Glad you enjoyed the tour Ellee. Allan does a wide range of local tours all of which are really interesting. As you say his delivery brings the whole tour alive. He does a great talk on ‘rubbish’!

I joined Alan on a tour of Cambridge last night and I would give him 11 out of 10. He was fun, so intelligent, perceptive and fun. No wonder he has so many fans…

The tour sounds great! It’s people like him that really make a tour. I arranged on when we visited Oxford for the literary festival. We went on the CS Lewis tour and it was interesting and lively, packed with information, the tour guide was so knowledgable and could answer any question. He strongly recommended other places to visit that were just a bit out of Town and I’ve promised the children we will visit. I don’t know why some people think children need loud noise and cheap tat to have a good time. Don’t get me wrong, that can work, but children are so often sold short. Mine loved this tour. I must visit Cambridge.

What a lovely story Ellee. I am sure it would be a great pleasure to take a tour with him.

We have someone here who does that, although we don’t have a long history by any means. The Faculty Women’s Club often hire him to take a group of us on a walk in the various areas of the city which do have interesting things and he has written a book which is a good guide to doing it yourself.
