    Incredibly informative tour guide Dee with plenty of enthusiasm and humour! Due to heavy rain towards the end (out with her control) we had to have the shorter explanations but this only means our appetites have been whetted and we need to return to the city. Dee is obviously very proud of her home town and this is why she is in the best job :-)

    We have been friends for 20+ years and our annual gathering this year from around the country was Birmingham. A private walking tour seemed to be the perfect way to get a little under the skin of this city. Dee, our guide was awesome. She became one of our team and really entered into the spirit and the fun of our outing. She was so knowledgable and enriched and enlivened the city experience for us. And yes, we did take up her recommendation for a drink that evening at ‘The Old Joint Stock Pub’. What an amazing day out. Thanks Dee!

    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.
