5.00Fortunately a rare fine morning. Always good to have an ex teacher as a guide with a good speaking manner. Tout started with 6 but attracted more en route. Covered 5or 6 key aspects of central Birmingham during the 90 minute walk. Very good value.

5.00The tour was thoroughly enjoyable the only criticism was that it went too quickly. However, that is a sign that a good time was had. Phil was an excellent guide, he was knowledgeable, entertaining with sound communication skills. The walk was at a relaxed pace, but a great deal was packed in. I have been to Birmingham on numerous occasions but I learnt so much about it after the walk. I would heartily recommend the tour to anyone and would go on it again without any hesitation.
If you've never been to Birmingham do this.
