★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,950 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $17Best value

Explore Bristol’s WWII air raid shelter, Corn Exchange vaults, rooftop views, and St Nicholas Market with a lively local guide.

“This is a fascinating and entertaining tour. While the wartime stories may be familiar to some of us, the experience of visiting such a hidden part of Bristol just underneath a well known landmark is fantasic. Our guide Theresa was passionate, very knowledgable and ensured that everybody got the most out of the tour. She also pressed on in the outdoor part of the tour despite the gale force winds and rain!”

Review of West Country Games in Bristol, a lively farm-based group activity with nine games, inflatables, fat suits, and catapults.

Bristol’s Smoke & Mirrors pairs close-up magic, comedy, pizza, and prosecco in an intimate 1920s-style theater for a lively 90-minute night out.

“Certainly not a perfect show but very sympatic entertainment on local level. Althought we could follow the magician's tongue only partially we had a lot of fun with his card tricks and especially the location, the backroom of a bar and the possiblity to have a snack or a beer while the show goes on were an unforgettable experience ...”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 166 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $29

Explore Bristol’s old city and harbour with guide Mike, Banksy murals, docks, churches, and local stories on a small-group walk.

“Our second tour with Mike, having joined the excellent Clifton bridge to city centre tour in 2023. This tour started close to where the previous tour finished, covering the central areas of Bristol. MIke's knowledge of the history of this facinating city remains impressive, with the detail often enhanced by photos or drawings of the city to show how it has evolved. Apart from the history, the tour touched on the social and economic changes to the city, including street art by Banksy and others. We took this tour shortly after arriving in Bristol for a long weekend, and found it highlighted many interesting areas we returned to the next…”
