An amazing walking tour of Warwick - History, Mystery, and Charm! - We had a great time on the Warwick Walking Tour and it exceeded my expectations! The tour started under the bridge, which set a perfectly eerie tone. The tunnel's dark, atmospheric setting was an ideal kickoff to our journey through Warwick's history. Our guide was brilliant and absolutely engrossing. He knew how to bring the town's fascinating and dark history to life with engaging, theatrical storytelling. We explored some of the town's oldest and most beautiful streets, learning, stories from across the centuries and eerie tales of Warwick's dark past. It was a fun and entertaining way to explore the town with its winding, historic streets that are full of character, you can really feel the history in the air. Highly recommend!

Most interesting and well researched historical tour I’ve been on. - Highly recommend this. One of the most detailed, well curated and interesting historical walks I’ve been on. The stories were absolutely fascinating! I assumed it would be mostly centred around the castle but he took us so much further than that - Warwick has such a rich history and he brought it to life so beautifully.
