Most enjoyable walking tour. Well organised, informative and entertaining.

There was so much covered on this walking tour on both the history and present day of Birmingham. So many sculptures and buildings I've never noticed before. Sitting in the choir stalls of the cathedral with the organ playing and hearing about the stunning stained...More

Byrne-Jones walking tour

Review of: In the Footsteps of Sir Edward Burne-Jones 13:30 - 15:15

A really good mix of the old and the new. The best bit for me was the information about Byrne-Jones and seeing the stained-glass windows in two churches. They were absolutely spectacular and we were fortunate that the sun was shining behind them.More

Thank phlov

Thanks. The Burne-Jones windows in St Martin' Church and St Philip's Cathedral really do demonstrate how Birmingham's most famous artist worked with William Morris to produce high end glass artistry. Do come along to our Tour No. 1 and No. 3 when you have some...More

Insight into Birmingham

Fun and informative tour round central Birmingham. Great for all age groups. We’ve been to Brum quite a few times but this tour gave us an insight into the history of familiar places. Good way for new visitors to orientate themselves for further exploration.

Thank PatWorcs

Thanks for coming along and for taking the time to comment on the tour here. Do come on one of our other tours next time you are visiting Birmingham - see the Positively Birmingham website for details.
