Booked this last night as my introduction to the city my son has come to study in. Booking was simple, received a confirmation email with clear instructions of where to meet. It transpired that due to a “no show” I was the only tourist on the tour today! Annette was amazing. Her knowledge and enthusiasm shone through and I learnt some of the history of this amazing city. Would definitely recommend! Thank you

Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable, skilfully adapting her narrative to our group. I have done the tour before, my friends had not, but I still learned more this time than last time. We had a very interesting morning in the Nottingham sunshine. Thank you very much

We had an early Tuesday morning tour with Sam as our host. We've been wondering around in Notingham already for a few days and during this tour we've all new locations. With the highlight being the St Mary’s Church Nottingham which is certainly a hidden gem in the city. Sam had great stories and we learned a lot.
