Dive into Bristol's fascinating history
Join us for guided tours as we discuss the history of Bristol from the perspective of the water.
Our engaging tours will not only provide information on Bristol's more famous landmarks, people and personalities, but also explore the origins of the City Docks.
From its disturbing involvement in transatlantic slavery and eventual abolition, to its industrial heyday and eventual regeneration...
From a trading port of manufactured and shipped goods accross the globe, to what the Floating Harbour is used for today...
Tickets are offered at £15 per adult and £12.50 for children/carers.
Our trips depart on select weekends from Prince St Bridge. The trip runs for 1 hour 15 mins, to best showcase Bristol's Harbour at a leisurely pace and share its rich history.
