We launched in 2023 offering welcoming, engaging and entertaining tours around Plymouth.

We want to give you a feel for the city, and don't expect you to have an prior knowledge of history, or the area. We are flexible in our approach so are perfect for children too (we even have some sensory resources to make things more interesting!).

We are passionate about making our tours as accessible as possible. We have planned step-free routes, for people with wheelchairs or limited mobility, and have audio description training, to welcome guests with visual impairment.

The team is fully insured and we are dedicated to only share researched and authentic stories about Plymouth from the past, present and future.

It was set up by Hannah, a proud Plymothian. She used her experience in visitor engagement, heritage interpretation and digital walking trails to set up this new walking tour offer with visitor engagement at its heart.

This was my second walking tour with Hannah. The first one I did impressed me so much I booked for myself and my husband as I knew he'd enjoy it. We both enjoyed it immensely, I didn't feel I knew it all already as Hannah added different information in. Her knowledge, passion for the area and ability to communicate the information is outstanding. It is an informative, welcoming and fun experience. I will definitely be taking friends and family in future, and look forward to the next tour! Thank you Hannah 😊
Interesting and educational tour.

Hannah did an excellent tour of mainly of the Barbican with a bit of Plymouth and the Hoe thrown in. Lots of interesting history helped by old postcards and pictures to bring it all to life. How she remembers it all is amazing. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike. Thank you Hannah.
Great tour and friendly host!

We messaged Hannah directly to ask about a tour for a certain day and she set one up for us which was incredibly kind! We arrived and it turned out we were the only ones who had booked on, but the tour went ahead anyway which was a really lovely gesture! Hannah was so knowledgable about Plymouth and its history. She had some great pictures and stories. She was mindful of us and ensured we were going at a suitable pace. It was around 2 hours and we heard so many interesting stories. She answered all our questions and made everything seem really personable which was great. Thank you Hannah! Really enjoyed this tour!

As regular visitors (and lovers of) Plymouth, we were looking forward to this experience. We were part of a group of 10-12 on a dry, autumn day. The tour took 2 hours and we felt that it was expertly led by Hannah. She is very knowledgeable about the local area and its history. I have a hearing impairment and often miss out on walking tours; but Hannah spoke clearly and audibly, she was constantly checking on the environment around her to make sure that we were all present and safe. We walked around the hoe, barbican and skirted the city on what was largely a level route, with a few steps to get down from the hoe. 100% recommend this tour- well worth the money and even those who know the area will learn loads!
Great tour Hannah, knowledge, presentation and interest top notch - well done and thank you!

Hannah - what a lovely person and so knowledgable. We learned so much and saw loads of really interesting places. I though the other little touches were also great (though I won’t mention them in this review - no spoiler alert 😂🤣). If you are looking to get a good feel for Plymouth and it’s history, then I would strongly recommend you do this tour. Well done Hannah!
A wonderful tour of Plymouth

I had a wonderful tour of Plymouth with Hannah. I was the only person there and she spent two hours explaining the history and incredible buildings . Unless she could back it up with facts or pictures it was not included as so many things in Plymouth are presumed. It was done at a steady pace and included many out of the way places which would be difficult to find or interpret without a guide. I can thoroughly recommend this wonderful tour with Hannah.

A really enjoyable couple of hours, that went very quickly as Hannah is an experienced, knowledgable and entertaining guide, full of interesting small, quirky facts, as well as the headliners. A great way to find out more about the history of Plymouth and also learn about its more recent history as a ‘City of the Future’. Fascinating and highly recommended.
Great Plymouth experience

Hana was an excellent knowledgeable and personable guide. The pace was relaxing and Hana could answer all questions. She had an excellent sense of humour.
