Wry informative. Easy to follow at your own pace

A fab way to taste the diverse flavours of Durham. Left very full !!! Met a great group of people and loved being shown the site and hear about the history with our lovely guide Sharon. Would def recommend

Absolutely brilliant and our guide Sharon was amazing. Definitely go hungry the food keeps coming. No better way to spend an afternoon in Durham!

Interesting tour, great guide & excellent value. Highly recommend.

A great afternoon out with friends. Peter, our guide, met us on time at the place we were told. He was very personable and knew his stuff. Some nice pubs and interesting tales, as well as some good beer recommendations. All in all a great way to spend some time being entertained and seeing parts of Durham we may not have visited.

Tom was èxcellent, very well suited to being a guide. Accomplished story teller!

Ken is a great tour guide. Durham is a classic North East England experience. The English countryside is beautiful!

The app was easy to use. The photos helped you get to the right place. It was good that you could go at your own speed, stop for a brew etc. The audio was very clear. Thank-you

I’m from Co Durham originally and was visiting the area with friends from the Midlands. Ken was an excellent guide. He gave us a lot of information about the history of the city and its surrounding towns and villages. It was useful to hear about Lord Londonderry’s influencer in the area as a trip to Seaham was on our itinerary. I would certainly recommend his tours.

My friend and I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Peter was very personable and knowledgeable, even adapting the tour to our interests. Highly recommended for anyone passing by Durham!

Great experience and history lesson. We really enjoyed it.

We were collected from York on sat 11 July - great day lots of stops guide was knowledgable and informative with lots of historical detail, drove with care offering lots of info

Amazing tour guide & tour which takes you back to 1066 and all that history from then on through to now ! Easy 90 minutes tour in historic buildings and very witty at times , a must if you’re in Durham . Also lots of local tips on food/ drink etc . Thank you Peter for a great tour , Gary & Pat .

We initially looked for a physical guide, but couldn’t find one to suit our availability, so went for the audio guide as second choice. What a great revelation. The App used GPS to trigger comments for the local and very well informed guide. This meant you could move at your own pace, stop for a look at a shop or even take a coffee mid-way through the tour. Devon, who voices the guide was informative, humourous and a local, which added to the experience. First time we’ve tried an audio walking guide and would seriously consider using one again. It was inexpensive and highly recommended for anyone wanting to hear about Whitby from an enthusiastic resident.

Anna was superlative as a guide, historian, story-teller, and true host to this gorgeous city. She met us at our hotel (and had some wonderful history to impart about that as well) and guided us throughout the city's vennels, squares, river walk, cathedral, and college with knowledge, humour, and sincerity. We could have spent the entire day wtih her- her timings so we had enough time to enjoy and soak in areas was spot on. Durham is an exquisite city- with its rich history it should be on everyone's wish list!

Me and my partner had a tour with Peter today and he was absolutely brilliant. Was only us two on the tour but the show went on and he smashed it! Really nice and genuine guy and knows his history and we learnt a lot from him! Highly recommend a tour with him and hope he does well in the future too!
