Birmingham Back to Backs, Birmingham

Superb tour of these fascinating houses, brilliantly led by Annette, who had personal experience of living in similar houses, was most knowledgeable about every aspect and was friendly and helpful too. Thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in social history or simply in how people used to live. A reminder of how much better Birmingham must have been before the council's planners destroyed the city in the 1960s etc.

Fantastic trip through 19th Century Birmingham. The tour guide was local and very knowledgeable. His experience living locally helped set the site in context. We wandered through many different rooms laid out over 4 timeframes. It is great that these buildings have been preserved and are talked about. Booking is essential. Not sure I would go back anytime soon as I believe I saw everything on offer. Thanks for a great 90 minutes.
