"The Great Exhibition walking tour must be the closest thing we have to time travel.” Inga Vesper, journalist
"Hugely evocative - you can imagine the crowds, displays, and excitement. Both fascinating and moving. Highly recommended!" Elizabeth Norton, writer & royal historian
"A magical tour...brilliantly written. it weaves you into its story and you are spellbound, watching the decline, fall and execution of the King - and you can’t do anything to stop it." Kate Williams, CNN royal historian
