This tour is great for anyone making a day trip from London. We would meet you outside Peterborough Station (45 mins from London). It's a short walk to the wonderful old Guildhall. Built originally in 1671 it has served as both a market & a townhall. A farmers market is still held here regularly along with many over events in the square. A short stroll away is the really rather wonderful Peterborough Cathedral which we shall explore inside. We can then get the train a short distance to either the beautiful Georgian Town of Stamford famed as being the most beautiful stone built and Georgian town in Britain. Then on to Oakham, see the unique castle set amongst its old walls and beautiful park with old bandstand. Admire the fabulous old church and check out the old Stocks in the Buttermarket amongst much more besides. Oakham and Rutland are known for being great for foodies and there is lots to see & buy. It's a private tour so runs when you want it and at whatever pace you like.

        Didn't do the tour (nonTour not listed) but a well laid out set of hangers. Easy to find, free large carpark and free entry!! Nice on site café with good variety of basic meals! Highly recommend.

        Edinburgh must see
        Great! We enjoyed touring the castle and could have spent many more hours seeing it all. Highlights were the Scottish Crown Jewels, and the small chapel. We were fortunate to be there in August and attend the Military Tattoo on the Castle esplanade.

        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.
