Why join a historical walking tour?

Discover the stories behind the streets

There is no better way to discover a city than on foot. Our guided historical walks take you beyond the familiar landmarks to uncover hidden buildings, remarkable characters and stories from hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of years of history

More than just dates and names

Our walks are designed to make history entertaining, accessible and memorable. Led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guides, you'll discover fascinating stories, explore places you may otherwise walk straight past and see some of our most historic towns and cities from a completely different perspective

In Winchester, uncover centuries of history, fascinating characters and hidden corners or take a behind the scenes tour of Winchester Cathedral, while Portsmouth's naval and military past provides extraordinary stories ranging from Nelson and D-Day to the historic streets and pubs of Old Portsmouth
