Will is very personal. He told excellent stories of the history of Falmouth and played jaunty songs as we walked around. We loved the music! Recommend highly.

Will was the friendliest and most knowledgable guide. The tour took us through some back streets of Falmouth where Will retold the history of this Cornish town, regaled tales of long ago and gave us a snap shot in history, with visuals and accompanied by his lively accordion playing!
Entertaining, informative, helpful, funny and generally a very nice guy!
Totally recommend joining this merry group.
