“The Sustainable 2012 Tour was just amazing. The venues already look really cool and the in-depth knowledge about the green features of the Games was really interesting. I can’t wait to see everything when it’s done.”
– Lydia Laessig, MA tourism student, Berlin, Germany
“I enjoyed the tour very much. It was very different from other tours I've been on in London and our group was so small and the guide was so enthusiastic and fresh that I felt a bit sorry for the other groups going around with their huge amount of participants."
– Mary Haynes, teacher from London
