Everyone was buzzing with how much they had enjoyed the tour

I arranged a private tour for a few friends and it was brilliant. Lucy set just the right pace and it was both informative and entertaining -she's a great storyteller. We learnt how to identify a Fothergill building as well as lots of fascinating history of families and businesses in Nottingham city centre. We arranged to end our walk with a meal at Fothergills by the castle and everyone was buzzing with how much they had enjoyed the tour. It was excellent value for two hours and highly recommended.
