Interesting tour of central Birmingham. Very well conducted
Great tour by Kevin. Walk is the right length of time. Lots of interesting facts I didnβt know about Birmingham. Kevin is a lovely friendly guide. Iβd highly recommend one of his walks!
Really learnt a lot about my home town and all the streets we walk through regularly without knowing their history. Our host was friendly and ready with extra bits of information
Informative and interesting guided walk. Will certainly book another tour
The social history was fascinating. I'd took the street names for granted. I'll be conscious of names now. Good size of group.
Very informative and fascinating.
Excellent and interesting tour. Kevin is a very informative and engaging tour guide.
Entertaining and informative as always.
Kevin was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. He used a mic pack which meant he could be easily heard. I learnt so much about Birmingham that I did not know already and I have lived here all my life ! The walk was just long enough and Kevin was able to share photos and artefacts with us. It was a very enjoyable experience on a chilly February morning. Thank you Kevin.
Really enjoyed the walk. Have always lived in Birmingham, mostly close to the city centre but realise how little I know about my home town. Looking forward to another walk
Kevin is a very engaging and informative guide. It really brings the history of the people, streets, trades and industries of Birmingham to life.
I have been on several of kevins walking tours and always enjoy them. Interesting and enjoyable !
Kevin is informative and entertaining. He is mindful of the group and moves at a good pace. Even horrible rain couldn't spoil the experience!
Really interesting tour, lots of new information about the history of Birmingham. I definitely want to go back and do another one.
