Enjoyable group walk - Guided walking tour of Nottingham with host Sam lasted 1.5 hours. Lots of interesting facts learnt. There was 5 people in the group which was a nice fairly intimate number. The walk was very manageable and ended at the castle.

An excellent walking tour - It was an excellent experience, and it would be well worth spending 90 minutes of your time here on this tour of Nottingham. Sam was an excellent guide, friendly, and very knowledgeable on the history of the area. She pointed out lots of interesting places and crammed in lots of information.

Adventures in Nottingham: A Memorable Walking Tour Experience! - I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour of Nottingham led by the delightful Sam, and let me just say, it was an adventure worth every step! I was a bit nervous when I found out I was the only participant—imagine me standing there, feeling like the last kid picked for dodgeball. But Sam, the kind-hearted person that she is, welcomed me with open arms and turned what could have been an awkward solo stroll into a personal tour of all things Nottingham. Sam is not just a guide; she’s a walking encyclopedia of facts and legends, with a sprinkle of enthusiasm that made every story come alive. Despite the absence of other participants, she didn’t skip a beat and made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. From tales of Robin Hood to the quirky history of the city, I found myself captivated and laughing at every twist and turn. Who knew history could be so entertaining? By the end of the tour, I felt like I had made a new friend and gained a treasure trove of knowledge. I’m incredibly grateful for the time we spent together this morning. If you’re considering a walking tour in Nottingham, do yourself a favor and ask for Sam. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Sam, for being so awesome and turning my unexpected solo tour into a memorable experience!

Great introduction to the city - Sam was very friendly and knew much about the town. A great way to quickly get to know a place. I used the knowledge to book events later in the day.

Nice tour and guide, good information - We were the only two participants on this day. But that was no reason for our Guide Sam not to make a nice city tour of it. In 1.5 hours we saw the highlights of Nottingham and heard a lot of fun and useful information. Sam could dose the information well and alternated it with personal and funny stories.
