No storm can stop these two from doing the Full City Tour on Saturday morning. Conditions were a lot different from their native California and Venezuela but they soldiered on. Good craic and a fab morning.

My habitual pre-tour coffee has to be at Chapters Durham . Can't beat having leisurely cappuccino or a swift espresso in the window seat. Amazing for food also, but don't tell the chef I said this. She'll never catch a break!

Join our History Tour, today (25th June) at 4pm.

£13 per person.
1.5 hours, 1.2 miles.
Meet at the 'Man on The Horse' in the Market Place- Look for the sign and my black umbrella.

I'm now into my fifth year of running Walkabout Durham. All the tours are researched and created by myself and, despite offering four tours, this is still my favourite one. Love delivering it each day and meeting a range of fascinating people.

A wet start to our History Tour yesterday but the sun was shining at the end. I loved the tour and thanks to all who booked. Was the busiest tour of the month so far. Summer is here.

I visited the beautiful Lichfield Cathedral last week and of course I had to pay a visit to St. Chad. Northumbrian born, he was educated under St. Aidan at Lindisfarne and eventually became the first bishop of our arch rivals, Mercia.
