Amazing and friendly!

What a wonderful tour. Such history here that we were so very unaware of. It was nice to have someone that has such rich history here informing us of so much of the town’s history.

Wonderful walking tour

I love doing walking tours in new places and this was a really good one. Esmé is friendly and considerate, and a well informed and interesting guide. She’s obviously done a lot of research. It was a very enjoyable tour and I really liked sharing it with the tour group. Great tip for amazing fish and chips too. Big thanks all round.

Highlight of our seaside day out with the family

What a great tour! Something for everyone - my husband loved all the historical info and 10 year old daughter enjoyed Esme's stories. Although we know Lyme a bit already there was still plenty to learn and see (including a hidden lane I'd never noticed) and the views at the end were spectacular. Esme was entertaining and inclusive, and a fount of all sorts of useful local knowledge. A must-do for a visit to Lyme Regis.

The tour was Interesting & informative. We’ve been going to Lyme for years & we visited areas we’d never been to & learned a lot about the town & it’s history. Esme was really knowledgeable & friendly. The tour is certainly recommended.
