A most enjoyable and entertaining guided walk through Stamford - An excellent insight into the history of Stamford through periods of prosperity and decline up to the present day. Our enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide introduced us to some of the most important buildings and explained the key phases of development. A really good way to get to know the town we’ve lived in for 40+ years, and to walk off some of the excess calories consumed over Christmas

Entertaining Stamford walk - Nicola met us on the steps of the Stamford Town Hall dressed in Pink, with a big smile and a joke which imediadely put us at ease. We had a very personal tour as only us two were booked on. Nicola was certain to ask what we were particularly interested in and had an open friendly way about her. She was clearly spoken and had good knowledge of the history of the towns buildings and took us to some lovely places we wouldnt have seen on our own ie The Alms houses. We enjoyed our tour very much. Thanks Nicola
