In depth and fascinating tour, we were shocked to learn that our humble guide has done the majority of the work himself of gathering artefacts and restoring the air raid shelter to a great piece of history frozen in time. Thank you kindly for having us go on this journey at the corn exchange! Our guide was also really flexible in accommodating our bigger group :)

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on this tour! The tour guide is incredibly passionate, funny, and interesting. The tour was well-researched and utilised incredible setting to tell the stories of our past. I was impressed by the guide's use of language, discussing difficult subjects with the words that felt right for it and portraying these events without rose tinted vision. With lots of fun facts, interesting behind the scenes, and visions into Bristol's past that wouldn't be possible anywhere else, I would recommend this tour to any tourist or local. I will note that previous to the tour, I did not realise there would be quite so many stairs involved apposed to flat walking. This was a slight struggle for one member of our party, although they still very much enjoyed themself, there was no rushing, and there were rest stops available. However, if you or a potential attendee have mobility issues, do consider this aspect before booking!

St. Nicholas Market & Air Raid Shelter Walking Tour was a great experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bristol or to residents who live in the city. Duncan was exceedingly good - it was his idea to put this kind of tour together and we could not fault it at all. From his knowledge of the history of St. Nicholas Market to the tour of the air raid shelters and the artifacts that he had assembled in the shelters. It was a pleasure to meet him, we could understand all that he was saying, coupled with a sense of humor.

It was exactly as described. We went as we wanted to see the air raid shelter underneath St Nics market. We all live in Bristol and we learnt so much more about St Nicholas Market, thanks to Duncan. He was so informative and made the couple of hours we were with him so much fun. We learnt about what Castle park was like before the war, the buildings in St Nics markets and the sculptures on them......look up the next time you are there. Did you know St Nicholas Market used to be a music venue and The Who played there. The air raid shelters were so interesting as we're the ladies who are hidden from everyone, apart from if you go on this tour. We would 100% recommend it, it's such good value for money. Let's make it a proper tourist attraction Bristol City Council

This tour certainly didn't disappoint, it was so very informative about the whole area, we found out some very interesting facts!! Duncan was a great guide and put over all the information so that it was easy to listen to and understand. Visiting the Air Raid Shelter was fascinating and seeing some of the original equipment in there gave you a real feel for how it must have been during those terrible times. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone and think it was good value for money. Thank you!
