Brian O.

Barb M.

Testimonial AV

“… a charming and informative raconteur.”

Ashley V.

Testimonial MW

“Bill takes the time to see both sides of the history he writes about. With his hands-on, action-based approach, he is able to write in many formats — sometimes personal, sometimes objective and fact-based, but nonetheless entertaining and educational. Bill shows his true love of local history by walking you through the stories, not just telling you where to get a map!”

Mary W.

Testimonial SM

“Bill King is a local treasure. He has tirelessly led Downtown Hamilton Walking Tours . The walks are not only educational, but fun, reflecting Bill’s quirky sense of humour and rich understanding of Hamilton’s history, often through an architectural context. My favourite book of Bill’s is Hamilton’s Stone Age …. I can’t wait to get my hands on his next book, Hamilton: Weird & Wonderful.”

Susan M.
