Mr Brunel (aka Ryan) was superb. Very knowledgeable - great anecdotes - friendly and engaged with everyone en route (including the school children who thought he was Willie Wonker!). Obviously very keen to impart his enthusiasm for Brunel SS, Great Britain and all that it stands for. An amazing ambassador for the charity, ably supported by Sweeper Louise. A thoroughly enjoyable morning.
Loved this attraction. Well preserved piece of history. Highly recommend but I did find it a bit expensive but loved the experience
This walking tour was really fun and informative. I highly recommend it. Mr Brunel was perfectly in character for the whole of our walk, and so very knowledgeable about “his“ life.
Very informative tour, we learned so much about Brunel and Bristol in general and really enjoyed it and recommend ! Many thanks Neil and Marion.
Thank you, it was lovely to have you both along for our tour.
