      While the tour by Dr Green was very well presented and interesting, the little scenes in between were incredibly poorly planned and rehearsed, to comical effect, but below expectations at this price point. We were also expecting more than one small cup of hot chocolate halfway through the freezing cold tour, as the ticket cost of £35 is definitely on the high side for a packed group like this. We still enjoyed the tour itself, but expected a lot more.

      It pains me to give A Curious Invitation such a low review as I normally like their events but this one did not deliver what it promised. There was a lot of just standing around in the freezing cold and only one singular cup of hot chocolate per person. The music mentioned in the description was nowhere to be found. While Dr Green was a good host with lots of interesting facts, I think visiting the locations in this weather didn't add much to the experience as it was waaaay too cold to be standing around watching the performances. It seemed poorly planned and not properly thought out.
