What our customers ask about Bristol Tours & Trips
What's the best time of year to visit Bristol?
Bristol comes alive from June to September with temperatures around 68-72°F (20-22°C). This peak season brings major events to the city including the Bristol Harbour Festival in July and International Balloon Fiesta in August. Visitors in spring (April-May) find milder weather and shorter lines at key sites like the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Bristol Cathedral. The Mercure Bristol Holland House Hotel near the harbourside fills quickly during festival season. Winter brings fewer tourists but plenty of indoor activities at places like the M Shed museum and Bristol Aquarium.
What accommodation options are available in Bristol and surrounding areas?
Bristol and its surroundings offer places to stay for every budget. The DoubleTree by Hilton in Bristol's Redcliffe Way represents the higher-end hotel options while coastal towns feature historic properties like Falmouth's Greenbank Hotel. Exeter provides good mid-range choices with the Queens Court Hotel and Premier Inn. For a more personal touch B&Bs like The Poltair and Gyllyngvase House in Falmouth welcome visitors with home-style comfort. A TourRadar traveler commented "The itinerary from Bristol was perfect and we saw a lot in 4 days with comfortable accommodations throughout the journey."
What are the must-visit historical sites around Bristol?
History lives in the stones around Bristol. Tintagel Castle stands on North Cornwall's cliffs claiming its place in Arthurian legend. The 5000-year-old Stonehenge near Salisbury shows off ancient engineering skills that still puzzle experts today. In the medieval village of Dunster a Norman castle tells stories of England's past. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "What a wonderful tour led by Alan whose knowledge of the area was exceptional. We went to places familiar to tours and others that it seemed only a local would know."
Where are the best coastal views near Bristol?
The Southwest coast offers nature's best views. Durdle Door's limestone arch stands as a gateway to the Jurassic Coast while Lulworth Cove curves perfectly into Dorset's shoreline. St. Ives combines art galleries with harbor views. Land's End presents raw cliff faces meeting the Atlantic. The Minack Theatre near Penzance puts on shows with the sea as its backdrop. For prime harbor viewing the Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth puts guests front row. A TourRadar traveler noted "Dan was an excellent guide and a great driver on these small English country roads. He really went the extra mile to make things work."
What unique food experiences are available in Bristol?
Bristol's food culture centers around St Nicholas Market where local specialties shine: Bristol cream sherry artisanal cheeses and West Country cider. The Harbourside area especially Wapping Wharf's CARGO development serves modern British cuisine from shipping containers turned kitchens. The Bristol Hotel on Prince Street puts guests steps from these dining spots. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The food markets and local pubs around the harbor area were incredible offering a real taste of modern British cuisine."
What are some unique local experiences in Bristol?
Bristol offers activities you won't find elsewhere. Street art tours trace Banksy's work through the city while hot air balloons drift overhead especially during the International Balloon Fiesta. Harbor ferry rides show the city from water level. The Bristol Hotel near Queen Square makes a good starting point. Local life includes cider at traditional pubs exploring the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter and food tours through St Nicholas Market. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Taking a street art tour really helped us understand Bristol's creative spirit."
