  Very much enjoyed our walking tour with Paul today. Very informative and love Sherborne. Great to have views of the school court at the rear of the Abbey.

  A great way to learn about the history and architecture of Sherborne and to discover otherwise hidden delights. Julia is a fantastic recent addition to the team, able to place... read more things in their wider context and draw out interesting connections. We would thoroughly recommend her tours and were amazed by the modest charge.

  Sherborne is full of architecture from the Middle Ages, Tudor, Stewards, Georgian, Queen Victoria, and all brought to life by Paul the guide whose knowledge is brilliant. Even those of... read more us, like me, who have lived in Sherborne for years, found features and history we had no idea about. The tour was packed with the history of the town and the architecture which was fascinating. Paul brought all this to life with his detailed, and cheerful presentation. It is well worth visiting Sherborne and taking a walk with Paul. I now see Sherborne in a new light. I am already looking forward to the next tour.

  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... read more new about the area.

Having reached out to Paul on the basis of the below reviews I asked 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!

  Paul is an excellent guide. A fount of knowledge on all things Sherbornese. His enthusiasm is infectious and gives you a deeper perspective on this beautiful, ancient city.

  Fantastic informative walk by our extremely knowledgable guide Paul, on the day before the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Sherborne. Not only were we able to appreciate the beauty... read more of the town today, but to relive the traumatic events of that horrific day in Sept 1940. Paul showed us the sites where the bombs fell and read moving accounts by eye-witnesses that he had personally interviewed. History really brought to life.

  We have taken 2 tours with Cindy, and both were delightful. We learned so much history, and enjoyed many sites.

  Wow. What a performance! Cindy is clearly in love with Sir Walter Raleigh! She gave a two hour declaration of his character and life in Sherborne in the beginning of... read more Fifteenth Century.
We have also been on several of Cindy’s Town Walks in Sherborne. She is a natural! Very entertaining.

  A very informative walking tour of the Town by very knowledgable Guides.
As a relatively new Resident (3 Years), it was a great way to have a snapshot of... read more the place we’d moved to.
Now to study the interesting bits in more detail !

  We had a personalised tour with Cindy as there were no other takers on that morning! Very glad we did as Cindy was wonderful. Very informative and made the town... read more tour so much fun whilst imparting the benefit of her vast knowledge of the town. Everyone seemed to know her!!
She pointed our many things of interest and gave us tips on where to go and what to look for. She gave us a really good historical background to all the places we went to or passed by. She also recommended other things to do, including going to a little village called Trent, a few miles NW of Sherborne which has a very interesting church and a great pub!
Don't expect a tour of the Abbey as, to quote her, "they're a bit snotty" about tour guides as they have their own Abbey tour!
After 3 hours, we only completed Part 1 of her tour (there are 2 more!)
Very much recommended and brought the town to life.
