Hi, I'm Steve, the lead guide for Portsmouth of the Past Free Walking Tours. Having lived in and around the city for over 40 years, I have extensive knowledge of the quirky or secret places that you might miss.
Your guides love engaging with visitors from all over the world to this wonderful city.
What makes Portsmouth unique? It is all about its people, their lives, loves, and losses. It is not about boring buildings and dreary dates. As such I am a storyteller, making our history real to people today.
A great way to learn more about Portsmouth! Steve is a fantastic guide! Extremely knowledgeable about the town and her history, great insider tips, and a great route with options on where to end. Steve loves what he does, as evidenced by the fact that he donates all of his guide fees to Cancer Research! Highly recommend!!
Great!!!
Having lived near Portsmouth nearly all my life I was pleasantly surprised with all the information that Steve imparted that I had no idea about. A thoroughly enjoyable experience - good walking pace.
Steve was great, easy to find him. He explained where we were going, and for 1.5 hours he told us, pointed things out to us that we would not have seen or understood had we just walked the route ourselves. The things we learnt about naval matters, the famous people born in Portsmouth and the significance of the buildings in Old Portsmouth were really interesting. Thoroughly recommend you book him the next time you're in Portsmouth. Also some of the money you give him goes towards a chosen charity.
Excellent walking tour.
