About this tour
This is a video call rather than a walk, a chance to talk through Bristol's street art scene using photographs rather than a live route. I cover a handful of well-known murals and how the city came to embrace this kind of work. It works well as background before or after seeing the walls yourself.
We start with a short sound check, then go through the images together at your pace, pausing wherever you have questions. I send a short map of locations afterwards if you want to find them yourself.
It suits anyone who wants context without a live walk. It also suits planning ahead of a visit to the neighbourhoods themselves.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Bristol, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Images and context 17 min
I share photographs of key murals around the city on screen, talk through how a few of them came about, and check which neighbourhoods or artists you would like to know more about.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in London time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Bristol: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need any background in art?
No. The guide explains what matters as you go, whatever you already know or do not.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
