I Went on a guided walking tour of Whitby with Nick for 2 hours with my wife.  As a couple living in Europe for the past 5 years we've been on too many walking tours to count (probably over 30). This experience easily sits in our top 3. Nick was personable, authentic, and full of knowledge. It added so much perspective to our trip and experience of Whitby.
