Ben was a great tour guide. I went on a different city walking tour earlier in the day before the bike tour with Ben, and there was a lot of overlap but I saw a lot more on the bike tour. If I had to choose again, I would definitely book this bike tour only. Highly recommend!
A really great way to get to experience the city. We learned loads about the culture and history of the place, and it really helped orient us to plan what to do with the rest of our stay.
Luke saved the day with a walk about in the rain instead of a cancellation. Very much appreciated as I was only in town for one day. (And he knew where to find cover from the rain!) His knowledge of the history of Bristol is amazing.
Terrific and fun way to see Bristol with a local. There are extensive bike paths throughout Bristol so it’s easy to get around. Our guide was knowledgeable about the city’s long and colorful history. I highly recommend for anyone in the mood for plain old good time!

Lovely excursion, saw the city and learned lots. Nice little run on the bike, very flat! Have visited the city many times before but still saw new places and learned more about the history. Sam was a great guide.
