A thoroughly enjoyable and informative trip with our beautiful home Town of Warwick! - A very informative tour around our home town with Ed giving us some great history of his Character Robert Dudley and the then owner of the Castle. He also managed to explain quite complicated historical events surrounding the Lancaster and York houses (The war of the Roses).

Excellent and fascinating tour - We took our grandchildren aged 8 and 10 on this tour. Although we live locally, we really enjoyed the tour and discovered something new about the city. The grandchildren enjoyed building on their knowledge from school history lessons and Ed was excellent at engaging them. Would recommend

Warwick is romantic - I went on this tour recently with my boyfriend as we heard Warwick was a romantic town, and now even more romantic after hearing about the scandalous affairs between Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I

A great time in Warwick - Had an incredible time seeing Warwick. The guide was very informative and I was especially interested in the war of the roses. Robert Dudley was a great guide and Edward played the role really well. The wether was great and it was really great to see the places on the tour. Definitely worth doing after seeing the castle!

Wish I was Elizabeth 😉 - So I was in the area and looking for the best way to venture the town of Warwick I fancy myself as a bit of an explorer, my heroes growing up were Christopher Columbus, Alexander the Great and Indiana Jones. However I have a new hero and he goes by the name of Robert Dudley played beautifully by our tour guide Edward, who I must say is rather dashing, during the tour he tapped me on the shoulder, I haven’t washed since, but anyways I have conquered Warwick, Birmingham is next where I look forward to the infamous Peaky Blinder, one can only hope it’s as enchanting, oh my I cannot wait.
