Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

The walk tells the story of Chaplin's young life growing up in poverty and how he got out and made it to Hollywood though talent, hard work, determination and luck.

The walk is fully guided and tells the story as we go round. I even dress up as him on the walk!

His life is a classic rags to riches story, that will leave you amazed!
