Bits about Brum from a Brummie - Fun tour of some of the local sites from a real Brummie! It was a good mix of Birmingham history and current culture. A bit heavier on talking and history and culture than on actual sight seeing, I’d say, which might disappoint some but please others!

Enjoyable, informative and excellent guide who coped well with the snowy conditions. Meeting point information very poor - Informative and enjoyable walking tour of central Birmingham with pleasant guide who coped well finding places for us to shelter in the snowy conditions while he talked to us. Insufficient information on meeting point. No mention of flagpole or man in orange jacket so one man almost missed the tour.

Not an inspiring tour - It was unfortunately a very cold day and the guide stopped at the most chilled corners available! The tour was interesting but the guide was not enthusiastic in any way and the time dragged.
