Excellent venue for all ages. Going back to yesteryear, learning how our ancestors carried out their daily lives. Ride a Tram , the visit to the Dentist was eye watering ! A treat in the bakers , a quarter of sweets … first time in decades for us. The manor house was amazing , and a bonus a Tavern next door! So much to see and do , it could take a couple of days . We were time limited so missed a lot , mostly because the rain never stopped all day sadly. We would return .

What a charming and delightful city! Our daughter decided in the University of Lincoln for college and I was in awe of the history, diversity and genuine kindness of the people we encountered.

This was a wonderful tour. The stories of London’s experience with the bubonic plague are fascinating, and it was wonderful to be able to walk around the city and see some of the places where it all happened. It was very interesting, and touching, to see the sites of actual plague pits – now parks and squares – but which were once witness to some of the most desperate and bleak periods of London’s past. Seeing the area where Samuel Pepys lived was also fascinating. Stephen is a fantastic guide and really brings the history to life! He is brimming over with lots of stories and information about London over the centuries. Don’t miss this great tour!

I loved this tour and highly recommend it! It was so atmospheric to wander in the neighbourhoods where so many people perished, to see the plague pits where they were buried, to walk in the same streets that Samuel Pepys walked, stand where his house stood and visit the church where he worshipped regularly. This walk really brings home the devastating impact of the Plague, not just on the population, but on the city itself. Stephen Liddell is a fantastic tour guide. In addition to being relaxed and fun to walk around with, he is a veritable gold mine of information on the history of London, and really brought to life a very dark and frightening period in the city's history. Stephen is a very engaging, knowledgeable and experienced guide, and his tour is a unique way to experience London's past. Don't miss it!

A really great tour! Perfectly paced and flexible enough to accommodate our group spotting little places they wanted to look at including a bakery and the market. Stephen is an interesting and engaging guide, hugely knowledgeable and full of quirky little facts and anecdotes which really make a place come alive. I’ve been to Stamford many times but this tour covered places I had no idea existed and explained the history and significance of more familiar areas. A fascinating and very enjoyable morning.

Incredible. Kevin was truly spectacular. We enjoyed spending most of the day walking, visiting and learning many great things about the city! I would highly encourage this amazing tour. We will be back and we will book the other various tours.

This past August, I had the pleasure of visiting London with a group of nine friends, and went on an exceptional walking tour led by Stephen. His captivating presence and remarkable ability to engage each of us with a wealth of knowledge—from history and architecture to fascinating insights into James Bond and Harry Potter—made the experience unforgettable. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. I look forward to doing it again on my next visit to London—if only we could have Stephen accompany us everywhere! I cannot recommend this experience highly enough—10/10!

Fabulous tour! A must-do if you have a free afternoon in London and are interested in some unique tid-bits and great storytelling! Stephen was an incredible guide who immediately fit in our group and felt like a friend; plus he always had a lively story to share with us over a pint! Would highly recommend this tour (or any of the Ye Olde England themed tours) and will be doing it again on my next trip to London!

Stephen and the tour were incredible!! One of my favorite things in our whole London visit was this tour! Stephen, our tour guide, was very warm, personable, knowledgeable, lively, and entertaining - would have spent all day following him around and listening to his fun facts about even the most inconspicuous buildings and landmarks; he made everything remarkable! The tour was engaging and very personalizable - we did some standard walking tour mixed with 2 pub stops and I thought it was the perfect mix of educational and super fun 🤩 Any themed tour by Ye Olde England Tours is certified to be good - don't miss out!

Stephen was easily one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! He was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to know everything about everything in London while also keeping it fun for our group. His tour was the highlight of our trip in London!

Great atmosphere with a variety of street food outlets. Very friendly feeling all around. Holiday feeling about it. Market based so large variety of goods available. It's a must vist!

Knowing a bit about Roman London we were curious to learn about Verulamium and the connections with London. We learnt a lot from Lin who was very knowledgeable, friendly and coped well with our lively group! We had the added bonus of a glorious warm day.

Well! After years of planning a visit as it's a 3 or so hour drive from Leicester. to much to see in 1 day (we came sunday and Monday from 10 am until 4 pm). Return free for the year, so now we have no choice but to return! staying at the premier inn in Washington was perfect! We found that Monday was much easier to get into the sweet shop/bakers, etc. Worth the money beyond words, the mine was brilliant, just us 3 and the guide, and he was great with our son who is naturally very quiet. Trams, etc, are easier to get on weekdays and from the more remote areas. Get to the chippy for about half 11 or go to the one in the pit village as the ques are smaller and you won't be disappointed, limited benches but on a nice day, pop your bum on the grass! plenty of places to perch. 10yo loved explaining what was happening in the viewing area at the sweetshop (you tube fan, lol). Staff were lovely, great to see them so in character! Fish and chips, sausage roll, chocolate cake, cherry cake, and were all delicious! When you consider the cost of today's fish and chips, it's actually quite cheap, haha. Love that you can get up to date cider (being regulars at the Black Country means we are used to time period drinks that aren't carbonated). We saw everything in 2 days but feel we need 3rd just for a general wander! If we lived close by, this would be our go-to place for sure! gutted, we have to go home! Beamish! thank you! I haven't laughed, smiled, and relaxed like that in a while!

What an amazing cathedral. The history is fascinating. Loved the carved pillars. What was also amazing was the fact you did not have to pay to go in. Well done Durham.

The whole of Beamish Museum is fantastic plus the suffragettes were excellent and the wheelchair access vehicle is great.
