Tours and sightseeing

There are few better ways to really get under the skin of a city than to take a sightseeing tour. Not only to you get to visit all the most interesting areas, you also learn all about the city’s culture, history and heritage. With Portsmouth being a more historic city than most, it’s the ideal place to get out and enjoy a sightseeing tour.

Guided tours and walks give you the chance to hear all the fascinating stories Portsmouth has to tell, by those who know them best. With tours encompassing different areas and interests, you can be sure there’s something for you.

If you’d prefer the freedom to explore on your own, why not take in a self-guided tour? You can still discover the area’s rich history, but at your own pace – with as many diversions as you wish!

Being an island city, our tours aren’t all on land – far from it. Get out on a boat tour to learn all about the city’s naval heritage, which is as much of a part of Portsmouth’s DNA as anything else.
