What a fantastic introduction to Lincoln .Matt did the tour this morning and the depth of his knowledge is impressive. We had beautiful weather that showed the city at its best ! A must do if you visit .
Guy
Matt displayed a knowledge of passion and knowledge for history that was infectious, I now know more about Lincoln then I do my own home town! Hugely worth doing if your visiting lincoln or have a passing interest in history/ architecture.

Christmas lights walking tour Although a rainy evening, we joined a lovely group and were led on a really interesting tour of Lincoln by Matt and Brant. We live locally but learned lots about Lincoln’s history with some great links to the festive period. Would definitely recommend and will be looking forward to doing some of the other walks in the drier weather
Gillian
Excellent and very informative walking tour around Lincoln. Engaging, humorous, the knowledge of Brant on Lincoln oddities knows no bounds. But shout out to newbie Marisa who certainly knows her Lincoln gallows! One of the best free walking tours I’ve done over the years. Go Lincoln Free Walking Tours!!
Tomlinson
What a super tour on a summer Tuesday evening. 2hrs of interesting and unusual facts and things that you would usually just walk by without noticing. Well researched with visuals to help the understanding of old Lincoln. Brant was friendly and encouraged questions and dialogue. Thanks for making our trip to Lincoln special.
