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.
Great historical tour

5.00Just been on a trip with Little John yesterday. If you're into history (like I am) and enjoy asking questions then LJ 's your guy. A very knowledgeable person and also a great guy. He is also something of a martial- arts aficionado and during the tour gave me a mini demonstration of how a staff would have been used by Sherwood Forest dwellers 😉 Somewhat similar to the Japanese martial art Bōjutsu. Would loved to have spent more time with LJ but as the saying goes all good things come to end. Thanks LJ 👍
