Super great tour - Thank you Adam
Adam, thank you for the fun and very interesting tour. Perfectly paced. Fun. And involved everyone. I am retired niw but am finding a renaissance to revisit some high school and university required readings from the past. You have inspired me. Thank you!!!

The best for English literature nerds and fans!
Really nice, different and special tour. Leo made sure that everyone followed him and was into the tour and stories. Totally recommended: Just a small "but", which I always find uncomfortable in free tours: the fact that guides mention a "minimum" fee might make the audience feel uncomfortable, especially those coming from different cultures and budgets. Even if they say it's up to the client, it creates awkwardness as you somehow feel bad if you don't give them that amount or you were planning a bit less if travelling on a budget. But then again this applies to all free tours lately, I guess it's a thing!

Shakespeare and Dickens in SE London
Great knowledgeable tour by a literature expert unpacking local history as may have been experienced by literary giants Dickens and Shakespeare . Evenly paced , picturesque , few sit down spots on the way , this tour will especially appeal to literary geeks who like to see context of author's lives and how they may have been inspired from their environment . Thanks Adam !
