Clifton Suspension Bridge Underground Lantern Tour

Really enjoyed the tour and the info…. Two lovely hosts who really made it work.

Great fun and really interesting with a bit of excitement too. What more could you ask?!

Really interesting!!

Thanks

This was educational fun on a Bristol landmark that showed we are right to be proud of it. I learned a lot and the vaults are a HUGE surprise - in every aspect. Well worth the time to visit.

Very interesting to learn and see local attraction

Combined it with a visit to The Giant's Cave on the other side of the gorge. A great afternoon, with a couple of pints too, to round it off

Absolutely amazing! The length of the tour was fab, enough to learn a lot but not left feeling overwhelmed with information. Its a really great tour as this area of the suspension bridge hasn’t been open to the public since it was built in the Victorian era!

Laura was clearly very passionate about the suspension bridge and knew all of the history + fun facts! Great to be able to ask questions. So interesting and also truly amazing! Thanks so much

An experience not to be missed if your able to partake

Interesting and informative.

I found the lantern tour a thoroughly enjoyable and informative "about the history of Bristol" experience. Laura is a gifted host, lively in bringing the story of the Clifton Suspension Bridge to life.
Pre-tour information has to be explicit about the terrain and the ladder and low corridor at the entrance to the vaults. This is far less daunting than it has to sound.

Very informative

This was a really informative and interesting tour of the vaults underneath the suspension bridge! Would recommend it to Bristolians and visitors alike! Our great guide was really lovely!

Pretty fascinating stuff, excellent guide, and who doesn't love a good vault? Really enjoyed it!

Excellent experience. Very informative tour guide and fun to do with family.

Fabulous experience, our host Laura was exceptional! So knowledgeable, caring and fun. Would recommend this for 7 years and above. I learned so much.

Excellent tour filled with great information about the history of the bridge and of course the excitement of going into the foundation with lanterns!

Really interesting visit - learned a lot from excellent guides.

A unique opportunity to see a part of Bristol's most iconic landmark that's totally hidden away. A well organised tour with guides who speak clearly and know their stuff. Just the right length of time. Ideal for fans of Bristol's history, engineering and architecture.

It's a special space to be in - thanks for the tour!

Very friendly and informative hosts (Jed & Pippa). Fascinating.

It's an extraordinary experience. The guides knowledgeable and enthusiasm enhanced the tour. Don't be scared by the ladder in and out. What you get to see is breathtaking. Particularly liked the lights-out moment.

Very interesting, informative and fun!

Fantastic and rare opportunity to see inside the iconic Clifton suspension bridge foundations. A great history lesson in a fun environment.

Very interesting and informative.

Fascinating and our guide was enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Laura was fantastic. Incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Fascinating and really excellent tour guide!

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour!

Amazing

A very interesting look inside the vaults hidden beneath the suspension bridge. Using lanterns added to the atmosphere

Really interesting and the hosts were really friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Amazing experience to see the inside of the bridge - especially knowing it's only been rediscovered in 2022 after over 100 years of it being sealed. Our host Laura was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic - loved her! Would love to see more of the vaults when they are open to the public. Highly recommend!

It was amazing

Great to see inside the bridge foundations. It host was informative and entertaining. The evening tour is very atmospheric. A slightly later your would be helpful for people attending after work!

Laura was a great host, really informative and we had a great time.

The lamp lights were great and felt like we had two experiences in one as we got to experiences in near darkness and then with the lights on.

Would recommend!

Laura was a brilliant tour guide! Her enthusiasm about the Bridge and the history makes the tour really engaging. The tour was well organised and everything went very smoothly.

A really unique evening, getting to see a side of the bridge very few have seen! A really magical way of presenting it, with a fun and informative host

Amazing tour and very insightful

We loved our lamplight tour of the vaults! Our hosts were friendly and knowledgeable and were happy to answer our questions. We had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the atmosphere in the vaults. Our hosts also gave an excellent demonstration of how sound echoes through the space as well which was really interesting.

I’d been a little nervous of what the ladder would be like but luckily it was actually quite small so it was a breeze getting down to the entrance!

Highly recommended :)

A great tour of the vaults with professional, informative and knowledgeable guides who brought the vaults to life with interesting facts and stories. Highly recommended, not just for engineers.
