Birmingham Bricks and Bulls Self Guided Tour with App

Stroll through Birmingham

It was lovely to walk Birmingham like a bit of a local. But because I changed the order, it was a bit more exhausting then to just click on the next button. Nonetheless great tour with a lot of interesting facts and sights

Ida B Wells a Passion for Justice

Book this tour, highly recommended!

This tour was so interesting and meaningful to me! My guide Marcia took me on a walk through Edgebaston and shared insights on the life of Ida B Wells, an African American woman who lived in the neighborhood and worked for the equality of Black people. While walking through the neighborhood, Marcia showed me the houses of the Cadbury brothers, Joseph Sturge and others ans explained their connections to the British Empire - some of them being “talkers”, and others being “walkers”. Marcia will explain the difference on her tour. :) Thank you for this experience, your expertise and time, Marcia!

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.
