What about the weather?: Guided tours will go ahead in all but the worst of weather. If we need to cancel the tour because of very poor weather, we will reschedule at the earliest opportunity.

What should I wear?: Our city streets can be a little uneven, slippery and steep in places, and this tour will involve some walking. Sturdy, sensible shoes are your friend! Don’t forget to wear clothes suitable for a day outdoors as well.

Great for: An introduction to Birmingham’s brilliant spaces, histories, and people for first time visitors. People looking for a fun alternative to a guided tour. Groups looking for something fun and interesting to do in the city centre.
