An extremely informative tour of Winchester given by Lilian. I was taken to places I would never have found myself - for instance, the house where Jane Austen died. Taking a guide is definitely the best way to discover a new town.

Had we NOT booked with Lily we would have missed so much of Winchester entirely. She is very bright, is enthused to share her love and respect for the city, and shared places that we never would have found on our own. We would heartedly suggest booking with her. It made all the difference for us.

Lilian was phenomenal from start to finish. A fountain of knowledge. The best guide I have ever had. She gave us so many interesting and detailed explanations of every place. Her in depth knowledge and passion for history stand out straight away. She was attentive and caring and answered every question we asked her. Energetic, charismatic, charming and passionate best describe her guided tours. A real pleasure to have experienced her tour. Highly recommended!!

Our guide Lilly was amazing and passionate ❤️ She has a PHD so she really knew her stuff! I highly recommend this tour ask for Lilly if possible

This was a wonderful private tour! Dr. Lilly Cespedes gave us a fascinating look at Winchester's early history. The weather was horrible, but it did not deter her or us. This tour is well worth going on. I would love to do another tour with her.

This was the most wonderful tour! To have the opportunity to tour with just your group…in our case just two people….was priceless. She was so full of knowledge that it was fascinating! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Winchester has such a long wonderful history. Enjoy it on this tour and you will learn while having a great visit.

Unfortunately, we’ve had a really bad experience with this company. I booked a tour in March for when my family was visiting in mid-May. Given how long ago we booked, I messaged the company four days ago to find out whether or not everything was still going ahead. After initially swift responses by the company in March, there was complete radio silence for the last four days. Even with three individual follow ups, I heard nothing back. I called on Friday twice only for it to go to voicemail. I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant with a poorly back so I needed to be certain of plans before doing a two-hour car journey leaving in the early morning the following day. After a few failed attempts to reach them and speaking to Viator, I got a text message that the company hasn’t had any internet and that I’ll receive a confirmation in the evening. At 10pm, I had to follow up to find out if the tour was still going ahead for the next morning. I then received pretty aggressive and unreasonable text messages from the company saying I’ll receive a confirmation “in due course”. At 11pm, they cancelled my tour for the next morning because I dared to ask for some clearer communication and instructions for where and how to meet the tour guide the following morning when I could have been asleep hours ago. Petty, unreasonable and entitled. Given how many other tour operators there are in the country who are great at communicating, have reasonable staff and access to internet (in 2024) - I’d suggest you look elsewhere for booking your tours.

Lili was amazing, she is very well informed and showed us the best spots, she also is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend her tour !

This walking tour was really informative and a great way to see the key areas of the city. Lilly is so knowledgeable and shared loads of interesting historical facts and stories with us - we absolutely loved it!

Just brilliant. Lillian was utterly engaging throughout. Immense depth of knowledge- fielded all our ad hoc questions with ease. Truly passionate about the history and community of the area. The tour was fascinating. I highly highly recommend this tour and Lillian’s expertise and general enthusiasm if you’re in the Winchester area.

Excellent guided tour. Lille the guide was excellent giving insights to all the history of the city. Thers loads of things we learnt from the trip and would fully recommend it to anyone. Lille knowledge of not just winchester but british history is second to none.

A super tour around Winchester with Lilian who was very knowledgeable. Even though I have been to a Winchester lots of times it was nice to see and hear more of its rich history.

The guide was so sweet, knowledgeable and passionate about history. My husband has some limited mobility and she adapted the tour to the two of us very well, allowing for sitting when needed etc. We saw the while beautiful city and really loved it!

Lilian was a mine of expert information and my son and I learned such lot in a short time. She was even enthusiastic when it rained throughout most of the tour! Highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Lillian is the perfect guide - my husband has difficulty walking long distances and she helped to tailor an already great tour to make it doable and enjoyable for him. She knew places along the way he could sit and rest and there were times i went with her to see a particular detailed ruin by ourselves. It worked out very well. As others have said she is so knowledgeable that we could have talked for hours about the history of the area and it was a wonderful day. She also recommended we go to evensong at the Cathedral which was wonderful. I highly recommend her. Thank you Lillian for a wonderful day in Winchester.
