Overview

Discovering Birmingham and the Jewellery Quarter - Positively Birmingham Tour No. 3 We use a live audio system - the guide wears a transmitter and our guests wear a receiver. You hear every word even if you are well away making it perfect for social distancing and also ideal for those with impaired hearing. Understand how Birmingham developed and see that many of today’s ways of working have deep roots in our past. A real investigation into today's city in the context of the history of this centre of the industrial revolution now facing up to the future in a determined way. In particular we explore: • Earlier times – medieval origins • From Georgian entrepreneurs to Victorian idealists • Jewellery Quarter • Canal city • An artistic side • Today's city developing for the future. This 2 hour walking tour gives a great introduction to the city and will be of interest equally to local people and visitors alike. Tours start/finish: Library of Birmingham front entrance

Itinerary

  • Centenary Square

    We start here and introduce the tour. We learn a lot about the city from things in and around the Square.

    20 minutes

  • Jewellery Quarter

    We enter the Jewellery Quarter by a secret canal route that even locals do not use. We learn about the way the Jewellery Quarter developed and the different types of business that developed from Gergian times. We see the way the modern Quarter is taking its place in today's city.

    30 minutes

  • St. Paul's Church (Pass By)

    Known as the Jewellery Quarter church we view the outside of this lovely 1779 example of Georgian architecture.

  • Birmingham Cathedral

    We look at this fine English Baroque cathedral. On occasions if there is time and not conflciting events we may go in and experience the Edward Burne-Jones stained glass

    5 minutes

  • St. Chad's Cathedral (Pass By)

    We view St Chads from the inner ring road. We appreciate only too well the issues with post-war redevelopment when the car was king. We decide for ourselves if Birmingham has a planned redevelopment.

  • Victoria Square

    Having seen St Philip's Cathedral and lots more in between we return towards the Library of Birmingham by several important city Squares.

    10 minutes

  • Chamberlain Square

    We see this renovated square and understand more about the way the modern city is reconfiguring for the future.

Birmingham City 2 hour tour. Relaxing and fun.

Published on May, 2025

We had a great 2 hour tour around the Birmingham City Centre. Jonathan Berg (our tour guide) was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. It was well worth the money. I would highly recommend it.

This tour was so good that I came back and did two on consecutive days!

Published on May, 2025

Great to hear a tour from a non-commercial enthusiast with a real depth of knowledge and passion for his adopted City of Birmingham. In fact the tour was so good I returned and did two on consecutive days!

Fascinating tour of another side to the city

Published on May, 2025

This was a great way to find out more about Birmingham's industrial history and culture and see another side to the city. Jonathan, our guide, brings plenty of knowledge and passion to his tour. On a very warm day in the city, it was a well planned and easy route with plenty of chances to stop for a break, to ask questions and examine details. Thoroughly recommended.

Positively Brilliant!

Published on May, 2025

What a brilliant tour! Jonathan, the organiser as well as our guide on the day, is a very approachable and knowledgeable person who treated us like old friends, with a group photo to boot. We had overseas visitors on our tour, some of whom couldn't speak much English, but Jonathan kept them involved by relating aspects of Birmingham to their home country. Indeed, along with his wit, Jonathan adapts his narrative to the audience to keep them engaged. Although a walking tour, we didn't find it physically taxing at all as most of the attractions are centrally based. We went on a very gentle amble, and with audio headsets, it didn't matter if we lagged a little behind. We learned both historical and geographical facts about Birmingham that have made it a leading city in the world for industrial and cultural innovation, including references to bands that have achieved wide international fame. Whilst having been on many tours around the world, this is the first one where we have been handed a substantial complimentary tour guide (produced by Jonathan) at the end and where prizes have been handed out along the way.

Highly recommended.

This is our third tour with Jonathan Brilliant guide. Entertaining but really knowledgeable. Made me realise how much I didn't know about our wonderful city. Definitely recommend!
