Such a great tour!!! Carlos told us the history of Birmingham and took us on a delightful walking tour. He was a super nice person and a wonderful guide. I came away having a new appreciation for Birmingham and it’s importance in the history of England .. it’s a severely underrated city to visit.

Pete our guide was very informative and friendly with a vast knowledge about Birmingham. The walk took us right around the main part of the city but he recommended other places to visit

Carlos, our guide was very knowledgeable about Birmingham and the history of Birmingham. We were a mixed group of 7 and the tour was around 1,5 hours. Carlos showed us the highlights of Birmingham center and gave us a condensed history of its past and greatest times. We can recommend this walking tour to anyone wanting to know a bit more about Birmingham and see how the city centre has evolved.

Were really looking forward to this walk, went on a previous one and it was brilliant! Was our wedding anniversary so booked the walk especially, as we don’t live in Birmingham also booked overnight accommodation. We had an email the day before at 10am saying don’t forget your booked walk followed by at 10 03am an email to say it had been cancelled. We were very disappointed as was looking forward to the walk and also left us with accommodation we had to pay for as couldn’t cancel so late in the day. Dosent encourage us to book another walk as feel let down at the last minute and left with accommodation we didn’t really need!
