Durham: Myths and Legends

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I did the tour of Durham: Myths and Legends. Despite horrendous rainy weather we both loved the tour. Our guide Fran, was knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.

One of my best tour experiences

Published on Nov, 2023

I did two tours, one of Hadrian's Wall, and one specially created for me, which followed the life story of a 19th century serial killer (for a book I'm working on). I kept congratulating myself on being smart enough to pick this tour company. The trips werebeautifully researched, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. The guide, Anna Unger, was thoughtful, smart and just good company. Beautiful country, terrific guide, great experience start to finish.

Walking tour of Durham

Published on Mar, 2023

My wife and I had a wonderful tour around the sights of Durham with Anna today. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting things for us to do during the remainder of our weekend stay.

Great Tour of Durham

Published on Mar, 2023

Excellent Tour of Durham including the Cathedral with our guide Anna. It was a wet and windy afternoon but that did not distract from a really interesting tour around Durham. Even for some of us who had been to Durham several times we learned a lot and discovered new areas we never knew about.... Great afternoon out.

Brilliant historical tour of Durham

Published on Sep, 2022

We were in Durham as part of a historical tour to do with Lindisfarne, St Cuthbert, St Bede and the Lindisfarne Gospels. Our guide, Amanda, was a serious expert in all our areas of interest and really brought Durham and the Cathedral alive for us. We highly recommend using Amanda.
