We think you'll love these walks of discovery, whatever your age. But don't just take our word for it - here's what one person said:
"We spent a wonderful day yesterday, in clear blue sunshine, walking round Bristol. We found the guide easy to use & most informative. The choice of ending for walk 1 & start for walk 2 was inspired, we had a lovely Tapas lunch just over the road in between the 2 walks. Thank you!".
