Private and Corporate Tours
"We came across Herstorical Tours whilst searching for a quirky and fun daytime experience for our history-obsessed friend's hen do. From our first correspondence, Maria was responsive, helpful and accommodating to our needs, group size and timings for the day.
On the day itself, Maria (with support from her co-star, Polly) took us on a hilarious and informative tour around Covent Garden. The tour itself strikes just the right note between the grim realities of the sex trade and light-hearted humour and optimism - no easy feat.
If you are looking for something a little different for a birthday or hen do, I'd definitely recommend a private tour by Herstorical Tours. Everyone walked away saying how much they'd enjoyed it, we got to explore a great part of London and it was incredibly reasonable in terms of price per person."
"Herstorical Tours are wonderful to work with. Maria is amazing giving the tour, really sets the scene and gets the group into a witchy and curious mindset. I asked for the tour to be adapted to include some lgbtq+ witch history and she was able to bring that in and tailor the tour to my event - lovely, 5 stars!"
"I booked a private tour for my office’s Christmas do in 2022. I simply filled in the contact page and Maria was really quick and efficient in getting back to me. With flexible dates and times this worked perfect for us.
My colleagues and I loved the tour. The energy, acting and story telling by Maria and co made for a joyful and silly new way to appreciate and learn about London. Full of surprises!"

"Our team had been on the lookout for an engaging activity that would foster camaraderie while being educational and fun. We were especially keen on something that could fit into our afternoon schedule. Luckily, Maria, our tour guide, proved to be incredibly flexible and arranged a private tour that suited our team's needs perfectly.
Maria's 'Herstorical Tour' exceeded our expectations. We opted for the 'Hex and the City' walk, and it turned out to be a captivating journey that provided a fresh perspective on the historical treatment of women. The tour not only enlightened us but also added depth to our ongoing discussions on diversity and inclusion within our team.
What made Herstorical Tours exceptional was not only the content but also Maria's passion and knowledge. She made history come alive with her storytelling and made sure everyone was engaged throughout the tour. Our team, consisting of various backgrounds and experiences, came away with a deeper understanding of the challenges women faced in the past and how this knowledge is relevant today.
We wholeheartedly recommend a Herstorical Tour to anyone seeking an unforgettable team-building experience. It's an activity that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression and give your team plenty to talk about for a long time to come."

"Hex & the City, what fun. Maria was so entertaining and informative, bringing alive London’s history of witchcraft through the many forgotten women she portrayed. Maria’s storytelling captivated the group, we felt the injustice and prejudice each woman faced. The group were left ‘spellbound’!
I highly recommend the tour. You do not want to miss the experience!"

"I don't even know where to begin with this because Five Stars doesn't do Herstorical Tours enough justice!...I decided to contact Maria and ask her to plan a surprise private bespoke engagement tour so I could propose to my partner and she did not disappoint! Despite not being one of Maria's typical offerings, she went above and beyond to ensure our day was as special as it could be. I could tell that Maria became really invested in ensuring all went well. She was a pleasure to work with and instilled a high level of trust and confidence in her ability. She was both personable but professional. Her business is truly unique and one of the many joys of visiting London. "
" Maria and Herstorical Tours arranged a private tour for a tough audience including a tween girl, who was worried about a “cheesy” tour but instead LOVED the experience and called it “deliciously macabre.” Maria made it so easy to set up and arrange the tour and even customized the time to fit our schedule and the content to make it adult enough and funny enough to engage a tough crowd! The tour was fun, interactive and included a female empowerment angle that my daughter loved. Maria was also patient and helpful with payment arrangements and getting everything set up from another time zone. I would highly recommend the Witches and Ghosts tour, and Herstorical Tours in general to anyone who wants to arrange a private tour for a special event.

We booked a private tour as part of a work offsite day and we all had a brilliant time with Maria and Herstorical Tours. A most excellent experience blending great history research insights brought to life by Maria through her characters and comedic dialogues. Living and working in London often means completely overlooking the history of the city so to peer through the time portal created by Maria and imagine the scenes and misdemeanours of the day was a real treat - perhaps not too much has changed after all! Book a tour with Herstorical Tours and make some memories for life.
