Celebrating 50 Years of Tour Guiding
To mark our 50th anniversary, we’re launching two new guided walks alongside our classic Overground & Underground tour.
Where Journeys Begin
A rich journey through Southampton’s medieval past and the last 50 years of change — told through local memories, historic landmarks and the city’s evolving waterfront.
Then & Now: 1976–2026
A nostalgic look at the shops, cafés and streets that shaped everyday life. From Woolies Pic’n’Mix to the rise of West Quay, explore how the High Street has transformed in just one generation.
Overground & Underground
We are continuing to offer our signature Old Town tour through vaults, walls and centuries of history.
Join us as we celebrate half a century of sharing Southampton’s stories.
