This was a very good walk. It was geared to the time we had available and the limited mobility of one of us. Alex is very well informed and the tour revealed much about Leamington which was new even for those of us who had visited many times before. We look forward to arranging another interesting and entertaining walk with him.

Alex was a great guide and very knowledgeable about all the key events and buildings in the centre of Warwick. We loved the hidden Quaker garden and the Mill Street garden below Warwick Castle. He tailored the tour to our group’s needs and allowed us to stop off for tea and cake at Thomas Oaken’s tearoom. A very interesting and informative afternoon which I would highly recommend to anyone.

My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our one-hour tour today. Alex was a very knowledgeable, engaging guide. They pride themselves on their flexibility, and so he was unfazed and very nice about it when we turned up 70mins late with very little notice due to unforeseen traffic-related delays. Alex was very personable and polite, telling us all about many different places and historical events such as the Great Fire of Warwick. The one-hour tour included places such as the church, the old court and the Lord Leister Hospital (currently closed for renovation but we had a lovely talk outside it). I would thoroughly recommend this tour for any visitors to the area, and even local residents wishing to improve their knowledge about local history and architecture. Alex was a really brilliant guide.

9 of us booked a tour after an intense day of meetings. Alex is smart, spoke clearly and is clearly intelligent and closely connected with the town. We all enjoyed our walk round the town and the unique insights Alex brought.

Alex was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. He was very hospitable and we learnt a tremendous amount about Warwick in the short time we had available. Thank you Alex for a super morning.

Excellent walking tour of Warwick. Friendly knowledgable lad who knew his stuff and answered all the questions patiently (sometimes repeatedly!). We were a small group and he paced the walking perfectly. Amazing place and Rohan risked life and limb to take our photo at the bridge with the castle behind us (busy road!). Thanks Alex for organising this,

Alex took us on our two hour tour of Warwick, he was, interesting, knowledgeable and a very nice young man. He showed us around the interesting sights of Warwick as well as leading us to some hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. I would defiantly recommend this tour. Excellent value for money. Thank you Alex

Alex provided an excellent tour of Warwick and Leamington. He really knew his stuff and was also a very pleasant person. Having done walking tours all around the world, this was amongst the best ones.

Lovely walking tour lead by Rohan, a group of 9 of us enjoyed the tour, found it fun and informative and quite a few tips about places to visit later.

I went on the Warwick history tour a few months ago with my family. I was very impressed by Henry's in-depth knowledge of the area's history. His tour was engaging and well-worth our time and money. This was especially the case as the tour was private, and fitted with our schedule.
