Our guide was Tobias, and he was fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, considerate and funny! The pace of walking was a little bit fast for my mum (69) but other than that, we had an amazing time! Great value for money and discovered some gems of places to visit in Bristol too! 10/10 would recommend!!
