Exceptional experience! We learned so much from Dr Gonzalez. She really knows her history and weaves it into the current day. Our tour was exactly what we hoped for and frankly exceeded our expectations. Because of her, we will come back. Thank you so much!

Historical Winchester

Published on Nov, 2024

An extremely informative tour of Winchester given by Lilian. I was taken to places I would never have found myself - for instance, the house where Jane Austen died. Taking a guide is definitely the best way to discover a new town.

Medieval Winchester brought to life

Published on Nov, 2024

Dr Gonzales really knows her stuff. Historians really have their work cut out in Winchester since so much has been lost. But Dr Gonzales painted a vivid picture. Loved her explanation of the cathedral makeover to a Gothic style by Bishop William of Wykeham
