What people have said about our Oliver Twist Tour on TripAdvisor:
"I so enjoyed this walk. When Hazel read the extract at the start, it was just words. By the end of the walk, it had become substance and it is rare to be given such insight into exactly what an author truly meant to portray. Thank you Hazel" Alison P
"Hazel was an excellent raconteur and evoked the sights, sounds and smells of Oliver's first meeting with the Artful Dodger with many entertaining stories." Cath, Melbourne, Aus
"An interesting walk in an area I know well, packed with stuff I didn't know and a thorough knowledge of the walk subject." Bill, Bermondsey
