A private, expert-led walk through Rye's cobbled medieval streets, timbered houses, and smugglers' history with a local historian. Intimate, unhurried, and rich in storytelling.
What to expect
You'll meander through Mermaid Street and the Citadel with a guide who knows every doorway's backstory. Expect quiet moments in hidden courtyards, tales of 18th-century smugglers, and a stop at a historic inn for context. The pace is leisurely, built around your questions and curiosity. It ends near the town centre, perfectly timed for onward exploration or a leisurely lunch.
Good to know
Book at least 48 hours ahead for private slots; meet at the Heritage Centre. Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones. Allow buffer time to return to the ship, as the old town is a short taxi ride from the pier.
