Steve is very knowledgeable about Portsmouth, the walk allowed us to get our bearings of the area, where things were and also a glimpse of into the past. The walk was a steady pace and we were out for about 90 minutes (it felt less as Steve was providing lots of interesting facts throughout). Definitely one to recommend, and a percentage of your ‘tip’ is donated to Cancer Research. Well done Steve!!

Enjoyable way to get to know more about Portsmouth. Steve is a fantastic guide, obviously loves what he does, especially since all of his guide fees are donated to charity! Incredibly knowledgeable about it Portsmouth and obviously loves his city. There was no question he couldn’t answer and he found a way to individually engage every member of the tour! Highly recommend!

Wonderful walking tour of Portsmouth! It was really nice to be walked around and told many interesting naval facts, especially the history of common sayings we still use today and don’t realize had a connection to the Royal Navy or the past residents of Portsmouth.
Our starting point of this unique part of British naval history.
