Christmas Corporate Events: A Christmas Carol Private Tour

"A Christmas Carol walk - great time"

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!

Hazel was a fantastic tour guide - she was extremely knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm! She clearly loves London and we all learnt a lot!

'Don't miss this. Superb.' Steve
