  • Listen for underground rivers and bizarre echoes
  • See the best street art Bristol has to offer
Full description
Uncover Bristol's historic downtown area on a two-hour tour with an expert guide. Begin your tour outside Bristol Cathedral on College Green, an imposing medieval church built in the 12th century. As you walk through the downtown core, hear about the origins of the city, where it first started, and its medieval center. You'll then continue on to the Norman castle site, situated strategically between the River Avon and River Frome. See evidence of blitz damage, perpetrated by the Nazis against Bristol during the Second World War.  Throughout, you'll learn about Banksy, Brunel, Blackbeard, and many other of Bristol's famous residents (whose names may or may not start with a B). Hear bizarre echoes and finally finish on Bristol's historic harborside after seeing the smallest, largest, and most beautiful pieces of street art in the city.

Absolutely brilliant tour, could not recommend it enough. It was the first time we’d ever taken a walking guide and were a bit apprehensive before going - but even if you don’t think it’s your cup of tea, you should definitely try it out. Simon was full of knowledge and absolutely hilarious, showing us the full range of what bristol has to offer. Can’t believe it’s so cheap for what it was ! 10/10 experience and wish we could rate it more than five stars :)

Excellent, knowledgable guide, didn't shy away from controversial topics, thoroughly enjoyed by all our group, some of whom were Bristol natives. Could have probably guessed it, but a bit long for our 8 and 5 year old, great for adults and teens though.

Luke knew a great deal about the history of street art in Bristol, including the names and politics and techniques of the more recent artists. He was entertaining. His volume carried well in our big group. He gave us the history of buildings as well as of the murals.
