"We have been on three Elan Walks and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Helen has a knack of choosing really interesting themes and delivering them in an informative way, with many little known facts. She is a very friendly and welcoming tour guide.”

"I have met up with Helen on 2 of her walks now, Chocolate Unwrapped and the Tipple Tour, she runs these walks with a humorous, entertaining and friendly approach. There is a challenging mini quiz for you to rattle your grey matter on the Tipple Tour. Highly recommended for good exercise and a great afternoon's fun.”

"A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon discovering 4 Royal Parks in central London. Helen is an interesting and knowledgeable guide with genuine enthusiasm and warmth. Book an Elan Walk with Helen and discover different aspects of London!”

Lesley Hinchcliffe.

"Year-round I have been addicted to Elan Walks; I witnessed the delights of Spring on the Royal Parks walk, enjoyed 'Doin' the Lambeth Walk' and learning about Women of Stature in the Summer, Autumn was a great time for Gothic Architecture and I had a wonderful time on the Christmas and Gaslight tours this Winter.

Helen is an exceptional guide and I can't recommend Elan Walks highly enough.
