      Fun and Interesting way to spend an evening in Oakham. Highly Recommend
      Stephen is extremely well versed in all things historical and is also very personable. We had a fun tour around town visiting four pubs with a drink included at each stop. He had anecdotes about the pubs’ history and also lesser-known facts about the town I grew up in. Entertaining for locals and visitors - a perfect balance of history and beer! We look forward to doing another one of Stephen’s tours in the future. Especially as he is totally open to customize any tour to suit your interest and the price is very reasonable.

      Fascinating historical tour
      A very entertaining and educational experience. There is so much to learn about the wharf areas of london. Kevin, our guide, is exceptionally knowledgable. He added a rich layer of insight to the known history of the area and pointed out the non obvious. I highly recommend this tour.

      A important City Filled with History and Kindness
      What a charming and delightful city! Me, my Daddy, my brother Brad and my Mum have decided to do the walking tour of Lincoln of the attractions of Lincoln that I never been before and the attractions in Lincoln were excellent and more important to other people when visiting Lincoln and I done the walking tour of Lincoln back in December 2012 when I was a young girl that I was in awe of the history, diversity and genuine kindness of the people we encountered.

      Wonderful Living Museum
      We always wanted to visit the museum and we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful experience visiting all the different area's. The staff are excellent and very knowledgeable throughout the park. We visited over two days as you need that time in our opinion to take it all in.

      A walk through the history of the North East
      So much better than a normal museum mainly because of all the volunteer workers who interact in character and know so much about the era they are representing. The visit to the mine will live long in my memory as I had to bend so low to walk how on earth the miners managed is beyond me. Seeing pictures of miners working in an 18” high seam made me wonder how much of their body was covered in cuts and bruises and no doubt scabs. I have a greater understanding of the courage of these people now. The rest of the museum was as good especially the 1950s street but it’s churlish to pick one over the over. A great day for all the family for sure

      Bloomsbury Walking tour
      An informative and enjoyable walk around Bloomsbury learning about the famous and creative past inhabitants. Stephen was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide with a very easy manner and a relaxed way of delivering information and facts. Great fun as a late birthday treat. He even laid on the sunshine (well, possibly!)

      Top class tour, top class company, top class guide
      On the strength of a brilliant and informative tour of Lincoln with Ye Olde England tours and our guide Stephen we booked Stamford and Oakham Private Tour. Once again this was a well thought out and delivered tour covering both the highlights and the lesser know little gems of these very different towns. Stephen met us in Oakham where he is now based and straightaway we knew that his vast knowledge of his subject and easy style would prove to be a winner as we explored this beautiful Rutland town before moving on to Stamford where once again we were treated to an informative tour of both the major and not so well known sites. Our day finished with an add on visit to picturesque Rutland Water and the beautiful and iconic Normanton Church. If you are looking for an informative and interesting tour delivered in a friendly and fun style then you can't go wrong with Ye Olde England Tours

      5* Lincoln tour with a 5* guide
      Having chosen to visit Lincoln on a short break we decided that the best way to get to the heart of the City and its history was on a private walking tour and so we booked with Ye Olde England Tours and boy did we make the right choice. Stephen, our guide for the day was absolutely amazing, from meeting us at our accommodation right through to the end of the tour he was perfect, his depth of knowledge together with his easy, relaxed style and sense of humour make him the perfect host. With Stephen we got to see not just the big tourist highlights but other lesser known places of interest around the city that we simply would never have even known about much less visited had we been on our own. I cannot recommend Ye Olde England Tours and Stephen highly enough, so much so that we booked for another Lincolnshire tour

      A Highlight of Our London Vacation
      Stephen was fantastic! He was funny, super knowledgeable and accommodating for my slow-walking mother. When we go back to London we will definitely book another tour with Stephen.

      Excellent venue for all ages. Going back to yesteryear, learning how our ancestors carried out their daily lives. Ride a Tram , the visit to the Dentist was eye watering ! A treat in the bakers , a quarter of sweets … first time in decades for us. The manor house was amazing , and a bonus a Tavern next door! So much to see and do , it could take a couple of days . We were time limited so missed a lot , mostly because the rain never stopped all day sadly. We would return .

    Kevin met me at my hotel and showed me many historical sites. The entire tour is walking or using the "tube" London is a walking city. From the first anti air craft gun to St. Paul's Cathedral to the Churchill War Rooms Kevin gave expert historical perspective that only a Londoner could provide. It was a fascinating historical experience. If you like history- especially WW2 this is a great tour. When I return to London I look forward to another tour with Kevin.

    We had a wonderful walking tour with Kevin! From the Anti-aircraft guns to the St Paul's area, to the Churchill War rooms, Kevin was a fountain of knowledge about everything in London. He knows every nook and cranny and has so much knowledge, that for us, this was not just a Blitz tour, but a fabulous tour of London. Adding to his knowledge is his warm and friendly personality. We would recommend Kevin for any London tour.

    We're scheduled for the WW2 Blitz tour, but since it was our first time in London, and we had the time, Kevin (our fantastic guide) customized our tour to fit in both the Blitz tour, along with any additional history he could fit in. His knowledge of the city is spectacular. Kevin blends both traditional historical spots with interesting, less know spots. I recommend taking a tour early in your trip so you can appreciate all the additional insight a tour like this gives you. Kevin really seemed to love what he does, and it made the tour that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend taking this tour, and any other tour that Kevin does.

    We're so glad that you enjoyed our WW2 London Blitz tour. As you say it is a good mix of the more traditional spots with lesser visited locations. We had a lot of fun ourselves when we put the tour together, would would think there is still so much evidence of The Blitz in London right in front of our eyes... well nearly!
