Very informative and interesting tour with a lovely chap who told us all about Durham and its history. He brought the history to life with all his funny engaging stories. We would thoroughly recommend this tour and this tour guide to anyone visiting Durham. Worth every penny and more.

Wonderful tour, thoroughly recommend. Pete is a lovely guy who is so knowledgeable about the city and history of it. We really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Really interesting tour of the city, went in the winter in the evening which really added to the atmosphere and was a good opportunity to see the city lit up in the dark. Peter had an extensive knowledge of the city and told it well, it was a smaller tour group that night but he was still able to fill up a full 90 minute tour and answer all questions.

Extremely knowledgeable Explained everything so well, answered questions Lots of stories and fun facts Adjusted pace of tour to suit our needs

Fab full city tour.... The best mix of history, myth, legend and local custom. Peter was very entertaining and informed and gave us tips on how to get the best from the rest of our trip. This was a delightful way to get oriented in this wonderful city.

This walking tour around Durham was excellent, our guide was very knowledgeable and brought the history of Durham alive for us. The tour lasted 90min starting in the market square and included the cathedral, university and prison. The pace of the tour was easy with only one steep path to negotiate and ending under Elvet bridge meant we were in the middle of town ideal for a bite to eat or a couple of pints.

As a group of friends who regularly go to Durham we were absolutely intrigued by the history and tales our tour guide Peter presented us with. Loads of stories we knew nothing about which made it more interesting. An excellent way of getting to know more about Durhams secret dark past highly recommend the tour and the tour guide Peter

Gona keep this simple and breif, it was fantastic. Out guide who is a teacher full time clearly loves his history and is very passionate about the town and the stories it has to tell. The tours are in small groups, which make it very personal, and it was interesting speaking to the other people in the group who were a lovely middle-aged couple coming back from Scotland. The pub selection was great and I revisted all the pubs we went to. A half pint of beer and a sit-down chat about the history was really nice and again made the experience very personal. Being a solo traveller, it was a nice touch to speak to other people who love their history. The tour probably lasted about 3 hours. However, this flew by and I could have spent hours chatting away. 30 quid is a steal really for three hours of history and some lovely beer to go with it. Perfect for this time of year when it's getting colder. A must when in Durham , will happily do it again when I'm back. 10/10 literally flawless

Saw and learned about lots of interesting places in Durham. Tour went ahead even though there were only 2 of us. Great tour guide. Durham is a nice city to visit

Peter knew his stuff, and was a delightful companion. If you like history, walking, and beer, then this tour is for you! Highly recommended.

We found this tour quite by accident but were convinced by the description and reviews. They didn't lie - in the two hours we walked around Durham our guide Peter almost always had an interesting fact to give about the view and the buildings. You'll get an overview of the well known and less well known spots in Durham and quite the history lesson of Durham in all of its fascinating (and gruesome) aspects. Peter is also a well of recommendations, if you are still planning where to eat and what to visit.

Can’t recommend highly enough. Learned so much about Durham past and present. Coincided with Uni open day which possibly resulted in a few more stories. Now know the meaning behind money for old rope and going for a burton! Make sure you wear comfy shoes, it’s hilly and lots of cobbles.

Me and my friend really enjoyed this tour - it was just the 2 of us plus the guide so it was very friendly and interactive! He also had a great sense of humour and didn't mind us taking a couple of drinks around with us. Great value for money, very pleased we booked

What a fabulous introduction the history of Durham - and its pubs. Peter was super knowledgeable and made it really interesting-real insights into so many things we would have otherwise missed. And combining history and beer - what’s not to like. 100% recommend. Great value and definitely got more from our few days here as a result.

Peter was v knowledgeable. If you want to learn the history of Durham his tour is not to be missed. Peter clearly enjoys what he does and that clearly shows in his tour v enjoyable thanks so much Peter - Ian &Mary
