5.00I had a fantastic time on Little John’s walking tour of Nottingham today. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and his obvious passion for history makes the tour engaging and easy to listen to. He explained history in clear, bite-sized pieces, and I learned lots. He is a genuinely lovely guy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a great way to see the city while learning a lot along the way. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nottingham.
Brilliant tour and so reasonably priced

5.00Fantastic tour. John is a brilliant guide and kept it fun and interesting for all different ages. There was a great mix of history and interesting information about the city that you’d never get without his local knowledge. His recommendation on other things to see/do/eat turned out to be great too 👏

5.00We were lucky enough to have Little John yo ourselves for the tour. He was very friendly and informative! Despite the inclement weather, Little John delivered a superb background knowledge of Nottingham through the ages, from the tale of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham, through to the industrial revolution and Nottingham today. A great way to see Nottingham and learn a little about the city! Highly recommended!

5.00The whole time with "Little John" was delightful. At every stop around Nottingham he had interesting facts, stories and even a weapons demonstration with his staff. The stop at the pub (that had been a church) was a highlight for our group.
