Often overlooked, Birmingham is an undiscovered gem in the heart of England. Its vibrant food scene, cultural offerings, and lively city life make it the second most important city in the country, behind only London.
Our tour begins with Birmingham's medieval origins and takes us through the centuries to its key role in the Industrial Revolution. We'll stroll through its most iconic buildings as we uncover how its history is intertwined with the lives of its most influential figures.

You'll meet figures such as Joseph Chamberlain, John Baskerville, and James Brindley, the visionary engineer who transformed Birmingham with his canal network.
