Self-guided tours

Self-guided tours are the ideal way to explore Portsmouth under your own steam. Rather than following a set route or theme, you can explore at your leisure – meaning you can tailor the walk to your own personal interests.

There are a number of different options for self-guided tours around the city – each of them offering great insights into what went in to making each location what it is today. Being self-guided, you have the freedom to spend as long as you like at each stopping point, or even take an extra-long break in areas of particular interest. The decision lies well and truly in your hands.
