An Enjoyable Evening, which was Great Value! - We spent an interesting and entertaining evening being shown around historic Warwick. We heard the history and tales of various characters who lived in the town many years ago and their ghosts that remain in old houses and the castle. We were escorted round in a small group to the castle walls, the old prison behind the court house, Lord Leyster Hospital , and the local church and market place.

Entertaining, engaging storyteller. Highly recommend - What a fabulous evening we had. We were only at Warwick for the evening to break up a long journey, but I booked this, hoping to pass time in the evening. The thoroughly engaging storyteller had everyone hooked, we learnt so much history of Warwick and some very strange and dark tales. Brilliant evening, not too much walking so great even for those with poor mobility. Highly recommend, ended at the pubs so lovely drink to finish a fab evening

Awesome! - I learnt so many things about the town i grew up in that i never knew, and things id walked past daily and didn't realise the significance. Everything was communicated in a really fun and interesting way, and lasted the perfect amount of time. Id recommend to residents and people visiting Warwick and its something different and makes you appreciate our little town even more!

Bygone days of Warwick! - Very informative and well presented! Our guide took us on a tour of beautiful old Warwick streets and buildings steeped in history! Some stories were quite macabre, an insight into the life of bygone times. 10/10.
