Our slogging gang is looking for new recruits, so join Edward Shelby, a distant cousin of the real-life Birmingham gang, as he shows you around the city and teaches you the ropes of being a gang member in the late 19th century. Guides from our award winning in character walking tour company, Top Tours Global, will walk you through the streets the slogging gangs once ruled at night and explore parts of the city not covered on our daytime tour. How did the gangs use the canals? How did alcohol add to the gang problem. What did the city do to try to control it? On this tour, you will discover the answers and experience four unique drinking establishments, from real ale pubs to gin palaces and cocktail bars. Participate in some fun activities, such as drinking games and a pub quiz, while learning about the impact of gangs and alcohol on the city. Our night tour is perfect for hen and stag nights, birthdays, team-building events, or a great way to meet new people.

Really enjoyed the tour with Edward. He was a very sound lad. He looked the part and I found him very accommodating and nice to deal with. Edward was very chatty and knowledgeable and I learned loads on the tour. He was able to answer any questions I had and made sure I was home safe afterwards. 5/5. Thank you Edward. Very enjoyable experience.
Very interesting and enjoyable glimpse into Birmingham's past.

What a great night. "Edward" was engaging in his Peaky Blinders role play and showed us some great pubs and sites we would never have found on our own. He pitched the tone to match the group's interests with just enough Peaky Blinders and other aspects of Birmingham's social history.
Pub crawl with a difference!

My friend and I wanted something a bit different to do for a night out in Birmingham so we booked the Peaky Blinders Historical Walk - with pubs! I am so glad we did, Edward is a charming and very knowledgeable guy who gave us the history of the gangs in Birmingham along with other really interesting pieces of information about the city (in which I was born). It was also a great laugh as we had various stops along the way at different drinking venues. I would definitely recommend this if you have a couple of hours free.

Arrived for the tour. No one was there, rang the number provided and told the tour had been cancelled weeks ago. Yet money was taken three days before. The money was refunded straight away but we feel very disappointed that we were let down like this.
