Deal overview
This is the deal way to escape life's stresses and explore the famed canal system running through Birmingham from the luxury of a classic narrowboat which is perfect for spotting secret sights and historical landmarks.
Birmingham's canals have been a hub for transporting goods, it is England's larger and quieter answer to Venice in which you will transported in an open air cargo hold past the many scenic sights in the place where coal and various goods were moved from point to point.
This is a unique tour of the city that lets you see how the people of Birmingham once worked and how this vastly differs from today, with the complete trip lasting around one hour with around 15 to 30 minutes for cabin tours and questions to get an insight into how they worked with special stories from one of our experienced guides.
Our guides are very experienced and passionate about these historic boats and the city's heritage, so this is a unique opportunity to learn from a local while relaxing in the fresh air on the water; it is an immersive tour experience you won't forget.
