Samuel took our tour, last Sunday. This was our first visit to Portsmouth for a autumnal holiday. We had exceptionally mild weather and a beautiful warm sunshine, it was a grand day. Samuel was very prompt and as no one else had booked we had a a private tour guide. It is exceptional value for money and the tour took us around places, snickleways and alleys that we would have never known existed. He is a wealth of information and very knowledgeable on everything Portsmouth. We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend this experience to visitors and locals alike. Thankyou for a fabulous afternoon with a difference.
