In the Age of Poetry, Portraits & Political Enlightenment - 1701 to 1931
Our new walking tour is full of drama, intrigue, murder and kings and queens in endless extra martial affairs. We have stories galore including an Anarchist who almost ruined a royal wedding by throwing a bomb at their carriage, a Jesuit who was asked to write a `Fairy Tooth’ story for a little prince, and a humble soldier who gave his life for both king and regiment. We have refreshments at some of the city’s most fashionable central taverns.
