4.00The tour was engaging, informative, and brought a fascinating part of Birmingham’s history to life. The pace was comfortable, the explanations were easy to follow, and the locations really helped set the atmosphere of the era. It felt less like a standard tour and more like stepping into a living history lesson. A great choice for anyone interested in Birmingham’s past or looking for a unique way to explore the city. Definitely worth doing.

5.00Bought the experience as a birthday present for my partner who is obsessed with Peaky Blinders. Questions and answers help understand facts from fiction and History behind the storyline of the Peaky Blinders. Stops and visits to notorious landmarks included a visit to the old prison, Victorian-era building, operational from 1891 to 2016 to look into prison cells for that era. We were not disappointed we throughly enjoyed the walk and informative talk led by infamous Edward Shelby, We were joined by others as a party of 10 which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

4.00Really informative tour that takes you all over Birmingham city centre and gave us opportunity to explore areas we’ve never been before. Ed is a very good, knowledgeable guide, and really sociable so makes you feel at ease straight from the start. Highlights was definitely the visit inside the old police station and the drink stop in The Bull, definitely could’ve spent the afternoon in there sampling the different ales in the company of the pub cat! Only downside was the tour doesn’t end back at the meeting point, as advertised on TripAdvisor. Not the end of the world, but we had purposefully parked close to the meeting point so we could shoot off straight away and get back in time for childcare arrangements, but instead had a good 15-minute walk back to where we started.
A great walking historical tour of Birmingham

5.00A very informative walking tour with an excellent guide in Ed who was very knowledgeable and sociable too- we all had an excellent historical tour of the good old gang days of Birmingham with very interesting information along the way. Ed was very chatty throughout and a pint was also had the 2nd oldest pub - The Bull- This is a very worthwhile tour and excellent value for money - even though it rained for a little while If your in Birmingham it’s a must do tour - thanks Ed - 🏴🏴🏴👍
Very Informative

5.00Edward took us on a comprehensive tour of the world of gangs in Birmingham, providing the truth behind what went on and dispelling some myths. There were some good stops at the West Midlands Police Museum, The Bulk pub and St Chad's church. There was a lot of walking but most of it was on level ground so you have to have a reasonable level of fitness but this should be within most people's ability. A great tour and it was reasonably priced for two and a half hours of history.

5.00Really enjoyed the tour and learnt a fair bit about Birmingham but the real star was the guide who had really good banter- it really makes a difference to have a guide who'll chat and is clearly very knowledgeable about the city. For me Birmingham is a bit of an odd one as a city but the tour helped me find my footing a bit more and will leave me with a more positive impression than expected:) Side note to the guide, feel free to come up to Scotland after we declare independence :P
