Oakham Historical Pub and Town Tour

Our Private Oakham Pub Tour isn’t just a pub tour but also visits some of the oldest and most characterful parts of the market town of Oakham and we will see castles, churches, market squares, and all sorts of other history along the way. 
A drink for each person in each pub is included in the tour price though of course, soft and sometimes hot drinks are available if preferred.

We normally meet outside Oakham Railway Station which is easy for day-trippers from London (also Nottingham, Peterborough, and Leicester) but this tour is also perfect for anyone staying in one of the lovely hotels in Rutland, all just a short taxi ride away. 

If you’re staying in Oakham itself, I can meet you at your hotel.
