Thank you for the wonderful tour you gave us in May.  I so enjoyed it and professionally benefited from seeing the sights and hearing your ideas and information. My students enjoyed talking to you and meeting you very much.

Thank you very much for the tours. They were extremely informative, very well paced and linked brilliantly with everything the children had learnt about in class. On our return to school, one of the pupils said it was the most interesting trip he had ever been on.

Thank you again for your tour around Birmingham. Our students really liked it and I very much appreciated getting a different view on Birmingham, which changed my conception of the city.

Thank you for the excellent tour. In spite of the rain, those who took it enjoyed it greatly and commented on what a great guide Ian was – informative and witty. Official feedback from the conference was great – everyone rated it very highly.

We’ve learned, seen and eaten such a lot! But it was your expert explanations, directions, suggestions and tours that created such a great atmosphere for our holiday.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and Ian for the canal walk for our team. We found it to be enjoyable and informative. Most of my colleagues, like myself, know the centre of Birmingham pretty well but still did not know about the canal history! The weather stayed pretty dry as well which helped! Once again thank you and I’ll be recommending the tours to my friends and other colleagues.

This is just a short note to pass on our thanks for arranging the Birmingham City tour for us over the weekend. Your guide, Ian, was exceptionally knowledgeable and everyone agreed that he made the tour very enjoyable. The route was perfect and was exactly what we were looking for.

I have had the pleasure of going on some of Ian’s guided tours. I enjoyed the ghost walks in particular. Ian made the evening very enjoyable and fun for young and old alike. I was born and have lived in Birmingham all of my life but Ian told me a lot of stories about Birmingham that I did not know. Ian creates a good friendly atmosphere and welcomes any questions people may ask. I would certainly recommend the ghost walks, they are good value for money too.
