Great tour. I can imagine it would be even better round holidays. Lots of good information about the history squeezed in with all the dickens info you ever wanted to know. Kids (9 & 11) years old are inspired to dive into their first Charles Dickens novel when we get home.

My husband was NOT looking forward to my choice of the Christmas Carol Tour in London, thinking it would be stodgy and boring. Boy was he wrong and he (and I) absolutely loved it! Richard, our tour guide, made this tour festive, humorous, and full of facts we never knew about Dickens, London, the historical times, and more, while showing us places old Scrooge may have worked and lived. Very fun tour - highly recommend Richard!

I’m sorry I don’t remember our guides name but he had a green jacket and grey bag and an umbrella. The tour took us through the most beautiful parts of London and our guide made The Christmas Carol come to life. It was amazing.

Richard was a great guide and I learned about the great City of London Dickens sites, with an emphasis on “ A Christmas Carol” for the Holidays! This is an excellent Experience with plenty of walking. We visited a few Pubs as well, all part of the Dickens education. Cheers Richard, from Los Angeles!

We thought it would be interesting to learn more about Charles Dickens and see some of the locations from A Christmas Carol during our recent trip to London and this tour did not disappoint! Richard is an incredible guide and is so well versed in Dickens and London. I enjoyed hearing his stories not only about Dickens but also why he believed that the locations he was showing us were the actual locations that Dickens referenced in A Christmas Carol. Being on this tour really made me feel like I was experiencing the book - it was an incredible experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough!!

Richard took us from modern London to old London in an exciting journey recounting not just the story of A Christmas Carol but many of the characters throughout Dickens’ works and many of the real figures that inspired them. It enhanced our appreciation of the city and its rich history. We would highly recommend not just this tour, but Richard in general for any tours that he’s leading.

As we set out, we laughingly warned Richard, our guide, we were true Dickens’s nerds…and boy did he not disappoint! Not only did we see actual locations that inspired Dicken’s writing, but we learned a lot about the man himself. Richard, a natural storyteller, made this one of the highlights of our trip!
