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 informative and entertaining. He is mindful of the group and moves at a good pace. Even horrible rain couldn't spoil the experience!
