A Christmas Carol Walk Reviews

Brenda
“Another great walk with Hazel. Always very interesting and so knowledgeable on the subjects Thank you”

Becky
“Hazel was a good tour guide and I definitely learnt new things and saw new sights in the City. I would have liked more reading from the book and follow the narrative of the book e.g. visit Scrooge’s office first, then Cornhill, chop house, Scrooge’s home, mansion house, the Exchange.”

Peter
“Hazel was an excellent guide who was a mine of information about the background to A Christmas Carol. She imparted the information at each of the stops with enthusiasm and humour. The walk was on a cold wet and windy day but 90 minutes sped by due to Hazel’s knowledge and choice of things to see. Having lived in the capital for over 40 years I discovered new areas on this tour to explore further.”

Margaret
“A wonderful experience in spite of Storm Darragh. Hazel took us down hidden alleyways and into secret corners of Scrooge’s City of London. Even in familiar spots like Leadenhall Market, she found entertaining clues to the past. Many of the group, like me, were repeat customers who know that Hazel always does her research and creates a memorable event. And humbugs!!”

Martin
“Hazel’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ tour was an enchanting journey through Dickensian London. Her magical storytelling, intertwined with an in-depth knowledge of the era, brought the timeless tale to life right before our eyes. It felt like stepping into the pages of the book. A must-do for any literature lover during the festive season!”

Graham
“Absolutely spellbinding! Hazel’s passion for Dickens shines through in her ‘A Christmas Carol’ tour. Her detailed insights into Victorian London and her vivid portrayal of the classic story made for an unforgettable evening. The magic of Christmas was truly in the air, making it a unique and deeply memorable experience.”

Marie
“Hazel’s tour was a highlight of my Christmas in London. Her profound knowledge of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and its historical context was incredibly impressive. The way she wove the story with the city’s landmarks was magical and informative. It was like stepping back in time. A perfect festive treat!”
