Description
Good to Know
Our slogging gang is looking for new recruits, so join Edward Shelby, a distant cousin of the real-life Birmingham gang, as he shows you around the city and teaches you the ropes of being a gang member in the late 19th century. Guides from our award winning in character walking tour company, Top Tours Global, will walk you through the streets the slogging gangs once ruled at night and explore parts of the city not covered on our daytime tour. How did the gangs use the canals? How did alcohol add to the gang problem. What did the city do to try to control it? On this tour, you will discover the answers and experience four unique drinking establishments, from real ale pubs to gin palaces and cocktail bars. Participate in some fun activities, such as drinking games and a pub quiz, while learning about the impact of gangs and alcohol on the city. Our night tour is perfect for hen and stag nights, birthdays, team-building events, or a great way to meet new people.

Must do walking tour
Great tour! Edward was an amazing guide, and also flexible to do a spontaneous tour even he had just arrived from the airport. Would 10/10 recommend if you’re in Birmingham!

My wife and I really enjoyed our Birmingham Gangs Tour and hitting some really cool pubs along the way. Our guide was fantastic and his knowledge of the history surrounding the Birmingham gangs was impressive. We really enjoyed learning and chatting along the way. Excellent tour and fairly priced. Highly recommend.
