As well as our award winning scheduled free and pre-paid walking tours, we also offer bookable private walking tours and experiences.

Benefits of a Private Tour?

The obvious benefit of booking a private walking tour experience with us is that you get dedicated guides who can tailor the experience to your needs. 

We have a variety of different walking tours on different subjects across the city. Our guides are also skilled and knowledgeable. We can therefore curate tours on specific geographical areas of the city and historic periods; as well as providing a mix of subjects based on your interests.

We can also include optional extras including hospitality at local restaurants and public houses, and experiences in local visitor attractions and businesses. For example people are often keen to include a guided tour inside Lincoln Cathedral which our guides can arrange and accommodate as part of a tour.

How Much Does it Cost?

Our standard rates for private walking tours are intentionally set to be as affordable as possible for visitors. We are competitive and often more affordable than similar experiences in other tourist destinations across the UK.

For private walking tours (up to 3 hours), prices start from £105 (for groups of up to 12) and £180 (for larger groups up to 30). We can also provide discounts for local businesses.

If your group is larger than 30 or you are looking for something more bespoke or complex please get in touch and we can build an itinerary and provide a costing for your experience. 

Testimonials

'I am a Classics teacher and I considered leading my own school group around the Roman sites in Lincoln. However, I decided to arrange this tour instead and I was very impressed with the knowledge and clarity with which the tour was delivered. I had 46 students and these were divided into two groups, with two excellent tour guides, who kept the students engaged on a hot day, with interesting facts and pictures of reconstructions of the Roman buildings. They tailored the trip to our needs, as we had to finish in a certain location at a certain time. I would not hesitate to book them again.'

'I'm a travel advisor and booked a private tour of Lincoln with Brant. He was terrific in helping me plan just the right tour for my client. Answered my emails promptly, followed up with answers to my questions. He picked my client up at the train station and walked around Lincoln visiting Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle grounds. When finished with the tour, Brant helped my client get a taxi where she finished her tour at the International Bomber Command Centre. He even purchased entry tickets. Brant charged a very reasonable price. Upon return to US, my client said Lincoln was the highlight of her tour of England.'
