Great tour of Nottingham!!! - Our local guide Jen was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She did her best to point out all the areas of interest this lovely small city has to offer. St Mary's Church in the Lace Market was particularly interesting and beautiful inside. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, and would book another tour when travelling.
