Fun and informative experience
Informative and fun experience looking at the wonderful buildings in Nottingham City Centre. Saw lots of details that I’d never noticed before. Lucy is a great guide
Don’t forget to look up
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lucy. She adds detail and knowledge and humour to her tour. It lasted just over 2 hours. Having lived in the city for nearly 50 years it was a revelation! I need to look up more. Ended at Fothergills next to the Castle so had a Sunday roast then looked round the Castle. Brilliant day
Very informative tour

Answer questions well, due to her depth of knowledge.
Eccentric Architecture, Exceptional Guide
Fantastic early evening walk with knowledgable and entertaining guide Lucy. We learnt tons about Nottingham’s talented and eccentric architect Watson Fothergill, whose distinctive buildings can still be seen all around the city centre. Highly recommended.

Lucy proved to be a absolute mine of information, picking into the seams of local knowledge to deliver an absolutely riveting two hours of entertainment. I would thoroughly recommend this walk to anybody wishing to learn more about the works of WF and the city he focussed his professional life in.
Lucy was fab!
Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and friendly local guide. Highly recommended.
