A Christmas Carol Tour Reviews

“We went on this 1.5 hour walk as part of our work department Christmas outing. Hazel was a fun and engaging tour guide, and took us around several places linked to Dickens (all within the City of London). Although I lived in East London for three years, most of the locations were completely new to me and the facts were fascinating. The link in to Christmas made this a perfect tour for this time of year. Would highly recommend as a team/group activity! Dress warmly though if it’s in the winter. Thanks Hazel!”

“A very enjoyable guided walk. Hazel is clearly passionate about history and made our walk around the area in which Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is set, come alive. The mint humbug was an enjoyable touch!”
