We had a wonderful and fun tour of St Albans . Our guide Kevin met us at our London hotel and accompanied us by underground and train to charming St Albans. The tour was extensive and covered all the sites we wanted to see related to Roman and medieval history. Kevin is a fountain of knowledge and made our walk so interesting , filling us with facts from Roman times to the present. We considered visiting St Albans on our own, I’m so glad we didn’t as we would not have gotten nearly as much out of the visit as we did with a top notch guide. It was definitely worth the cost of the tour.

Thanks so much for your lovely review Ron. We really appreciate it and I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Kevin. It's such a beautiful and incredible place with so many nooks and crannies. Hopefully very Christmassy for your visit too.
This was a terrific tour. We had this wonderful guide named Kevin who knew so much about Saint Albans and its history. He was so enthusiastic. He gladly would’ve continued walking and telling us more for as long as we wanted. I was enjoying the tour tremendously and only had to give up because I got tired and couldn’t keep up, even though I was probably 10 years younger than he was! He was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and took us for food when we got tired and gave us a great time. Highly recommended.

Thank-you so much for your wonderful review. I'm so glad that you had such a nice time in St Albans. There is so much to see and it's such a beautiful though yes slightly hilly place! St Albans also has plenty of nice old pubs and restaurants so I'm glad you Kevin found you something nice.
