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.
We had a really good time...

We had a really good time on the walk. Visited some interesting sites and heard great stories. The guide we had was very good and kept it entertaining and informative. Definitely worth the fee and we would go on other tours on the strength of it. A big thank you to our guide.
