Great trip with Peter Groark, a lovely guide. Loads of fascinating stories about Durham. We had a couple of extra walkers but Peter refused any extra payment which was the cherry on a very good cake. Thanks Peter

Great tour. Peter told some really interesting stories as we strolled through central Durham - along the river and near the cathedral and castle. Such a fascinating history of the place. Just a perfect start to our 2 day exploration of Durham. Thank you Peter

We were able to book this en route to Durham and met up with Peter on arrival. This short and accessible walking tour was the perfect introduction to the city. Peter is hugely well informed and, unlike some other tours, does not waste our time with frivolous and silly tales. This is a great overview of the history and the character of the city but perfectly entertaining also. He is a great advocate for this wonderful city and extremely good company as a guide. Much recommended!
