Although the tour guide...

Although the tour guide was knowledgeable, he was very theatrical which wasn't to my taste and made me question the authenticity of what he was saying. We seemed to stand around in one area for quite a long time. To be honest after 30 minutes, myself and my daughter decided to leave as we found it quite boring. Each to their own but just not for us unfortunately
Awesome

Hearing dark history of buildings you might not give a second look. Hearing about some of Warwick's colourful historic characters.

Great couple of hours. Very engaging host. Lots of good stories and history about Warwick. A fair bit of walking and standing, so not so good if you have mobility issues. Highly recommend. Maybe not suitable for young children.
Educational and informative tour of Warwick

The switch blade that had a comb instead of a blade that the tour guide took out. I thought it was very funny and I learnt lots from the tour.
