Greenwich Fan Making Craft Tour, led by the founder of 'Fan The Glory With Tori': Victoria Ajoku. This amazing tour and workshop fan activity is definitely a 'one of a kind' experience that I have not seen done before. Such a unique, fun, memorable and overall 'well put together' time we had. Victoria is absolutely a delight, vibrant, friendly and fascinating, as she is both an knowledgeable, experienced tour guide, as well as a professional award-winning fan making tutor. All sites we visited were marvelous, an incredible blend of history, art and insight into the stories behind the architectural making processes of the murals and sculptures that we saw. I couldn't believe that so many creative spaces and artworks exist within Greenwich Peninsula, which I didn't know about before. I really liked how the fan class worked as a refreshing and liberating way of designing our creative inspirations on a canvas that we could keep as a souvenir of the day we had. The fan session got me using my hands again. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the tasty lunch in which we had a variety of eating vendors to choose from. I will surely re-visit the Greenwich Peninsula area again with more friends (well done Victoria, for shining a new light towards this part of Greenwich). I highly recommend everyone around the world to do so too, by booking via 'Greenwich Royal Tours'.

Greenwich Fan Making Craft Tour by Victoria Ajoku: founder of 'Fan The Glory With Tori'. This unique experience led by the Tour Guide and Fan Making Teacher: Victoria Ajoku was absolutely excellent! Victoria is so passionate and fun! Within the day, you start with a lovely walk around the Greenwich Peninsula & Design District, with Victoria who reveals fascinating information about the history of the area, including the public contemporary murals/artworks that appear along the way. During the walking tour, Victoria encouraged us feel inspired by the public sculptures we saw on each stop, and to think of the Peninsula area as 'our canvas to create on' (we learnt that in many ways, this was how the architects who had built on the Peninsula, have also related this space to their craftwork/s). After a splendid lunch (included on the tour), from food vendors we got to choose from, we then made our way to a craft making venue to get creative via a 'hands on' workshop. I valued hearing about the history of fans and discovering how the collaboration of Greenwich Royal Tours and Victoria is a major and positive movement, ensuring the practice of fan making progress forward, as the art of fan making is a critically endangered craft in the UK. I throughly enjoyed designing my own hand-fan as a bespoke, inspirational souvenir of the area and tour experience as a whole. I appreciated and admired how the fan making workshop is for all levels and abilities. So many colourful memories, I greatly recommend this tour.

Mark was very engaging and, as a history buff, told us much more than we expected. It was a very private tour with 6 people which went beyond the normal tour guiding. His tips for hotspots in Greenwich were great. We will definitely come back and do the pubtour with Mark - iconic! Thx!
Geraldine
It was a lovely tour with Mark. He showed us around the Royal Observatory, the Queen's House, the beautiful gardens among other points of interests along the way. A highlight was spotting the family of deers and wild squirrels. Thank you Mark for taking us on the tour and giving us some helpful tips on what else to see and where to eat. My daughter and I had a great afternoon, and will definitely recommend this tour with Mark
Katherine
We had the best intimate tour with Susannah today! She gave us some great information about some hidden gems of Greenwich as well as making sure we hit the highlights. I highly recommend this tour!

We took the Law in London tour . The tour was very informative and went beyond just a law tour. Our guide, Mike, threw in a lot of London history. The private tour was worth the time and money . Thank you Mike for a great day. Don and Nancy Wietmarschen
