Great walking tour presented with knowledge and humour

Arthur was a brilliant guide. He had an excellent knowledge and great sense of humour. It was evident everyone in our group thought similarly. Highly recommend.
Fun with a local

I had a great tour guide though I don´t remember her name. Very knowledgable and with alot of fun local facts. The walk was long enough to cover the most important points and was very good.
Definitely recommend!!!

What a wonderful way to explore a little bit of Birmingham; and great that this Tour operates throughout the week/year. An hour and a half of facts, paces of interest and stories that bring Birmingham to life. An absolute must for visitors new to the City. It gives you a very good starting point to the places to visit and the things to see. There’s sooooo much more to Birmingham than the Bull Ring. Thank you Dee for a marvellous morning!!!
The way to see Brum

Hannah was brilliant. She knew her history inside out and was really engaging. Learnt how Brum has changed over the decades which was really interesting. Most of all she was a very proud Brummie.
