Explore Bristol’s wartime air raid shelter, Old City streets, Corn Exchange music rooms, and St Nicholas Market for $16.

“Entertaining and learned a lot (and when you book tours in a town you’re familiar with, they can often be entertaining OR informative, but it takes a skilled tour guide to make them both!) Tour was just about the right length of time at 1 1/4 hours. Loved seeing the fledgling museum and hope that the city council encourages this endeavour.”

Lunch was at Spitalfields Market where I had free time. I would thoroughly recommend this company as the tour allows you to see much more. Thanks again.”
