A great way to connect with a love of history and the city
638chrissyq, Mar 2025
From the start Duncan's friendly and energetic enthusiasm for his subject was very engaging. The venues were interesting and evocative. It gave me so much to think about. not only what it must have been like to crouch terrified in an air raid shelter but also the local human stories related to this part of Bristol and its history. This collection and this man's enthusiasm must be supported and encouraged. Surely collaborations are possible to create a significant permanent visitor attraction and centre in this building. Fun to get behind the scenes of buildings I have looked at all my life. Many thanks

Duncan was entertaining. Very knowledgable. Grabbed your attention. Would recommend to everyone. Part of the findings had been recently vandalised. So awful. Is there any way this can be better protected? To prevent it happening again.

My girlfriend and I had wonderful time during our visit to Bristol. Was great to familiarise ourselves with some of the local history of the city. Our guide Duncan was by far the biggest selling point of all. He carried out the tour with an incredibly fun degree of enthusiasm and was clearly passionate about the history he was kind enough to share with us. We wish you all the best and look forward to visiting the tour again as it grows!
