Customer Comments
"All of the walks are informative, entertaining and a great way to learn about, and see, things in London, that aren't necessarily the top 10 tourist sites. Hazel holds a wealth of information and delivers it in a manner that keeps the group engaged."
“Hazel provided an informative and fun commentary(and well microphoned up) on a cold and windy night. Took us to some places that,although a lifelong Londoner, I had not been to before. I would recommend her walks."
