Reviews of the Women and Power in Westminster Walking Tour

"Manasi did an excellent job taking us through the different statues for Women in Power. It was really engaging, informative and interesting. These are not statues I would have sought out by myself. She powerfully wove a theme that joined them all up. Her facts were really solid and she made the women she talked about come to life." - Linda

"A well-paced and immaculately timed walk around monuments to women of power in Westminster, with fascinating insights into their lives and the different ways they have influenced our history. I already knew each of the monuments but learnt much at every stop and was impressed at the thoughtful approach to each with interesting and varied interpretations of power." - Jonathan
