Our guide was wonderful....
Our guide was wonderful. There is of course lots of walking over Bristol's notoriously uneven pavement, but it wasn't difficult to navigate. Chris was a wealth of information on the history of Bristol, the pubs and other notable locations we visited. So much interesting information that we would have otherwise missed. We feel like this tour got us the most out of our visit to Bristol.

Bristol by Chris
Chris was knowledgeable and thorough. The timing of the tour was perfect. It wasn’t too long nor was it rushed. She was foresighted enough to reach out to move up the timing so lifting would not be an issue.

Great Local Pub
Great local pub, nice friendly atmosphere, good drinks. Plenty of room, has a large outside patio with many picnic tables. Good food, on a quiet street in Montpelier, 8 minutes from train station.
