What makes this tour special

Discover the multicultural city of Bristol in the South West of England, rich in maritime history, beautiful medieval and Georgian architecture as well as contemporary culture and street art by Banksy whose home town it is! 

On your private tour, you will:


Bristol is a thriving contemporary city with a unique creative identity and a rich maritime heritage that blend together seamlessly, as you’ll discover on your private guided tour. As the gateway to the beautiful coastal counties of Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall in the South West of England, it is a popular place to live for many working professionals. 

Bristol has a really creative atmosphere – and is the home of many bands and musicians, including Portishead and Massive Attack. It also spawned Banksy and the global eruption of the street art movement, and has a veritable cornucopia of architectural styles from medieval gothic spires, to elegant Georgian Terraces and the impressive Clifton Suspension Bridge. Most recently, Bristol has made global headlines with the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. 

On your privately guided walking tour, you will explore the historic centre, the old harbour, the elegant Corn Street and the Exchange, which retains its mercantile buzz, and learn about the maritime trade and industry of the city - and see how the old warehouses have now been converted into amazing artisanal workshops, boutiques and bars. 

Admire the Gothic Bristol Cathedral and ruins of the Norman castle, contrasted with the buzz of this very modern city. 

Walk down Nelson Street, the creative home of Bristol’s bold, colourful street art. Banksy is Bristol's most famous muralist, yet the transformation of the drab 1960s grey frontings to the city’s beating artsy heart owes much to a dozen or so cutting-edge graffiti maestros. 

There are loads of Banksy’s in Bristol – and you’ll see many of them, including the famous ‘Well Hung Lover’ before ending your tour!
