Why a Private Birmingham City Tour Beats Walking
Should you visit Birmingham?
42 million tourists per year say yes. But most see the Bullring and leave. First-time visitors walk from New Street to the Bullring. 20 minutes. Then leave. The real Birmingham is 25 miles wide. Walking tour: 1 mile. Bus: fixed route. V- Class: everything.
Walking Tour Covers 1 Mile. We Cover 25
Walking tours cover Cathedral Square to Victoria Square to Brindleyplace. Done in 2 hours. Cadbury World in Bournville? 4 miles. Tolkien’s Sarehole Mill? 5 miles. Black Country Museum? 10 miles. Warwick Castle? 25 miles. Walking tours cannot reach any. Our V-Class reaches all before dinner.
Bus Tour Fixed Route, Cold, 12 Steps
Hop-on hop-off bus? Yes. Fixed route. Fixed schedule. 12 steps to the top deck. Cold in November. Rain in March. Cannot reach Cadbury World, Sarehole Mill, or Warwick Castle. Grandma cannot climb those steps. Your 5-year-old will not walk 7 miles. “Rain or shine” is their standard.
V-Class Driver Parks at Every Entrance
V-Class for 6. Climate-controlled. USB charging. The driver parks at every landmark entrance. 50 metres at each stop. Not 7 miles in the rain. Elderly-friendly. Child-friendly. Pushchair space. Wheelchair accessible on request. Your pace. Your stops. Your day. A climate-controlled V-Class is our standard.
