Testimonials:

Our time with you has been so precious, rare and golden. You could not have been more kind and considerate to our needs and desire to learn about your beautiful region, not to mention that it was a joy to just be with you. Sally and I agree our highlight was visiting Durham Cathedral. It was awesome! We can’t thank you enough and we shall never forget you. – B&S B. Ohio.

Tom Keating was the most informative, fluent and entertaining guide, an excellent Ambassador for your Region. He held our attention on the tours from beginning to end. Our party all agreed he is the best guide we have ever encountered. North East England is so lucky to have the services of such an excellent guide. -  RD. West Sussex.
