Let’s face it – Bristol has got to be one of the greatest cities in the world. Whether its the beautiful architecture, historic boats and bridges, breathtaking green spaces, the chilled out vibe of the harbourside or the excellent shopping districts – there is someone for everyone – and we can take you there!

So how do you see as much as possible in a short period of time, as well as learn those interesting, specifically Bristol, facts? For example, have you ever wondered where the saying ‘ship shape and Bristol fashion’ originates? How about ‘happy as a sand boy’? And did you know that Brunel never saw his famous Clifton Suspension bridge completed?
