Birmingham Town Hall Tickets and Tours

Private Birmingham City Walking Tour

Brough Brum to life!

This was 90 minutes really well spent for our family group of 7. Arthur, our guide, brought the centre of Brum to life with his enthusiastic, well-informed and often amusing narration of our 90 minute stroll from Cathedral Square to Symphony Hall. We heard about many of Birmingham's great characters and the antics they got up to. We had details of buildings pointed out that we would never have otherwise spotted. And we were left with a nice sense of the evolution of the city over the past 300 years. I grew up in Brum but left home in the 1970s and haven't visited the city centre for many years. After 90 minutes with Arthur it felt completely like home again.

Private Birmingham Ghosts and Gallows Walking Tour

Great Ghost Tour, with memorable historic tales

Peter was our guide & was excellent, he kept the group engaged for the full hour and a half, delivering the right amount of information about historic events and delivering it with wit in the right places. Detailing notorious Birmingham gang shoot outs, to the unknown secrets of New Street Station and what ghost lurks the platforms… There were some mentions too of Birmingham’s links to famous faces such as Charles Dickens, to how Birmingham provided inspiration for the Sherlock Holmes books. As the tour is the Gallows and Ghosts Halloween tour, the subject does touch on public hangings, but it really isn’t particularly graphic or gruesome, but more historic. The period covered spans mainly between the early 19th Century to the early 20th century. We were part of small group of about 15 people, so the guide could speak to us closely and with ease. Great for if you’re interested in ‘dark tourism’ and the history of crime & punishment, with a few ghost tales added in. We went on the first weekend of November and the Birmingham Christmas market had started; it was very pretty seeing the lights. The tour met at Birmingham Snow Hill Station, and we finished outside the Symphony Hall. Even if you think you know Birmingham’s history well, you’re sure to learn something extra on this tour. I went with a work colleague (and we ourselves are tour guides in the dark tourism sector) and recommend this tour. We both really enjoyed our evening out and it inspired us to learn more about Birmingham’s dark history/ go on other Walking Tour Events.
