A Gentle Stroll Back in Time

Gwenn_L, May 2024

It's always refreshing to hear an intellectual perspective on the "why" of historical facts. We have taken many walking tours and have never had it end with a spot of tea and a muffin included in the price. Very nicely done!

Very informative and entertaining tour - well worth doing

My favourite bit was the tour guide's personal researches into the individuals who'd lived in the area - so moving and special. It was a wonderful tour
