Tour description
Bristol is one of Britain's most independent-minded and creative cities, a historic harbour that launched explorers, engineers and a global street-art movement. On this walking tour a local guide weaves together the city's seafaring past, its role in confronting difficult history, and its vibrant, rebellious present.
You will explore the lively harbourside, marvel at the engineering genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and hunt for the murals that made Bristol the home of Banksy. Colourful, characterful and proudly alternative, Bristol is a city that rewards those who explore on foot.
