Guided Walking Tour of Bristol Old City and Harbour
Guided Walking Tour of Bristol Old City and Harbour
Walking around a city, whilst listening to a tour guide, is a perfect form of exercise. 1000 years of Trade and Industry made Bristol the UK’s second city. See the Cathedral, Banksy’s, Harbour, Docks, Georgian Square, Old Vic, ‘Bridge’, Castle site, Old City, corn exchange, markets, Guilds, Street Art, and Sugar House.We take a maximum of six people on our walk.
Enjoy a 2-hour guided walk, circa 12,000 steps and 3-4 miles long, listening to interesting facts, colourful characters, history and anecdotes on the way.Each person has an audio receiver so they can here the guide above all the city noise.Join your guide, who having moved to Bristol in 1980, attended Bristol Poly (UWE), has lived, played rugby, worked off and on in the city for 40 years. He is continually researching the city as a hobby and wants to give something back to the place he adores.The style is interactive, flexible, light-hearted and personal. Nature breaks are limited, so please plan ahead.
