Tour description

Discover the main sights of Birmingham, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, with our tour.

Often overlooked, Birmingham is an undiscovered gem in the heart of England. Its vibrant food scene, cultural offerings, and lively city life make it the second most important city in the country, behind only London.

Our tour begins with Birmingham's medieval origins and takes us through the centuries to its key role in the Industrial Revolution. We'll stroll through its most iconic buildings as we uncover how its history is intertwined with the lives of its most influential figures.

Did you know that Birmingham was already a trading center in the 10th century? And that the bull, the city's symbol, has a fascinating history behind it?

You'll meet figures such as Joseph Chamberlain, John Baskerville, and James Brindley, the visionary engineer who transformed Birmingham with his canal network.

Whether you're traveling alone, with friends, or with family, this tour is perfect for delving into the past of a city that has reinvented itself, transforming itself from an industrial powerhouse into a cultural landmark.

Reserve your spot now and be amazed by Birmingham!

Free tours incur a number of expenses, which are covered by donations made by guests at the end of the tour based on their satisfaction.
