About

Portsmouth of the Past offers free private and public group walking tours around historic Old Portsmouth - focusing on the lives, loves and losses of its people, not dreary dates or boring buildings.

Guides have an unrivalled knowledge of historic Portsmouth, from its Roman origins to the present day. Whether you are interested in military history, ghosts, World Wars and their impact on Portsmouth's people, or just want a flavour of the city heritage, Portsmouth of the Past has plenty to offer.

The tours are suitable for all ages. For children, workbooks and pencils are available to engage and interest. For international travelers, summary sheets, translated into a range of languages, are available.

The route is approximately two miles long and wheelchair friendly throughout. It's suitable for children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens.

Tours can be tailored, from a 30 minute 'flavour’ tour to 60 minutes or the full 90 minutes.

Tour groups are limited to 12 people to ensure all participants can hear and engage. Visitors may turn up on the day but preference will be given to anyone who has booked in advance.

Corporate events (such as evening social events, team building days, etc.) can be supported - get in touch to discuss your requirements.
