Overview

We launched in 2023 offering welcoming, engaging and entertaining tours around Plymouth.

We want to give you a feel for the city, and don't expect you to have an prior knowledge of history, or the area. We are flexible in our approach so are perfect for children too (we even have some sensory resources to make things more interesting!).

We are passionate about making our tours as accessible as possible. We have planned step-free routes, for people with wheelchairs or limited mobility, and have audio description training, to welcome guests with visual impairment.

The team is fully insured and we are dedicated to only share researched and authentic stories about Plymouth from the past, present and future.

It was set up by Hannah, a proud Plymothian. She used her experience in visitor engagement, heritage interpretation and digital walking trails to set up this new walking tour offer with visitor engagement at its heart.
