Overview

This sounds like a fun way to see Bristol! Tour departs outside the Avon Gorge Hotel entrance on Sion Hill and ends near Queen Square/ King Street. Please wear suitable flat shoes or trainers. After the tour there are plenty of places we could go for some refreshments and to chat about what we have learned. The tour is not Spice Exclusive so members of the general public may also be there. I have also booked a table for Sunday Lunch at The Avon Gorge Hotel So you can have a good lunch then walk it off! You can also book lunch without the tour.
