Time and Money Well Spent: Fascinating Tour, Marvelous Historical Sites, Excellent Guide - We spent a delightful day with Alex on a private tour of New Castle, Bamburgh, and Lindisfarne. Not only was Alex extremely knowledgeable about the history of these places, he also enthusiastically conveyed the information, sparking our interest and more questions about what we were seeing. To top it off, Alex is an excellent conversationalist and dinner partner, and we enjoyed talking with him about a plethora of topics related to the society of present-day England and its North. We could sense the great love he has for the North, its culture, and its history, which facilitated our curiosity and learning. Frankly, we could have engaged in dialogue with him all day-- that's how interesting we found his tour-- and regretted only that the day had to end, and we had to move on in our travels. I think we can say that our day with Alex to see Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island was one of the top highlights of our entire UK trip. If we are ever back in New Castle, Durham, or Northumberland, we will be sure to engage his services again.

Terrific day! Terrific tour guide! Highly recommended. - What a great day. Alex is unbelievably knowledgeable. Growing up in the United States, I knew very little about British history. Alex brought it to life. These are beautiful locations and make no mistake you will enjoy visiting them but going with Alex makes it so much better. Highly highly recommended.
