Full of information and interesting stories about local characters, how Portsmouth developed and the Royal Navy of old. Also good information about restaurants etc. We enjoyed it very much!

Steve ist an absolute legend! He did the walking tour just for me in horrible weather and shared his knowledge and stories of Portsmouth's past with me. Can't recommend him enough!

Steve has lots of information and even has a notebook to show pictures from the past to help with the information he presents.

Had a fantastic time with our tour guide

Steve’s tour was full of information, anecdotes and humour. He allowed for the audience and happily tweaked the itinerary to suit. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer

Steve was very upbeat, informative and had a great sense of humour. A good story teller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ho partecipato al tour di Portsmouth con Steve ed è stata un’esperienza davvero bellissima. La mattinata è trascorsa in modo piacevole grazie alla sua precisione, preparazione e grande disponibilità. Ha raccontato la storia della città con aneddoti interessanti, curiosità e battute divertenti che hanno reso il tour coinvolgente e mai noioso. Apprezzo molto anche la sua disponibilità prima del tour: ha risposto con gentilezza e puntualità ai messaggi che gli avevo inviato per avere informazioni. Durante la visita, ogni volta che avevo una domanda rispondeva subito, e se qualcosa non mi era chiaro me lo spiegava con pazienza e semplicità, aiutandomi anche con l’inglese. Grazie a lui ho scoperto aspetti e dettagli della città che da sola non avrei mai notato. Consiglio assolutamente questa esperienza a chiunque voglia conoscere Portsmouth in modo autentico e piacevole! ⸻ Review in English ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I joined the Portsmouth tour with Steve and it was a truly wonderful experience. The morning went by pleasantly thanks to his accuracy, knowledge, and great availability. He told the history of the city with interesting anecdotes, curiosities, and funny remarks that made the tour engaging and never boring. I also really appreciated his availability before the tour: he replied kindly and promptly to the messages I sent him asking for information. During the visit, whenever I had a question, he answered immediately, and if something wasn’t clear he explained it with patience and clarity, also helping me with my English. Thanks to him I discovered aspects and details of the city that I would have never noticed on my own. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Portsmouth in an authentic and enjoyable way!

Steve was very interesting, his knowledge was incredible. We really got a better understanding of the history of Portsmouth. The walking tour was just the correct time and we really enjoyed it. Thank you Steve for your passion and professionalism. Dan

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.

Very knowledgeable guide and a really nice bloke
