Very informative tour....
Nicola_R, Jan 2026
Very informative tour. Caroline was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, sharing both fascinating historical context and insight into what’s up-and-coming. You could really tell she knew the place inside out, which made the experience worthwhile.
Thanks for a great tour

From first meeting Caroline to our departure at the end of our guided walk Caroline was welcoming, friendly and considerate. Despite the very cold weather Caroline provided a warm, informative and insightful commentary whilst providing intimate details of the locality and many points of social and historical interest. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and took up Caroline's recommendation on tea and scones at The Chester Grosvenor's brasserie as well as purchasing a cigar from Turmeaus cigar and whisky specialist shop. A highly recommended and value for money experience. Keith and Sue (Nottingham)
