Proper interactive tour! - The small group size lead us to participate more, which made it more interactive and tailored. Lots of interesting information, but really appreciated the host hanging around afterwards and just chatting. Not just a passive encounter, as close as you can get to a genuine tour guide. Highly recommend.

Great fun for a night during lockdown - Nat was excellent and very enterprising doing what must be quite a difficult job over zoom. But she kept us all really engaged and entertained, and had a great sense of humour.

Not recommended - Person talked too quickly just gabbling and far too little to do. The Scrooge experience was great but this was very poor. We stopped after about 15 minutes.
