Luke offers private Bristol walking tours for individuals, families, visiting groups, universities, schools, organisations and celebration groups looking for something more personal than a scheduled public tour.
Tours can focus on street art, maritime history, Blackbeard, Banksy, hidden Bristol, family heritage, dark history, team-building, stag and hen parties, or a custom route built around your interests.
Not sure what kind of tour you need? Start a conversation and Luke can help shape the right walk for your group.
Luke designs bespoke walking experiences and reflective workshops for senior leaders and leadership teams, using Bristol's history of power, innovation, failure and reinvention as a framework for discussion, decision-making and organisational thinking.
These walks are built around each client's specific challenges and can be delivered confidentially or under NDA.
Planning a staff day, leadership session or client-facing experience? Start a conversation and Luke can help develop the right format.
Not every tour is for a crowd.
Luke works with individuals and families who have a personal connection to Bristol — people returning after decades, tracing family roots, or reconnecting with places that shaped their lives.
In 2025, he helped Bill and Maureen, child emigrants of Bristol, revisit their birthplace through a tailored heritage-focused experience.
These projects are among the most rewarding work Luke does, and enquiries are always welcome.
