5.00This is an easy but very interesting and entertaining walk. Bristol is a big, beautiful, and vibrant city with lots to see and do. It is impossible to experience it all in one day. Joann, our tour guide, took us to important highlights that enabled us to get a feel for the city and all it has to offer. She provided historical information as well as humorous and interesting stories and factoids. Although this was not a Banksy tour, she pointed out locations of Banksy art for us to find on our own.
