Thank you for supporting us during 2021. Are you looking for original ideas for a Christmas gift?
Read this review from January 2021.
"I bought a private walking tour as a Christmas present for my family, wanting something we could do together (covid safe), enjoy even with our ...different tastes and learn something new about the area.
Having reached out to Paul to ask if he would be able to accommodate something for us - and did he deliver!
Honestly this was such a brilliant day out that the family continue to bring up. Paul is enthusiastic, paces the tour well and brings so much context to a town that you would miss just by taking a stroll around.
We covered so much history and some hilarious I can't believe that happened stories that I really have discovered a new level of love for Sherborne.
Please do reach out and book a place, it's such a fabulous way to spend a few hours and you're guaranteed to learn a piece of history and make some wonderful memories."
Have a great time!
