                                                         Dear Sir/Madam,
                                                         I am writing with regard to your advertisement published in the
                                                         magazine ‘City Tours’. I am planning to visit London from 17 to 24 May,
                                                         and I am interested in at least one of the walks that you organise around
                                                         the city. I would appreciate some further information about these
                                                         walking tours.
                                                         To begin with, in your advertisement you mention that there are tours
                                                         seven days a week. I would like to know if these tours are different every
                                                         day. If they are, I would be grateful if you could inform me about the
                                                         tours you have organised for the dates I mentioned above. Furthermore,
                                                         I would be interested in knowing what ‘private walks’ are.

                LONDON ON FOOT                           Finally, I would like to ask how much each walk costs and what
                                                         special offers you have, as these details were not mentioned in your
