In depth walk around Nottingham. At our own pace with a knowledgeable guide. From the caves to the castle, the journey through time was enjoyable with interesting points of history explained by Stephen. So many things you would just walk past without knowing it!

Stephen was without a doubt, the most incredible and knowledgeable guide I have ever had the the experience of being with. His depth of knowledge of the history behind the places we visited is more than I have ever experienced. He manages to do provide this incredible level of information yet is comfortable to talk with and comes across as just a regular person with that is comfortable to talk with. I cannot give a higher recommendation than I would give for Stephen.

Stephen our guide is very knowledgeable and personable. He showed us areas of Nottingham that we would not have found on our own. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture and had interesting trivia he would share to keep everyone engaged. I definitely recommend this tour!
