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.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our day out with Amanda in Durham. She was friendly and kind enough to wait as we were late arriving due to unforeseen circumstances that morning. She provided an interesting tour and is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Durham is a beautiful city with an interesting history and well worth visiting.

My family and I were traveling from London to Edinburgh by train and wanted to add a stop for a few hours to visit Durham. Anna was the perfect guide who went above and beyond to make our tour extra special! She was accommodating and helped us plan a private tour that allowed my 82 year old father to join the tour. Anna is very knowledgeable about Durham and also shared some Harry Potter sites which was a huge hit for my daughter :) Thank you Anna for being an amazing guide and going above and beyond while visiting your beautiful city Durham!
