Ethan knows Norwich

Martin_M, Apr 2026
We set off late afternoon so it was a nice end of the day tour. Our guide Ethan was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We explored a lot of the historical sites of Norwich such as the cathedral and the castle. Ethan's knowledge of the city and it's history was impeccable. Just be aware this is a walking tour that takes around an hour and a half so if you have mobility or other health issues, please consider this.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and for name-checking Ethan!

Very interesting, and worth while. Our guide was Leo and he was very knowledgeable and informative. We were the only people in the tour abd he was quite happy to walk at a slower pace
