Rarely have I been so cold, rarely have I been so wet, rarely have I been so captivated; I failed to notice the other two until Hazel had wound up the walk.
She has a style of her own and targets her content well.

The 'Nosey around Soho' tour was a great 90 minute walk through Soho and its environ, with historical facts thrown in about the recent and past history and all events that defined the area. We're led around by our trusted and warm guide, Hazel, and the pace is brisk just how I like it. With a greedy thirst for knowledge I could have absorbed a few more facts but then we would have done less walking. Only dampener (excuse the pun) was the incessant rain but it's London in January, it's to be expected.
It was great fun going with Hazel from St Paul's Cathedral to Somerset House on Boxing Day to discover the Victorian Christmas - the origin of Christmas cards, Christmas crackers and 'bah humbug'. She was so knowledgeable and we learnt a lot in a very short space of time. Everyone enjoyed the 90 minute walk.
Really enjoyed our Victorian Christmas walk with Hazel today. It is really interesting to learn about some of the things that you see everyday in London and also some of the things that you don't see as they are off the beaten track. Excellent.
Hazel is a great guide. She has heaps of information and lots to show you but it's all done at a relaxed pace. The quirky pub at the end of the walk was a bonus!
Thank you KirstieMcL for taking the time to write a review. I very much appreciate it and am so glad you enjoy my walks. Hope to see you again in 2016!
This tour, following in the footsteps of Oliver Twist, is very well planned, organized, and executed. Hazel has vast knowledge of London, its history, and all aspects of interest to those who want to learn. We especially enjoyed her articulate style, engaging tempo, and humour. Highly recommended for tourists and Londoners alike! We are repeat customers. Hazel is terrific!
Thank you Lisa for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I have enjoyed having you both on my walks and I look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
