBT history of Bloomsbury. It made me want to know more about it!

Ric was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, well organized and took care of everyone in the group. It was a fun two hours of strolling through Bloomsbury learning about some of the amazing queer places and people who have lived here. I'd definitely recommend Ric and his tour.

A trip around Bloomsbury with a Queer focus? What's not to love!
The tour took us through times of strife for queer people and times of triumph. There are some Grand-Dames of queer history en route: Gays the Word; Kenneth Williams; Fanny and Stella and the complicated lives of the Bloomsbury Set (how they ever got any writing done I don't know) are all included and the guide is friendly and fun.
This was a great tour and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the Queer lives Londoners once lived.

Had a great time on this tour - learned a great deal about the LGBT folks who lived in and passed through Bloomsbury. Ric is a charismatic guide who has a knack for making the tour equal parts educational and entertaining.

This is a great tour on the often overlooked lives and history of LGBT+ people in Bloomsbury. The tour lasted just under two hours and even a cold and windy day didn't affect the experience. Ric is a fantastic tour guide and is the perfect mix of informative, funny, engaging and personable. Really looking forward to booking on another of Ric's tours in future and couldn't recommend the tour enough!!

Ric gave an excellent tour. He weaved an excellent narrative of both the general history with the specific LGBT story of the area. Further, this story told an important part of the wider history of the struggle for LGBT rights and recognition in the UK
