    Bryan was an excellent tour guide and host for our Saturday morning jaunt around 'win-Winchester'. It lasted about 1hr 45 but we were a reasonably small group of 6. He shared a lot of knowledge with good humour and banter along the way (even a little song!). Although we'd toured the Cathedral and Great Hall the previous day we got to see a lot of things we'd have missed otherwise and I would definitely recommend it to others.
