    What a great way to see Bristol. This tour was fun, informative and a brilliant way to get familiar with the city. The guide was brilliant. We really enjoyed it.

    We highly recommend this tour. Mike is a fantastic guide and host. His blend of local history and humour was highly engaging for our 14yr old as well as his middle aged father. Well worth the 5 stars!

    Really fun quest around Bristol! Got us to see some different bits of Bristol we most likely wouldn’t have gone to without the instructions. I personally loved the arts side and my partner solving the quest so it was a win win. Would definitely do one again!

    Tried paddleboarding as part of a hen weekend. I was very apprehensive as a poor/non swimmer but Alice was really encouraging and persuaded me to try it. It was a really enjoyable experience (we had great weather which helped) and Alice and Bee were there to advise, encourage and show off their yoga skills! Id definitely try it again if I visit the area.

    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!

    Bought a taster session for my birthday. Couldn’t have booked a better day weather wise and only two of us plus an instructor! Alice the instructor was great, chatty and patient with clear direction and instructions. Very safe , good fun. Well worth the price. Learnt the basics, getting on standing up, “falling in”, (only twice). A good 90 mins all the way up the harbour and back!

    My husband and I had a fantastic night out, a great show; we were entertained from start to finish. Great drinks and good food too. Would highly recommend a night out here if you’re looking for something a bit different to do. Really impressive magic, lots of “how on earth!!?” moments. Thanks Mark and the team for a great night.

    We don’t know Bristol and this tour is fun plus interesting. There are clues to solve as you walk around, and our boys (13 & 11) were able to solve most of these so it kept their interest for the duration. The tour takes you to places you may not normally find, like little cake shops hidden away, plus lovely places to sit and enjoy the scenery & good weather. We recommend this tour!

    Lovely intimate setting. The comedians were fab, very funny and the audience participation was great. It was quite expensive compared to other comedy nights I've been too but it was good.

    Ay mates! This tour was perfect since we were on a tight but unpredictable schedule. So no hassle about appointments. We discovered many interesting places around Bristol and could pause and change the tour to plan around our other activites. I don't want to spoil any details but we were all amazed by what Bristol has to offer and wouldn't have learned as much as we did that day!
    The tour works as an interactive game on your phone which added so much fun to the adventure! We liked it so much that we booked another one around Cambridge.

    Really interesting tour. Great views and very informative.
    Great way to tour the city in your own leisurely time.
    The very last bit of the tour is very steep which we were not expecting but we made it to the top for spectacular views.

    I appreciated that this was something I could do at my own pace. The places on the tour were interesting.

    However, some caveats. Make sure your phone is fully charged as the location feature which lets you know when you’ve reached the next spot, really drains your battery. I had a full battery and still ended up needing my portable charger.

    I found the directions to the next spot somewhat confusing sometimes. I didn’t find that there was a map feature until halfway through the tour. For example she says to walk along a path till you come to a road with a bridge, then cross. Cross the bridge or the road?? Turns out it was the road.

    Also, I found the detail on a spot a bit lacking. For example, she says a bridge with giant horn features was named for a slave, but doesn’t say why or what the horns have to do with it.

    She gives some suggestions for places to eat, but these seem more like ads.

    The tour covers a good bit of the harbour and I think was worth the cost, but I wish there had been more information on why things were the way they were. I did end the tour with her suggestion of the ferry to get back to the starting point, and ended up buying a longer fare to see the town from the harbour all the way to Temple Mead train station, which was very enjoyable.
