The experience

You've got an afternoon free in Bristol and you know the show: now see where it actually happened. The tour picks up at Temple Meads and moves through the city hitting more than 10 locations, each one a scene you've watched. Your guide gives you the background on what was filmed where and what happened off-camera, so you're not just standing on a pavement looking at a building. You understand why that corner mattered to the story.

The stops include Nelson Mandela House, the exterior of the wine bar where Del falls through the hatch (the inside was filmed in a London studio, but the guide walks you through what happened), Sid's Cafe, and the lock-up garage that became central to the plot. You'll get a chance to put on Batman and Robin outfits and re-enact the scene in the exact street where Del and Rodney used the disguises to scare off muggers: the guide sets it up so you can take the photo in the same spot. There's also the location where Rodney gets a photo developed in the final episode, one of the show's most poignant moments. The coach is air-conditioned and seats you comfortably for the four hours. The live commentary happens on board as you move between stops.

The tour wraps up back at Temple Meads, so you don't have to arrange a separate way back into the city center. Children from age 3 are welcome, and the moderate fitness level needed is mostly just standing and walking short distances between the coach and each location.
