My 12yr old and I really enjoyed Ray’s tour. The amount of fascinating knowledge of Colchester he has is astounding, but what really matters on these kinds of tours is the manner in which the information is conveyed. Ray’s delivery was spot-on. He brought just the right balance of enthusiasm and humour into the tour and was exceptionally engaging. We were both very impressed. My daughter commented afterwards “He spoke in a way that made me want to listen and kept my brain switched on. I didn’t zone out once”. Thanks, Ray. It was great.

Ray gave clear instructions re the arrangements for meeting etc. He was absolutely overflowing with information and has a huge knowledge of local and Roman history which he imparted with great enthusiasm. So much to take in, Colchester is such an interesting place, thriving, and its many years of history evident in the buildings and architecture that are still in existence. 1.5 hrs is just the right time to see enough but not be overwhelmed.

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening tour with Ray. He makes the tour so much fun. His knowledge, deliverance and enthusiasm are infectious. My 80 year old mother joined us on the tour and the pace was no issue for her. You don’t walk miles, it’s walk, then stop throughout with a couple of stops with seating. The tour ended in a building which had approximately 15 steps. We loved the tour and will definitely book with Ray for more of his tours.
