Interesting and informative.

Barrie knew his stuff and told it well. We got a good feel for the city and it’s history. A very enjoyable trip and helped us with the geography of the city. He also made recommendations for places to eat, which were very helpful.

Great tour with a fantastic guide

Barrie’s knowledge of the history of Lancaster was amazing. His passion for the history of the area is infectious. He tells great stories about things that happened at various points of the tour which kept us engaged and wanting to learn more. The walk was easy and suitable for all levels of fitness. 10 out of 10 Barrie thank you. HIGHLY recommend this activity if you visit Lancaster

What a trip!! Murder and mayhem…and all in Lancaster!

A really interesting trip. Barrie had amazing knowledge delivered with humour and pzazz. Many amusing anecdotes, interspersed with an astounding array of facts. Great stamina. No concessions to the age of his customers or the weather!!! Absolutely excellent.

Interesting tour 🙂

Fascinating insight to Lancaster – Barrie’s knowledge is phenomenal! I hadn’t appreciated how much of a role Lancaster had in the slave trade so it’s pretty humbling at times with various tales that are brought to life outside houses with stories. He’s made a big effort to pull this walking tour together and it was almost three hours long although there’s not tons of walking because of listening to the historical context. I say this as it’s easy for anyone without any fitness to do the trip, aside to a wheelchair user due to a steep downward track at one stage.

Historical gem

We were recommended this tour in a chance encounter with someone and what a treat it turned out to be! Barrie certainly knows the history of Lancaster and delivered it in an entertaining way. We definitely have a greater understanding of how Lancaster has become the place it is today.
