Guided Tours

From guided walks through Britain’s First City, Colchester, to free tours through historic Harwich, and private houses – Essex has plenty to keep you entertained, enthralled and informed.

Walking through Colchester is a walk through 2000 years of Britain’s eventful past. If history is your thing then it’s easy to discover the people, places and finds which make Colchester the place it is today.

Learn more about Harwich and this traditional historic maritime town which has a fascinating history. It is probably best known for being the home of Christopher Jones, Captain of the Mayflower, who in 1620 took the first pilgrims to America. This year (2020) is the 400th anniversary of this incredible journey. Embark on the Mayflower 400 Trail and discover the exciting stories that link the port to one of the most significant voyages in history.
