“Super: grand mère et deux petits fils de 7 et 9 ans, les 3 ont adoré. Edward est sympathique, drôle et très attentif. Grand merci à lui pour sa patience et sa gentillesse. Un super plan pour découvrir Londres. Notre anglais est approximatif mais grâce à Edward nous avons tout compris, vu et appris beaucoup de chose. À très bientôt avec mes autres petits fils ou pour une autre aventure. Merci à tout le gang de Tally Ho
