Despite awful weather, we had a fabulous interesting, informative and amusing guided tour with Bryan. Without exception, we all came away having really enjoyed Bryan's talk, and he brought Southampton's maritime past to life. Truly fascinating, thank you Bryan!

This was an excellent, informative, and entertaining tour. The tour guide Brian kept the pace appropriate and the commentary was geared toward the participants. Very personable and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend the tour.

The tour breaths life into Southampton, and and gave us a renewed appreciation for the historical value of the city.

Was a pleasant day and we were lucky with the weather. Brian was very knowledgable of his history in the local area. Some very interesting stories and locations. Of no fault of the tour host, it’s a shame that you cannot stand at the docks the Titanic departed from before its demise. If I had time I think it would be good to combine with the museum.

Definitely worth doing if you're in the area, full of facts, figures and history. Fascinating viewing buildings related to Titanic. Guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

My cousins and partners joined Brian on his Walk the Secrets of the Titanic in Southampton. They loved the tour and Brian's enthusiasm. He not only talked about the hidden sides of the Titanic disaster but also showed them other important historic monuments and buildings in Southampton.

A lovely way to spend the afternoon with some great people and of course our entertaining and informative guide Bryan. Poignant reminder of the sad events surrounding the titanic and their impact on the people of Southampton Thanks Bryan for pointing out that our cruise ship left the exact spot the titanic sailed from, glad we didn’t know this before we sailed...... Would definitely recommend this tour.

Bryan took my family of four on a private tour in Southampton before we started our Isle of Wight holiday. It was great fun and he was very patient with our Titanic-mad 10 year old (and grumpy 7 year old)! We enjoyed it very much and would recommend it as a good intro to Southampton's Titanic past (plus it was good introduction for us to the middle of Southampton itself). Thanks Bryan - maybe we'll see you in Winchester next time.
