We recently had the pleasure of a tour around Mousehole with Elaine. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it. Elaine has so much knowledge and personal experience of growing up here. She has some amazing old photos showing how things were back in the day. We saw parts of Mousehole that we had never seen before. We will certainly be in touch with Elaine next time we are in Cornwall to do another of her walks.

We very much enjoyed this walk in York's City centre that offered a great glimpse of the city's history and character. We particularly liked the guide's (Alfred) perspective and story telling which combines various perspectives, notably architectural and historical. Very professional and captivating.

We live in York and have seen Mad Alice leading tours for a while so decided we'd join one to see what they are like. We were not disappointed. We learned new things about York and the hour and a half was really good fun. Would recommend for locals and tourists alike as a way of getting to know the city's history better.

The treasure hunt was very well designed and offered opportunities to see parts of the city that we might not have found by ourselves. It’s great to run through it at your own pace and take breaks as a when needed. Also offered up some very interesting bits of history as you are going around as well. Would recommend anyone to give this a go.

We had such a great trip. Phil and Phil were the perfect double act! Phil no 1 was funny and knowledgeable and read our party well. Phil no2 made sure we had thrills and bumps aplenty. We laughed all the way - even through the hail storm! And 3 stroppy teens are not the easiest to please. Oh and the birthday singing and the goggles for our eyes were much appreciated too! Thanks Thames Rockets - it was fab!
