Fabulous WWII bomb shelter tour! The guide was fun, informative and super knowledgeable. Being a Bristolian I thought I knew a lot about my home city but learnt loads. We did the tour as a family afternoon activity, something a little different and everyone loved it. Grab some amazing food in St Nicks Market to either start or finish your day.

The Bristol air raid shelter tour was really engaging and even the adults learned something new. Owen was an excellent Warden. My ten year old: this is the best tour we have been on.
