Scoprirai le leggende intorno ad alcune delle località più iconiche di Winchester. Potrai conoscere personaggi notevoli di re, regine e vescovi che lavorano duramente per dare alla città la sua reputazione duramente guadagnata, come re Alfredo. Questo tour copre una vasta gamma di eventi storici, camminando attraverso diverse sezioni della città per entrare in contatto con il suo carattere e la splendida architettura ispirata a edifici di spicco come la cattedrale di Winchester e il vecchio castello. Non capita tutti i giorni di visitare l’antica capitale del regno con uno storico medievale! *Anche se la dottoressa Lillian Cespedes Gonzalez (storica del dottorato) offre la maggior parte dei tour che il team ha fatto crescere dal 2021. Il resto del team è formato da lei e da storici/insegnanti/o studenti di storia dell'università di Winchester. Vedi le nostre recensioni*

Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the British history and the Winchester history we were seeing. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to the first time. We did this first thing in the morning and then explored on our own afterwards and felt comfortable wandering around where our guide had taken us.
Thank you kindly we are very happy to have toured with you!
We had an absolute wonderful day. Lily is probably the best tour guide we've ever had on any excursion ever. We learned so much about Winchester and its history, and she was very passionate about it.
It was just such an honour to have you with me. Please come back any time
Michelle was a superb guide. Professional and couteous. Encyclopedic knowlege of the history of Winchester and England. What are great tour! Scotty
Thanks so much come back any time!!
Booked for the Anglo-Saxon, King Alfred focus the listing leads on, and expecting Dr Lillian. At 1.30am on the day I was told I’d be met by someone else. The tour gave about five minutes to Alfred before moving on to building prices and local wealth — not what’s advertised, and a group passing nearby were covering exactly the history I’d hoped for. Disappointing in itself. What tipped it was the reaction when I raised it afterwards: defensive and argumentative rather than willing to listen. Wouldn’t book again.
This tour has never been listed as a tour focused or exclusive about king Alfred or the anglo saxons which is apparent in our description and itinerary. It is very clearly said in our terms and conditions that Lillian isn't the only one - and nor did you request a specific one. You literally turned up to the tour and told our guide what you were interested on the spot and our guide did the best to accommodate while delivering the tour you actually hired which is a private walking tour of Winchester not king Alfred. You then came to threaten us, speak rudely to us and ignore any of the comments we made about the terms and conditions of your booking. You wanted a customised specialist tour with no communication to us and then made us pay the price for your entitlement which we could have serviced if only we would have known in advance as clearly stated in the communications you received from us. We sincerely hope you never book again.
The city and Cathedral have much to offer. Definitely worth the visit. Our guide was sub par. A good guide always enhances the tour, this one did not. He was impatient and seemed focused on finishing and moving on. At one point one of the ladies asked if there were restrooms nearby. He said yes and kept moving. Finally we saw a sign and said can we stop and use restrooms? He rolled his eyes and relented. If this young man wants to improve 1) be patient with your group 2) know your city 3) stop doing things that make your customers uneasy We are on vacation and we want to enjoy it
This young man has received plenty of praise on our platform whose name is Thomas and you can see that. He knows the city well, and we have never heard anything but good on his behalf. However Thomas remembers your tour well and remembers you being not the most pleasant group to work with so perhaps, the feedback is mutual.
An enjoyable trip around Winchester with a student guide who was very pleasant. Arrived and finished on time. I would say it was over priced.
Thanks for your feedback. Considering you paid 25 pounds per person for a private tour where you were the only participants, with the guide entirely for yourselves for 90 minutes, the price of the tour is actually correctly priced. Private guided tours are normally priced at a premium, as we perform them at a very affordable price. Considering you haven't said a single complaint to justify your criticism, we cannot help but respectfully disagree with your comment or rating.
Our tour was great. Lillian was an excellent guide.
Thank you so much, it was great having you!
I did this tour. There is a decent amount to see. It was an easy train ride down from London. I did the tour. The guide was great. The Main Street, the hall, and the church were great.
Thank you kindly! Glad you had a good time
Very informative and delivered in an interesting way, taken at our pace which was nice and slow, so would totally recommend
Thanks so much for spending some time with us
Lillian was a great guide. She walked us bravely through Winchester (at in some moments a horrible down pour of rain) with nothing but cheer. noting all the history as well as its more modern quirks. She’s super knowledgeable and very personable. We especially loved being shown the little pockets of monuments and history that would have been easy to miss by ourselves. Thank you for a great morning, it was the perfect start to our day out as newbies to the town.
Thank you so much for spending some time with us and trusting us with your tour despite the rain! Take care
