Weird Warwick wins

Published on Feb, 2025

Great night to explore Warwick in good company & hear some great tales! Fantastic presentation. Highly enjoyable. Lovely to have dog friendly activity

If you're looking for something different, interesting and a little spooky in Warwick, this is what you're looking for!

Published on Jan, 2025

I've lived in Warwick for most of my life and never knew all of the interesting facts about my hometown! I've walked past several of the locations an innumerable amount of times without realising the history behind them. The stories were told in a gripping manner and the facts were delivered without being overwhelming (as even the most interesting history can sometimes be). Indeed I will be very wary that I don't glimpse any hellhounds! 10/10, will definitely be arranging another Tour and recommending this to others that I know.

Great evening

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing. Great knowledge and so much fun. We only live 10mins away so this was a great date night. Have already recommended it to other.

Excellent Weirdness on Warwick Cobbles

Published on Jan, 2025

A wonderful experience to be had on Old Warwick Towns Cobbles. Stories of Crime, Punishments, Famous Names, Dark History and a hint of Paranormal. This is a glimpse of Warwick never before told in such a passionate way by our Tour Guide who has structured a perfect dose of stories to keep all ages captivated. As a tour guide myself I thought this was simply exceptional A Must See And Excellent Price For The 1 hlf hour tour
