We went on the tour with an international group of students and everyone had a great time. Although some had never heard of Robin Hood and were quite clueless about English history, the tale came to life, thanks to the charismatic tourguide, who really interacts with his audience. The whole tour was a thrill, not comparable to regular city tours.... More

'Ezekial's' depth of historical knowledge is phenomenal, he really knows his stuff and you can tell he has a passion about getting the details correct. But this isn't a dry, yawn-inducing tour! Not many people can combine that knowledge with a fun, charismatic style that keeps you hooked all the way along like Ade can. A true entertainer, with a... More

Not your average tour. Your guide is very charismatic and engaging in his way of "telling the tale". While passing another tour we heard a woman exclaim, "we chose the wrong tour!". Highly reccomendable More

Simply put, this is one of, if not THE, best tour I've ever taken! I came to Nottingham in search of cheesy Robin Hood tales, but I left as a knowledgeable historian of a figure that has inspired imaginations for centuries (and received the correct dosage of cheesiness!). Our tour guide, Ade, showed us around Nottingham and was able to... More

Thank you my friend! Great in-depth review. Glad you were inspired by the City and its famous son. That is my aim. No cheap shots here to try pull in the punters seeking Robin Hood, just truth and passion. As my word hoard is crafted, even more little known facts and intelligent humour will overflow from this ongoing cultural endeavour.... More

Aye! We definitely believe, as the legend of Robin Hood lives on through Ade... He is as enthusiastic as he is knowledgeable making this tour the highlight of our stay in Nottingham. Having visited Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle previously, Ade consolidated and furthered the knowledge we had already acquired. The depth of information was vast and covered various aspects...

Aye! Aye!! The words will echo around Nottingham town. Thanks for taking the trouble to write an in depth review. It is an art form others can only attempt to copy - cramming in alot of information and intelligent ideas but making it palatable with a healthy garnish of humour and light-heartedness. Glad you picked up on the meassge of... More

'Awesome!' That's just too kind! Glad you like my style. Nottingham's trades and industries woven around the story of Robin Hood do make fascinating tales don't they? Puts the modern day into an interesting perspective doesn't it? This tour is always being crafted and improved and so can only get better. Thanks for your kind words. More

I decided to come to Nottingham for my Queen's Guide Exploration and wanted a tour which included the history of the city and a bit about Robin Hood- I wasn't disappointed! The walking tour was both informative and entertaining for myself and the others in my group. Our guide adapted the tour for our group and was full of interesting... More

We did not really know what to expect from this tour but thought it might be fun. It turned out, however, to be a very informative walk around town in which our Robin Hood deconstructed the Robin Hood legend, managed to intriguingly tell us the story of how historical facts, literary personas and the power of the imagination all got...

Thanks for the great review. Glad you liked the method of deconstruction to eek out the truth of the legend. It is all about stimulating the imagination to make the legend live. Glad also that you got with the gentle humour of the event. All skills which by-pass alot of inferior tours. Spread the word - Robin Hood lives! More

After watching Robin of Sherwood series with Michael Praed seems that there is nothing to change your imagination of Robin the hooded man, but do not hook on that - try Ade's tour in Nottingham and you will see other side of that story. Through the eyes of a man who caries spirit of our days Robin of Sherwood you... More

Bulls-eye! Bang on target my friend. Great to hear that the ethos of my work, and the spirt that conveys it, crosses the language barrier. Real stories well told, against the theatrical backdrop of the historic places, lubricated by a few local beers, like-minded people - what more could you want? Insight. Imagination. Inspiration. Robin Hood for the C21st. Welcome... More

Wow! My gratitude for your very kind words. You are so right. It does come from the heart and it is a spiritual quest for me to seek to speak through the storytelling tradition that created Robin Hood in the first place.
