Wonderful Tour - What a fantastic tour! A hidden gem! We booked this last minute since we were in the area and it was an absolutely riveting experience! I had never heard of Stamford before I found this tour randomly on tripadvisor but I'm happy that I found it and know so much more about the area. Our tour guide was fantastic! We'd recommend it!

A very informative guide - We thought this walk was going to last around an hour or so but it was 1.75 hours in the end. Our guide was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.

Brilliant tour. - We booked this walking tour to learn more about Stamford and the hidden gems as a visitor that you never get to know. It was just 3 of us today on the tour and what can I say, Nicola held our attention from start to finish. She has an excellent knowledge of the town, she made it very interesting and her personality is great. Highly recommended.

Stamford - a great town with interesting history - Nicola was great. We got a complete potted history of Stamford with some interesting anecdotes. We learnt the origin of some familiar phrases. Also, didn’t realise the UK conservation act started in Stamford.

An exceptional tour of Oakham with a fabulous guide - A really unique experience fantastically delivered by Steven. He showed us such different and fascinating historical artefacts . Oakham is full of history , amazing tales , architecture , beautiful blooms . Ranging from a 5 legged stocks in the butter market to alms houses , a statue of Queen Elizabeth with her corgis and unique thatched cottages . Steven was highly knowledgeable, great sense of humour and very personable ! Definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ tour guide

Nice to find out more about the 'Birthplace' of saving the UK's historic buildings - Absolutely loved the tour. Our guide, Nicola, was spot on, plenty of historical, local anecdotes and background to keep you interested and to alter your view of Stamford. 'Always look up' will be a stand out one to take away. It was really nice to get the background to a lot of the buildings and it was fascinating to hear that Stamford was the leader in establishing organisations saving a lot of our historically important buildings throughout Britain. We were also lucky with the weather as well which made it a great morning out. Recommended!
