  Outstanding tour in terms of knowledge, friendliness, and beer. We toured many of the main historical sites as well as four classic pubs.

  A great way to spend an evening in Durham. Peter was a great tour guide. My husband and I booked this tour as we prefer a more casual approach to hearing a bit about where we are staying, and this was exactly that. Interesting stories, and facts about Durham, along with visits to four of the oldest pubs in the town. A perfect way to spend a few hours before we went to dinner. We would definitely recommend for anyone.

  Excellent tour because of likability knowledge and professionalism of guide. Guide made a particular effort to shape the tour to our party. His presentation of both history and beers was exemplary.

  Gona keep this simple and breif, it was fantastic. Out guide who is a teacher full time clearly loves his history and is very passionate about the town and the stories it has to tell. The tours are in small groups, which make it very personal, and it was interesting speaking to the other people in the group who were a lovely middle-aged couple coming back from Scotland. The pub selection was great and I revisted all the pubs we went to. A half pint of beer and a sit-down chat about the history was really nice and again made the experience very personal. Being a solo traveller, it was a nice touch to speak to other people who love their history. The tour probably lasted about 3 hours. However, this flew by and I could have spent hours chatting away. 30 quid is a steal really for three hours of history and some lovely beer to go with it. Perfect for this time of year when it's getting colder. A must when in Durham , will happily do it again when I'm back. 10/10 literally flawless

• Durham according to Peter and pints.

  What a fabulous introduction the history of Durham - and its pubs. Peter was super knowledgeable and made it really interesting-real insights into so many things we would have otherwise missed. And combining history and beer - what’s not to like. 100% recommend. Great value and definitely got more from our few days here as a result.
