A thoroughly enjoyable and informative trip with our beautiful home Town of Warwick!

Published on Oct, 2024

A very informative tour around our home town with Ed giving us some great history of his Character Robert Dudley and the then owner of the Castle. He also managed to explain quite complicated historical events surrounding the Lancaster and York houses (The war of the Roses).

Excellent and fascinating tour

We took our grandchildren aged 8 and 10 on this tour. Although we live locally, we really enjoyed the tour and discovered something new about the city. The grandchildren enjoyed building on their knowledge from school history lessons and Ed was excellent at engaging them. Would recommend

Our guide was dressed as lord Robert Dudley and he played the part to perfection. He was very funny and informative, explaining historical facts in an easy to understand manner. I would highly recommend this tour.
