5Durham, England
Ken is a great tour guide. Durham is a classic North East England experience. The English countryside is beautiful!
5An enjoyable and informative experience
I’m from Co Durham originally and was visiting the area with friends from the Midlands. Ken was an excellent guide. He gave us a lot of information about the history of the city and its surrounding towns and villages. It was useful to hear about Lord Londonderry’s influencer in the area as a trip to Seaham was on our itinerary. I would certainly recommend his tours.
5Excellent tour guide
Ken is an excellent tour guide. Very good knowledge and company. Would highly recommend. This was done at very short notice 👌
5Excellent Durham City...
Excellent Durham City Tour led by very well informed, enthusiastic and friendly guide Ken. He took into account places we’d already explored and adjusted the walk accordingly. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative couple of hours.
5Durham City tour on a Saturday morning
Spent a great two hours with Ken. There were just two of us on the tour. He is warm and friendly and knowledgeable. Nice easy tour of beautiful Durham. Not a strenuous walking tour as Durham is not big, suitable for most people. Great tour guide. Thanks for making it fun Ken! Sarah and Tom from New Zealand.
5Durham - A historical primer
Ken was a friendly and knowleadgable guide - providing local history and stories with connections to other parts of Britain. We learned a few new things about William the Conqueror and his superstitions as well as an unlikely friendship between a near-giant man and a poetic Polish dwarf. This 2 hour walk also gives some good exercise.

About Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is a Teesside town on the River Tees, built on iron and steel, with a famous transporter bridge and the North York Moors close behind.
Middlesbrough lies on the south bank of the River Tees in north-east England, historically in Yorkshire. It grew from a farm into a major ironworking town in the nineteenth century after ironstone was found in the Cleveland Hills, and its bridge-building firms worked on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge.
