Bristol is a thriving contemporary city with a unique creative identity and a rich maritime heritage that blends together seamlessly. Bristol has a really creative atmosphere – and is the home of many bands and musicians, including Portishead and Massive Attack. It also spawned Banksy and the global eruption of the street art movement and has a veritable cornucopia of architectural styles. Most recently, Bristol has made global headlines with the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. 

On your privately guided walking tour, you will explore the historic center, the old harbor, the elegant Corn Street and the Exchange, which retains its mercantile buzz, and King Street learning about the maritime trade and industry of the city. See how the old warehouses have now been converted into amazing artisanal workshops, boutiques, and bars. You’ll also walk past the cultural hub of Bristol with its many museums and galleries like MShed. You can also visit the Church of St Mary Redcliffe, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.

Then, on Nelson Street, the creative vibe is entirely different from the home of Bristol’s bold, colorful street art. There are loads of Banksy’s in Bristol – and you’ll see many of them, including the famous ‘Well Hung Lover’ before ending your tour in a traditional local pub for a pint or a glass of wine with your guide.
