Well worthwhile tour of old Portsmouth

Kat_Ric, Feb 2026

Thanks for a great tour of Portsmouth, we found out a great deal about the old Town, Hot Walls, Spice island. So much so that we went back on the evening to revisit some of the highlights. Steve is very knowledgeable and conducts the tour to suit the interest of the people joining. Thank you Steve

I'm really glad you enjoyed our journey and it contributed to your time here in Portsmouth.

Steve was really friendly knowledgeable and informative, he clearly enjoys what he does and donates the money he is given to Cancer research UK. Only a shame that more people weren’t with us to benefit from his knowledge and raise more money for charity today. Thanks Steve!

Great history lesson.

Daniel H, Oct 2025

Excellent learning experience and good fun. Thoroughly engaging guide (Steve) who clearly enjoys the whole history of Portsmouth and imparts many good anecdote and gem of information.

Excellent introduction to historic Portsmouth.

S7140XLmargareth, Oct 2025

We contacted Portsmouth of the Past at short notice to ask if a tour could be possible on a specific date. We had a prompt reply to confirm that if an early afternoon suited it would be possible. Steve contacted us to say where and when we should meet and sent a useful reminder on the day. It transpired that this was to be a private tour for just the 2 of us. It was very informative as well as entertaining - and we were delighted to learn that half of our donation (there is no charge for the tour - just pay what you feel is appropriate) would go to Cancer Research UK. Very highly recommended.
