Overview

Walking around a city, whilst listening to a tour guide, is a perfect form of exercise. 1000 years of Trade and Industry made Bristol the UK’s second city.
See the Cathedral, Banksy’s, Harbour, Docks, Georgian Square, Old Vic, ‘Bridge’, Castle site, Old City, corn exchange, markets, Guilds, Street Art, and Sugar House.

We take a maximum of six people on our walk. Enjoy a 2-hour guided walk, circa 12,000 steps and 3-4 miles long, listening to interesting facts, colourful characters, history and anecdotes on the way.
Each person has an audio receiver so they can here the guide above all the city noise.

Join your guide, who having moved to Bristol in 1980, attended Bristol Poly (UWE), has lived, played rugby, worked off and on in the city for 40 years. He is continually researching the city as a hobby and wants to give something back to the place he adores.

The style is interactive, flexible, light-hearted and personal. Nature breaks are limited, so please plan ahead.

We were a group of 8, 7 of which live in Bristol and an American visiting for the first time. My god did we learn so much about our City, an absolute treat from a superb guide that was infectious with his knowledge. The pubs stops were an added bonus and our American was completely blown away with the history. Fantastic walk

Mike is so knowledgeable about all the street art, buildings and history of Bristol. Leant some good diners, restaurants and drinks in Bristol from him. Definitely one of the best I have ever met.

Myself, my husband and our 10 week old son took a trip to Bristol for a little trip. Not having been to Bristol before, we wanted to learn more about the history of the city. Totally recommend this tour!! We walked around the old city centre and harbour areas with our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to be flexible around our son as needed. We were lucky in that we were the only ones booked on the tour for a Monday afternoon, so we had our own private tour! 5 stars for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In depth knowledge that Mike has of the Old Town is amazing. His memory for dates, places and names makes the stories he tells come alive.
