5.00Not knowing what to expect, I was very impressed with the tour; especially the enthusiasm and showmanship of the guide, Warrane! A mix of history and folklore humorously told. We’re already looking at booking another tour.
Thoroughly entertaining evening

5.00Wasn’t sure what to expect but we had a great time. Our guide was brilliant and kept us amused with his stories whilst exploring the streets of Warwick in the dark. Highly recommend.

5.00Absolutely fantastic, thoroughly recommend this tour. I went with a group of new friends, having moved to Warwick recently, and it was a brilliant ice breaker. Warrane was an excellent story teller - really engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Happy to chat and answer questions, but also happy to hang back. The walk wasn't too far and he goes at quite a slow pace - I managed just fine despite knee surgery four months ago, and there are lots of seats en route. Gi, have fun, and learn more about this beautiful (spooky) little town.
Great experience

5.00I've lived in the area for years but found the evening walk very entertaining and informative. Wandering around the town centre in the dark on a quiet evening was very atmospheric. Excellent guide. Well worth the money.
