Tour description

Tired of the same old cities? Discover Birmingham, the vibrant capital you didn't know you needed. It's not just the "second city of England"; it's the heartbeat that powered an empire, a mosaic of medieval history and modern engineering feats. Get ready for a tour that will make you see the city with new eyes!


This is not just any walk. Dive with us into an exciting journey that begins with Birmingham's humble roots. We will explore its origins while unveiling the fascinating story behind the bull, the powerful symbol of the city.


We will travel through the centuries, from the medieval echoes of the impressive St. Martin's Church to the baroque splendor of the Cathedral, the spiritual epicenter of the city.


We will continue our journey through the power and ambition of Birmingham, making a key stop at Victoria Square, the civic core of the city. Here we will admire the majesty of the Town Hall. Inspired by Roman architecture, this iconic building has been the cultural and administrative heart since 1834, and is a powerful visual testament to the wealth gained during the Industrial Revolution. 


We will tell you how the city became the industrial engine of the world. You will meet the brilliant minds who made it possible, like the visionary engineer James Brindley, whose legacy transformed transportation forever.


We offer you a unique perspective: a tour that balances epic history with surprising anecdotes. Whether you're a history lover, an architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for free and quality plans, this tour is your gateway to the soul of a city that knew how to reinvent itself, transitioning from a smoky factory to a flourishing cultural and gastronomic reference.


Keep in mind that Free Tour does not mean "free," but rather "free contribution." Free tours incur a series of expenses that are covered by the donations given by clients at the end of the tour based on their satisfaction. Although a specific amount should never be demanded, guides may suggest a guideline amount based on what is customary.
