Informative & Fun - We really enjoyed our Bike Tour. It was a great way to see Bristol as we only had a short stay. Saw heaps of stuff we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We particularly enjoyed the street art & Banksy works. Mike had great local knowledge. Thanks Mike & James. We will remember our Bristol trip fondly

Great experience - Great experience, definitely a great way to see the city. Our guide Morton was brilliant, very knowledgeable, we certainly saw and learnt a lot more about the area than we would ever have done on our own. Would highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your Bristol stay, so that you can plan where to go back and visit.

Nice bike ride through Bristol - Before the bike tour we walked through the center of Bristol without a guide. It is not a tourist city and does not have a beautiful historic center. Our visit to this city was therefore initially disappointing. We had booked a guided bicycle tour in advance. Fortunately, because that ensured that we still had a very nice time in Bristol. Luke (our guide) has years of experience giving tours of Bristol. He had something to say about a wide variety of topics. From urban art to the construction of the SS Great Britain, big stories and small anecdotes, recent events and stories from the past... everything was covered during the tour. I don't want to reveal too much, because Luke can explain it much better than I can and it's also much more fun to be surprised during the tour. We can recommend this bike tour to everyone, as it is one of the best ways to explore the city.
