Excellent tour! - The tour was very interesting, walking us through the streets and history of Nottingham city center. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend doing this tour at the start of your stay in the city since the guide might suggest places to eat or drink in addition to the cultural and historical side of things!

Superb - Our guide Sam is a local woman and her pride in her city shone through. She was at the appointed location in good time. There were only three on this tour so it was very relaxed with plenty of time to ask questions about the gorgeous Victorian architecture in the city centre. We explored the Lace Market area going through quiet areas right in the middle of a bustling city. We finished exploring the medieval side of things finishing with some legendary do-gooder bloke good with a bow. Brilliant and well worth the money.
