Tour description
Bristol is one of the UK's most creative and fiercely independent cities, a historic port that has served as a launchpad for explorers, engineers, and a global street art movement. On this walking tour, a local guide will weave together the city's maritime past, its role in confronting challenging history, and its vibrant, rebellious present.
You will explore the bustling harbourside, marvel at the engineering genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and hunt for the murals that made Bristol the home of Banksy. Colourful, full of character, and proudly marching to its own beat, Bristol is a city that truly rewards those who explore it on foot.
