Free walking tours in Sheffield

Law and order wouldn't be my normal focus on a tour, but it's always good to do something different and Kevin's first-hand knowledge and interest made this an interesting and unusual tour.

Such an informative tour capturing the history of Sheffield that I didn't even know existed and relaying is in such a great way

Had a lovely walk with Kevin. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city. Telling us stories about the gangs, crimes en intresting facts about building and the streets. Thank you for the tour. Would recommend 👌

Kevin is very friendly, informative and approachable. The tour is mainly about crime and the gang wars but with other interesting information given along the way. It's a leisurely walk not rushed and very worth while. I would definitely recommend!

It was easy to follow all the information shared by Kevin during the tour, some of which included some curiosities about the criminal history of Sheffield apart from the essential tourist attractions!

Kevin was a brilliant tour guide, so knowledgeable and had some great personal stories to add to the mix. A great couple of hours learning about history and gang wars, which I knew nothing about. Was a great way to get a different perspective of the city. Highly recommend a tour with Kevin ☺️

I guess every city has its dark periods....it was interesting to hear about the criminals and how human nature works....with kevin having been a police officer he would have first hand experience about law breakers which would prove to be important in relating to Sheffield's dark history!.... would definitely recommend this tour

not your average walking tour! very informative and knowledgable about historic gangs and police incidents in Sheffield. The tales were interwoven and told very well. The scenes were set well and were interesting. Kevins passion for his previous job and his city were evident. would recommend for anyone with an interest in historic crime. thank you

Amazing, we have lived here for so long yet Kevin showed us things that we didn't even know were there, we probably walked past 100 times without realising. His knowledge of Sheffield was outstanding and he was able to impart this in an easy to understand, informative way. The size of the group (5) made it informal and enabled people to ask questions en route, We would recommend this trip.

Really enjoyed our walking tour today with Kevin…. Found it very interesting and it gave you a sense of what Sheffield was like at different times in its history ……

It was as advertised.

Kevin's tour was very well delivered, with great confidence and a real passion for his home City, I would recommend anyone that likes to get below the veneer of an unknown City takes this tour. Kevin made us feel welcome and we really enjoyed his telling of a great story.

Nice tour if you have a particular interest in Sheffield’s broad general history and gangland scene. No real mention of Sheffield’s steel history, but in fairness, there are other tours that cover that part of the City’s history.

So fun and engaging! Highly recommend

Kevin was very knowledgeable and explained some very interesting history about the gang wars in Sheffield. Would recommend! Thanks.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Very informative and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Kevin was very knowledgeable about the more gruesome aspects of Sheffield's history from Tudor times to the 1960s! A thoroughly enjoyable introduction to Sheffield.

Kevins walking tour is excellent and so informative I've lived and worked in Sheffield for 30 years as an outreach worker for the Probation Service plus ex Greater Manchester Police thing Kevin showeduswhwte so amazing thank you 😊

Highly recommend this tour! It was very informative and highly engaging. You get to really dive deep into Sheffield's crime histories which are very fascinating. Thanks Kevin for the 5 star tour.

We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children. Kevin is a great guide and story teller. His tour offers a history of the city largely through the lens of the criminal underworld. Kevin's knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject shines through. We enjoyed the tales of the murky goings on.

Excellent tour. Kevin is very wise on Sheffield history and is passionate about the stories he talks about. Would recommend this tour to any local or tourist visiting.
