Some comments people have said about the tour:


“thank you for a great day out. Really enjoyed the interesting talks on all the places visited. We are local to many of the sites visited, but learned much more”


“Well done to all involved”


“I was on the bus tour yesterday with my 10 year old grand daughter. We had a fantastic day out, made all the better for Andy's in depth knowledge of the area. I have lived in Nottingham for all of my 72 years and didn't know half the information he knew. We really enjoyed it…”


“We had a super time! Can definitely recommend.” - Experience Nottinghamshire via facebook.


"Many thanks for a really enjoyable day. The itinerary was generous with plenty if time to explore four of the most interesting locations in the county. The on-board commentary was entertaining and authoritative. Andy is a mine of information with regard to Sherwood Forest and environs and Peter's skill behind the wheel was complemented by his infectious enthusiasm. Congratulations to Sherwood Forest Tours and Mercian Archaeological Services on an outstanding 'inaugural flight'. I hope there are many more."
