Excellent Durham City Tour led by very well informed, enthusiastic and friendly guide Ken. He took into account places we’d already explored and adjusted the walk accordingly. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative couple of hours.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much, it was lovely to meet you both.

Spent a great two hours with Ken. There were just two of us on the tour. He is warm and friendly and knowledgeable. Nice easy tour of beautiful Durham. Not a strenuous walking tour as Durham is not big, suitable for most people. Great tour guide. Thanks for making it fun Ken!

Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks so much, it was wonderful to show you my home city and Im glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I need to bring an additional big umbrella next time!
HELEN_M, Sep 2023
Ken was very informative with so much knowledge but put it across in a very informal way so not too high brow. We saw some lovely views of the city that you would not find on your own and his knowledge of the cathedral when inside just brought it to life for you.
Great tour fully recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
