Tour Privado Winchester
Descrição
Você aprenderá sobre as lendas em torno de alguns dos locais mais icônicos em Winchester. Você conhecerá personagens notáveis de reis, rainhas e bispos que trabalham arduamente para dar à cidade sua reputação difícil de ganhar, como o rei Alfred. Este passeio cobre uma ampla gama de eventos históricos, caminhando por diferentes partes da cidade para se conectar com seu caráter e bela arquitetura inspirada em edifícios proeminentes como a catedral de Winchester e o castelo antigo. Não é todos os dias que você visita a antiga capital do reino com um historiador medieval! *Embora o Dr. Lillian Cespedes Gonzalez (historiador de doutorado) entregue a maioria das excursões que a equipe cresceu desde 2021. O resto da equipe são treinados por ela e historiadores / professores / ou estudantes de história da Universidade de Winchester. Veja nossas avaliações*

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
Our guide James, was very friendly and knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of Winchester. Even though it was raining for the majority of the tour it did not dampen our experience.
Thanks for joining us!
I learned a lot about Winchester from a real expert. I particularly enjoyed learning more about King Alfred, and exploring some of the byways and back-ways. A great experience.
Thanks so much we'd love to have you again
It was very interesting! My guide was Sam, who is doing his master's degree in history. He was very open to answering my questions about the history of Winchester and overall England - I really appreciated that!
Thanks so much!
