Email is the way in, whether the question is about one of the 73 pay-what-you-want walking tours in this directory or about a free museum, church, park or viewpoint described elsewhere on these pages. On the tour side this site operates nothing: every walk belongs to an independent local guide, and reservations happen on GuruWalk, or on freetour.com for Rich's Essential London Free Tour with a Londoner. Anything those pages leave unclear, send a note and ask.
Corrections count for as much as questions here. Maybe a gallery has changed its free-entry day, a walk now starts at Tower Hill instead of the point printed here, or a park gate listed as open is shut for works. A brief email naming what you saw wrong is plenty, and the page gets set right for the next reader.
- Anything about a single walk before you reserve a place: the meeting point, the duration, the languages it runs in, all answered against the guide's own GuruWalk or freetour.com page.
- Gaps in coverage too: a London district, a theme or a type of free attraction these pages have not yet written about, send the suggestion in.
- A link out to GuruWalk, or to freetour.com for Rich's London walk, that lands on an error page rather than the guide's page.
- Word that a guide has shifted a meeting point or stopped running a walk altogether, so the entry here can be fixed.
- Notice a rating, review total or duration that no longer matches the guide's GuruWalk page? Send the correct figure and the entry will be amended.

Before You Write
Email sent to this address gets a reply. Where a message really helps is with the directory's own content: a duration printed wrongly, a clumsy sentence, a museum or park whose free-entry terms have changed since the page was written. Bookings are a separate track entirely. A reservation lives with GuruWalk, or with freetour.com for the walk by Rich, and changes to it can only be made through the support channels there.
The Limits Of This Site
This site runs none of the 73 free walking tours it describes. Each one is the work of an independent local guide, booked through GuruWalk, except the Essential London Free Tour with a Londoner by Rich, which sits on freetour.com. Moving a date, adding someone to a group or dropping a place has to be done on the platform holding the reservation, since an email here cannot reach a guide's booking list.
Nothing on any page here will recommend an amount to hand over. All 73 walks carry the same price, and that price is not a number: free, pay what you want. What a walker gives the guide at the end stays a matter between those two, and the platforms publish whatever guidance they publish on their own pages. Any question about paying belongs on the walk's page at GuruWalk or freetour.com.
A complaint about a walk itself has a better home than this inbox. When a guide starts late, cuts the route short or leaves doubts about the facts, the honest venue is the walk's own page on GuruWalk, or on freetour.com for Rich's walk, where a review speaks straight to the guide and to future walkers. A directory cannot step into somebody else's departure or pass a message along. Its responsibility ends at its own pages, and any detail here that has drifted from the facts gets fixed.
One boundary should be said plainly. Once a booking exists on GuruWalk or freetour.com, the walk belongs to its guide: the pace, the route and every word spoken along the way are that guide's own, and this site plays no part in any of it. What this site does answer for is its text, the meeting points it prints, the free-entry terms it lists and each walk's details as shown. If one of those stops matching reality, an email about it will be read and acted on.
