Perfect mix of historical & architectural knowledge - Jim was our guide today, and there was only 3 of us, my husband, myself & a lady from the USA, so perfect small group. Jim was friendly, knowledgeable, and made learning about the area fun. It certainly meant that after the tour we were more aware of architectural details and places we wanted to visit. We are definitely going to return to Stamford for a more in depth visit, as there’s plenty to see, and that’s all thanks to Jim, taking us off the beaten track.

Excellent town tour - We had an excellent tour of Stamford with Kiffy, our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the town's history and the tour was well paced. So much information given about it's history and architecture. I would highly recommend booking this tour if you would like to learn more about this beautiful town.

An excellent tour - An excellent tour given by Bill Cunningham. There was a bit of a mix up with the booking but the tour company reacted well and we attended in the afternoon instead of the morning. So glad we did as Bill made it very interesting and amusing. Would highly recommend him. Stamford itself is a great place to visit.

Facts and fascination - We have just returned from a visit to Stamford and were incredibly fortunate to attend a walking tour of the town with Nicola. Such a pretty town not overly touristy and Nicola was awash with interesting facts, not only about the buildings but the history of Stamford’s rise and fall with lots of anecdotes thrown in. Cannot recommend Nicola highly enough and despite the rain making an appearance later on it did not dampen our experience.

Absolutely perfect - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour guided by Nicola starting outside the Town Hall. She imparts her knowledge and passion for this beautiful town in a well paced, clear and easy to picture style. We would thoroughly recommend this tour if you love your history along with beautiful architecture and to understand how this gem of a town was born.
