What people are saying about Winchester

An absolutely wonderful tour through historic Winchester. Our guide Brian was extremely knowledgeable. Not only did we have a wonderful tour, Brian shared much of his general knowledge too. He was easy to listen to and very patient when we bombarded him with questions. When we come to Winchester next time, we shall definitely enrol on the Ghost tour. Thank you.

Our guide was brilliant, very informative, funny and also supportive over the horrendous rain. We had such a good time! I have recently moved to a village near Winchester and knew very little about the city, now I feel totally at home and in love with Win Winchester. Will book again definitely x

Amazing tour by Bryan as always. We first met Bryan in his Southampton Titanic tour and truly enjoyed it. We were surprised to find him in Winchester too! Tour was enjoyable and well organized. So much to learn about Winchester. Definitely 5 stars!

The best way to see any city is with a guided tour. Bryan was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. Didn’t have a bad singing voice either! Would highly recommend Bryan.

I found the tour very interesting and Brian had a huge amount of knowledge of the history of Winchester.
