Informative and fun tour - The tour guide Luke was so knowledgeable and he made everyone in the group welcome. He kept us all entertained and the route was not too taxing but went all round central Bristol. Excellent.

Highly recommend this tour - Excellent tour with Luke who was extremely knowledgable, engaging and inclusive eg checking politely that people could manage steps etc. The pace was great with plenty of stops where we listened to Luke’s informative commentary delivered with sufficient volume when he spoke to the group of 22 pointing out buildings, statues, pubs, streets , artworks, and others things of interest such as the Nails outside the market and we could always ask questions. We covered a lot of ground literally and in terms of a potted history of the city and its copious street art including Banksy and several other artists . Highly recommend this tour.

A great introduction to Bristol’s art and history. - A really interesting and entertaining introduction to Bristol. The walk covers history, art and local insights that you would never discover on your own. Our walk took place in wind and rain and it was still enjoyable!

Highly recommended walking tour with an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. - An excellent walking tour through the centre of Bristol uncovering treasures of all sorts in a captivating two hours. Our guide, Luke, was very knowledgable and easy to listen to, with just the right amount of information tailored to suit the group and delivered with passion and gentle good humour. Even the damp weather didn't detract from the experience. If you're visiting Bristol, this is a perfect way to get to know the city and some of its fascinating history. Highly recommended.

Bringing Bristol to Life with 'State of the Art' that is Bristol.... - A brilliant, engaging, informative walking tour with Luke! Great value for money. Time well spent, listening to stories, interacting and seeing art work and so much covered, politics, religion - he even weaved in the cities that we came from into the tour. I can't recommended it highly enough. Our group were gripped all the way through and he was attentive, checked in that we were all okay and was so knowledgeable. It was a delight, honestly. Upbeat atmosphere, even in cold weather. You could tell he genuinely loved his subject. There was only 3 solo female travellers so 4 people all together but that wasnn't an issue at all. Small group just meant more care and attention. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Bristol. Thanks again Luke, you were fab :)

Good overview - My daughter and I were in Bristol for a day and wanted to learn a bit about the place. This was an informative tour of Bristol with our favorite tour guide Owen. Good introduction to the city and some of its history as well as a look at some of the street art that seems to be everywhere. If only you could stop the rain it would be perfect…
