Fantastic tour of the city with great local knowledge and attention to detail
Our third walk with Kevin in my home city have yet to complete one without discovering some hitherto unknown nuggets of lore, recommended.
Fascinating stories recounted with humour and enthusiasm. Kevin is a terrific guide.
Entertaining and informative, always learning something new
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk around Birmingham and Kevin the tour leader explained things in a clear and concise way. He kept our attention at all times, and didn’t waffle on as some tour guides do. His use of props was particularly good and his local knowledge is second to none. We saw parts of Birmingham we had never seen before and look forward to joining another tour very soon.
Another excellent walking tour, excellent value, informative and great tour guide, My second tour with Kevin, can't wait for the next,
Kevin was an excellent guide. Using a microphone meant that all the group could hear the stories of real Birmingham folk, and the facts about the architecture - even when we were stood by one of the main roads - location of the last public hanging in Birmingham. Learned a lot about the history of the city and saw the beauty in buildings I've never noticed before. We're certainly looking to join another of Kevin's tours in the future.
Excellent tour, will definitely book other ones
Brilliant walking tour, showing areas of Birmingham I was not aware of. Kevin was a brilliant guide, friendly and a fountain of knowledge. Would definitely recommend.
A very interesting and fun tour of Birmingham City Centre. A great way to spend a Saturday morning. Our host had many anecdotal tales to tell us along the easy going 2 mile circular walk through the streets of Birmingham, with frequent stops to look at sites of interest.
Very knowledgeable walk leader and just the right amount of information
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Kevin. The walk was informative, interesting and fun and our host had a sound knowledge of Birmingham and its history. His research into the facts was exemplary and we learned a lot of new information about our home city.
The tour was fascinating and we learnt so much about our home city! Kevin was very knowledgeable and we will definitely be back for another of his tours!
A really interesting guided walk with an excellent, knowledgeable and articulate host. A tour that encourages you to look at Birmingham with fresh eyes.
Kevin is a great guide, with huge knowledge about the subject. He is able to easily blend history with anecdotes, making for a very enjoyable experience.
Well organised with good preparation. Lots of Interesting information .. I’ll look forward to the next one.
Very pleasant nice guide kept us entertained with his great knowledge of the subject. It was a very informative hour and a half. We felt, we had learned a great deal about our city from him. Bring on the next one!
Would definitely recommend this and would love to do another of Kevin’s tours.
So interesting about buildings we've known all our life but never looked at them properly. Can wait to do another!
Great story telling and enthusiasm made it a great tour, learning more about my home town and places I have walked past without any knowledge of historic interest, will definitely be booking others..
This tour was well up to Kevin’s high standard. Professional, friendly, informative and fun.
Amazing walking tour with Kevin. Great host and interesting walk. Recommended!
A fascinating afternoon with our guide Kevin who took us around the Colmore estate and the surrounding area. We learned about the suffragette movement in Birmingham, the Victorian hospitals and the last public hanging in the city. A very enjoyable experience and would recommend.
