You will be walking with Dr Lillian Cespedes Gonzalez, a PhD historian who has been living and studying in the south of England for 13 years.

(Please note our team has grown in the last 4 years and although Lillian delivers the majority of our tours, there are other guides now all trained by her who are either historians/educators).

During this walk you will learn the history of Portsmouth as a naval city and the impact the development of the Royal Navy had on this town.

We will talk about main events in British history such as the First and Second World War, the Peninsula War, the development of naval warfare and the impact it has had in human life. But also, we will get to experience a beautiful and charming seaside city with lovely views and a character of its own.

    Portsmouth has rich history and it was great visiting some of the historic places. I was amazed to see very old houses built in 1720.
