Terrific tour highlighting Dickens’ London - Informative tour through Dickens’ London with a well-versed guide. A great time even if you’re not a diehard Dickens fan, but quite out-standing if you are.

Richard was fantastic! - This tour was a highlight of our London Christmas Trip this year. Richard's ability to weave the story of Dickens childhood, the history of London during that time period, and the "A Christmas Carol" story was wonderful. If you get a chance to take a tour with him, don't miss. Thank you Richard.

Magical tour in old London bringing Dickens and his beautiful story A Christmas Carol, to life. - The journey through this part of London and the life of Charles Dickens and his works was magical. Stories we only half really knew came to life. Richard captured ours and our three teenagers imagination with the youngest commenting on how passionate he was in his delivery and his obvious love for the author and the history of these amazing places. Absolutely recommend. Would do it again. Brilliant experience.

Incredible Tour - This was like taking a trip through history. Our tour guide was so knowledgable, often quoting directly from the text, and gave us so much insight into Dickens and that time period...seeing it around the holidays was a great way to get in the Christmas Spirit! Highly recommend.

A Great tour of Old London - We enjoyed the entire tour, especially Richard’s knowledge of “old” London. Loved wandering down the small side alleys, seeing Dicken’s pubs and locations where he lived and worked.
