This guided walking tour lasts about two hours and fifteen minutes, covering roughly three to four miles and approximately 12,000 steps. The tour begins near the Marriott hotel and includes a series of stops around Bristol's Old City and Harbour areas. The first stop is Bristol Cathedral, where participants spend about ten minutes observing the building and nearby landmarks such as the Well Hung Lover mural, St Marks, Council House, and Park Street. The tour then moves to Oporto Quay and Limekiln Dock to view cranes and shipping activity for ten minutes. Next, the group walks to Bristol City Docks, spending ten minutes at the medieval trench before crossing Pero's Bridge to visit the Arnolfini art centre. The tour continues over Prince Street Bridge, where the guide points out the M Shed museum, the Matthew ship, Container Village, and the ruins of the old prison during a ten-minute stop. After this, participants see the Old Mill Pond, Guinea Street, a House Through Time, slave captains' houses, and Redcliffe Church, also for ten minutes. The walk proceeds to Queen Square, where the group spends fifteen minutes exploring the docks area, including King William's Statue, the American Consulate, and the Spy Glass Inn, known from Treasure Island. The Bristol Old Vic theatre, King Street, and Welsh Back are the next stops, with a ten-minute visit. The tour then covers the origins of Bristol as a Saxon settlement, Castle Park, and enters the Old City to see churches, law courts, merchants' trading haunts, the Corn Exchange, and guild meeting places for ten minutes. Participants walk through St John on the Wall, one of the remaining old city gates, viewing the conduit and street art during a ten-minute stop. The final stop is the statue of Edward Colston, the cenotaph, and the tour concludes back at the Marriott hotel after ten minutes. Each participant receives an audio receiver to hear the guide clearly despite city noise. The guide has lived and worked in Bristol for around 40 years and studied at Bristol Polytechnic (UWE). The tour is interactive and personal with limited breaks. Comfortable footwear and preparation for the weather are recommended.
