Customer Reviews
Richard with the Red Hat
We were scheduled to be in London right now. We had booked our flights & flat last July. Sadly, those plans changed because of COVID. I was delighted to find “London Walks” podcasts knowing that listening to them would be almost like being there. In my experience, the folks at London Walks are the Gold Standard of walks & these podcasts do not disappoint. I’ve been to London many times so I can see myself strolling along with these wonderful guides. It’s almost as good as being there, especially these 3 weeks when we would have been there in person.
I want to give a special shout out to “Richard with the Red Hat” who is leading us on our walk today. One of the very best memories of all my trips to England is the Cotswolds Walk that Richard led. We walked through idyllic meadows along bridle paths, imagining ourselves a part of bygone days. We learned so much about the architecture of those old buildings & homes that survive to this day. I’ve promised myself another stroll through the Cotswolds with “Richard with the Red Hat” on my next journey to England.
