About this activity

Your own guide. Your own time.

Get your bearings and discover Nottingham on an exclusive private tour, with your own local, expert guide.

Our tour is all about spending time with a local, as well as uncovering our deep history. Nottingham has a stranger story than you might expect. Beneath the streets are ancient caves, above them are medieval churches, a legendary outlaw, a notorious inn and a city transformed by the Industrial Revolution. On this 1.5 hour walking tour, your local guide brings those stories to life as you explore Nottingham’s historic heart.

Wander through Nottingham’s oldest streets, uncovering stories of Anglo-Saxon settlers, medieval merchants, and daring outlaws. Learn how the Industrial Revolution transformed the city, hear the secrets of its ancient cave system, and uncover tales of Robin Hood, body snatchers, and revolutionary entrepreneurs who changed the course of history. All with a local, passionate guide!
