What makes this tour special

Immerse yourself in Birmingham's history and learn how the city grew from a market town to the second-largest city in the UK through the centuries. Home to Cadbury chocolate and iconic canals throughout the city, Birmingham is an exciting, full-of-life destination,  just an hour away by train from London.

On your private highlights tour, you will:


Birmingham remains one of the largest industrial cities in the UK and it's known as the ‘City of a Thousand Trades’ as it was the world’s first manufacturing town, but it's also famous for its rich cultural heritage, from legendary rock music to a rich food & cuisine scene.

It is also home to Cadbury, a British loved chocolate brand that originated in the streets of Birmingham, founded by John Cadbury in 1824, and in 1990 it opened its doors to Cadbury World where visitors can see how their favourite chocolate is made.

Birmingham became also a popular destination after the show Peaky Blinders aired, as it told the story of a 20th-century local gang that operated on the streets of the city putting it under the spotlight for the first time.
