Wonderful walking tour of Portsmouth! It was really nice to be walked around and told many interesting naval facts, especially the history of common sayings we still use today and don’t realize had a connection to the Royal Navy or the past residents of Portsmouth.
Great guide, good cause.

Very good walking tour - covered a lot of history and ended up in the old town, where we stayed for lunch. Got a good idea of things to go back and visit. Like the donation to charity
Good but almost didn't happen

My partner and I would highly recommend the tour with Steve. The weather was a bit unpredictable but Steve worked around it, finding a pub whilst it rained and going through the history of Portsmouth with photos. When it stopped raining, he took us on the tour, his knowledge is endless and he shows you sides of Portsmouth you wouldn’t normally explore. Highly recommended if you’re looking to get a rounded knowledge of the city. Steve is friendly and truly could answer any question!
