Very cool to see the city with this tour. Joanne was great. Lots to see and the time seemed like a good amount.

It was a rainy and very windy day, but the tour was most informative and our guide was friendly and full of information about the city. Learned a lot, and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this if you want to have a general overview of the city. There's so much history here, and many of the landmarks still stand to this day.

We’ve visited Bristol several times before, and have done various other tours. However, we’ve particularly enjoyed this tour. Plenty of new information learned, and our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable in Bristol history, was very pleasant, answered all questions appropriately, spoke loud and clearly, and had various pictures, maps and visual aids with him to explain Bristol’s history. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Extremely knowledgeable and pleasant tour leader, learnt a tremendous amount about Bristols history - past and present. Covered a lot of ground at a leisurely pace - highly recommend. Thank you Rob.

This is an easy but very interesting and entertaining walk. Bristol is a big, beautiful, and vibrant city with lots to see and do. It is impossible to experience it all in one day. Joann, our tour guide, took us to important highlights that enabled us to get a feel for the city and all it has to offer. She provided historical information as well as humorous and interesting stories and factoids. Although this was not a Banksy tour, she pointed out locations of Banksy art for us to find on our own.

Fantastic tour! Our guide was brilliant, she told us so much about Bristol we got a great sense of the city and how it has developed over time. She was friendly and engsging, and I can't believe how much we learnt in the time.
