Duncan was an excellent guide very informative and learnt a lot in the 2 hours tour. Hope to see the Air Shelter become part of the IWM but was great to see the shelter largely untouched for 80 years with original signage and posters still on the walls. I hIghly recommend this tour

Saturday 22nd April Duncan took us 5 ladies for a tour of the old city with the added bonus of information about all the graffitti (and a bit about tagging too) we passed en route. Duncan was very knowledgeable, informative, interesting and personable and I highly recommend him as a tour guide. We discovered previously unknown alleyways and were shown where Edward Colston is buried. Thank you Duncan, we had a ball!You will never consider a city to be interesting if you don't know much about her cultures and history! Before the trip, I think Bristol is a boring city.

You will never consider a city to be interesting if you don't know much about her cultures and history! Before the trip, I think Bristol is a boring city. After the trip, it's an amazing city! I can't wait to invite my friends to come to Bristol and show them around! Thanks to the professional and humorous tour guide Duncan, who brought us a lot of fun and joy this afternoon!This was a fascinating tour. Duncan is friendly & knowledgeable about the history of Bristol going Back 1,000 years. It’s also good to go to the places not generally seen by the public. Well worth £11.
