    Our extremely knowledgeable guide talked us through the founding of Southampton up to modern times. A great way to get introduced to the area She was not afraid to tell the true history ending on high note with the story of William Bell, a Southampton local who tragically lost his life on the Titanic. His heroism was repaid by a man he saved. Take the tour to find out what happened!

    Put on your walking shoes and get ready for a trip back in history throughout Southampton. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate with her content. She shared folklore along with historical events. This was the perfect day after disembarking from our cruise. I highly recommend spending a day with Lillian in Southampton.
