Peter is incredible. Really good tour, a great mix of entertaining and educational, and just the right pace/length. Would maybe love the addition of a bit more info about modern Birmingham. What's happening here now, what matters to the locals, what are the different areas famous for now?

Excellent 1.5+ hour walking tour, and a great way to start a trip to Birmingham or fill in sometime while you are there. Our tour guide, Peter, was a Brummie himself and was knowledgeable, courteous, fun, and also thoughtful in his explanations and treatment of historical issues.
