Johnnie brings the story to life. He is passionate about the subject and it's infectious. The story is portrayed is such a manor that you feel the anguish, pain and passion of the family. I would say that we thoroughly enjoyed the tour, however, it's more appropriate to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Johnnie re-creates the feelings of the times. This guy loves his subject and it shows. It's clear that far from being a canned performance he judges the interest and knowledge of the audience and patterns his presentation accordingly. He doesn't just know the subject, he loves the subject. His love is contagious.

I can't really add anything more that's already been said. This guided walk is fantastic. If you do the walk first then visit the museum everything there seems much more meaningful. Jonnie is a great storyteller and I cannot recommend his walk enough.

Johnny Briggs who is the man behind this show was excellent right from the start to the end. Very informative historical background to the lives of the Brontes. Johnny engages the listener with his style of story telling - excellent value for money. Thank you.

Johnnie, who runs this, is just amazing! He can tell you anything you want to know about the Brontes! This tour was more to my liking than the physical ones, as we spent most of the time in the cemetary and church because I had hurt my knee and was the only one on the tour. He really made his...

We took this tour as a last minute activity as part of a trip to Haworth, we met at the church and were immediately taken by the guides friendliness and accommodation of the group he had, including a couple of children who he engaged in a drawing activity allowing everyone else to listen to the start of the story. He... More

After hearing fellow B&B guests singing the praises of these, I decided to join one of Johnnie's guided walks. I was not disappointed. You don't actually walk very far, because you don't need to, but you do come away with a much better and deeper understanding of the Bronte family and the world in which they lived. In fact, after...

I took 12 A Level Literature students to meet Johnnie in Haworth. He provided us with a nice lunch at the Baptist Church (including great lemon cake and copious amounts of tea) before treating us with a hugely knowledgeable and incredibly fascinating talk on the Brontes and life in Haworth circa 1850. He also speaks with much awareness of how... More

Just back from a week end in Bradford. We spent the Saturday in Haworth,not too sure about what to do as the weather was so cold. we spotted a poster advertising a guided walk about "The passionate Brontes'" and decided to go along, not expecting much. My husband and I agree that it was one of the best guided tour... More
