Positively Birmingham Walking Tours - Solihull

I went on the 'from canals and Victorian's to today's city' tour yesterday and would highly recommend it. Jonathan was an excellent guide, we were told lots of interesting facts and covered quite a lot of ground. Headphones are used, which means that you can easily hear everything that's being said.

I'm not familiar with Birmingham and this tour allowed me to see parts of the city that I wouldn't otherwise have seen. The route that we followed was well thought out and passed a good mix of sights.

Definitely worth the price!

What a brilliant tour! Jonathan, the organiser as well as our guide on the day, is a very approachable and knowledgeable person who treated us like old friends, with a group photo to boot. We had overseas visitors on our tour, some of whom couldn't speak much English, but Jonathan kept them involved by relating aspects of Birmingham to their home country. Indeed, along with his wit, Jonathan adapts his narrative to the audience to keep them engaged.

Although a walking tour, we didn't find it physically taxing at all as most of the attractions are centrally based. We went on a very gentle amble, and with audio headsets, it didn't matter if we lagged a little behind.

We learned both historical and geographical facts about Birmingham that have made it a leading city in the world for industrial and cultural innovation, including references to bands that have achieved wide international fame.

Whilst having been on many tours around the world, this is the first one where we have been handed a substantial complimentary tour guide (produced by Jonathan) at the end and where prizes have been handed out along the way.

Would recommend this tour to enthusiasts who love to know more about the history of Birmingham. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and energetic. Enjoyed the tour very much.

Very informative and enjoyable experience with Jonathan as our guide. His knowledge of the area was extensive, and his manner and sense of humour made our 2 hours most enjoyable. We learned so much. Really liked how Jonathan welcomed any questions we had and took the time to give considered answers from his vast knowledge and experience of the area. I’d strongly recommend this your any visitor who has a couple of hours to spare and would like to know about the past, present, and potential future of the Digbeth area. 😊👍

We had a fantastic tour including some of the highlights of Birmingham and areas we wouldn't have found on our own. Really interesting history and stories, canals, architecture and Jonathan was a very enthusiastic and entertaining guide. We will definitely return to do one of the other tours another time!

A very interesting tour of Digbeth. The guide had an extensive knowledge of the area and of the street art and artists. The pace of tour was very good and you covered a lot ground in the 2 hours. Thoroughly recommend the tour.

Many thanks to Jonathan Berg for the Birmingham walking tour. It was a nice walk to learn some of the Birmingham history/places and life.
Jonathan's book is a good representation of Birmingham with lovely pics and information, thanks Jonathan.
This tour operator supports a charity that helps the homeless who are many in Birmingham, well done!

Fantastic tour of the centre of Birmingham. Learned so much about the city's history, notable people, architecture and art. Added bonus were the cherry trees in blossom 🌸 and meeting Andy Street, former West Midlands Mayor. Jonathan was a very enthusiastic and entertaining guide.
