Most of our Bristol walking tours are 75-90 minutes, and we suggest arriving 5-10 minutes early and adding on 5-10 minute buffer to the end in case you’d like to ask some questions or linger at one of our wonderful historical or cultural locations.
We can arrange for longer walking tours as a bespoke walking tour, a school walking tour, or even our Secret Bars and Speakeasies walking tour or a Pirate pub crawl.
You can find the duration of all of our tours on the individual walking tour pages before booking.
We can tweak and amend our private group, bespoke walking tours and school walking tours to an extent, like spending more time in our WW2 bunker if that’s your interest, or adding an extra pub & pint to the Pirate Pub Tour.
We want to make sure each guest has the best walking tour of Bristol, so drop us a message before booking if you have something special in mind.

A Bristol Guided walking tour, of course! We might be biased, but with decades of experience giving tours of Bristol under our belts, and exclusive access to some of Bristol historical hidden gems, we don’t think you can beat our walking tour experience.
