Do you have what it takes to join a Birmingham Slogging gang? If so we are looking for new recruits so come and join our guide, Edward Shelby, a member of the slogging gangs. He will show you the city & teach you the ways of the gangs & how the reality differs from their portrayal in popular culture.. This tour from the award winning company, Top Tours Global, is centred around the historical & cultural aspects of the Birmingham slogging gangs. You learn about how the gangs terrorised Birmingham in the late 19th & early 20th century. This tour will explore gang members such as Billy Kimber, Alfie Solomon & the Italian Mob. This two-hour tour begins & ends at Aston University, with parking available & goes deep into historical gang territories. The tour will have two stops at local pubs where guests are welcome to buy a drink whilst hearing more about the Birmingham gangs of the last two centuries.

Easy meeting place. Edwards went out of his way to assist people with parking. Very knowledgeable, intesting and fun way spend the afternoon. The pub was good too.
5Peaky Blinders and More
Fun and informative tour lead by a charming young gent. He reviews the actual histories of the people and events that Peaky Blinders is based on.
5Must do your!
Absolutely fantastic! Edward was very knowledgeable. The whole tour from start to finish was fascinating. Will definitely be booking to go again.
5Great history tour
Great Peaky Blinders tour but also really great for anyone that's interested in Birmingham's history! Thank you "Edward Shelby". We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more Birmingham’s history, about the gangs and the real Peaky Blinders, but also just for a fun afternoon out if you have spare time while visiting Birmingham!:)
4Good but not great
A little bit underwhelming . Guide was good fun and easy going . Not a lot of what we saw related back to the TV series which piqued my interest . Did a tour of Wrexham a couple of years which was much more immersive and relevant . I did a " free " walking tour in Birmingham a couple of days earlier which also covered PB content .

About Birmingham
Birmingham is England's second city, a Midlands centre of canals, Victorian civic buildings, jewellery workshops and Pre-Raphaelite art.
Birmingham grew from a market town into a city of a thousand trades during the Industrial Revolution, and its canals, which fan out from the basin at Gas Street, still thread through the centre lined with bars and restored warehouses. Victoria Square has the Council House and the Town Hall, the Library of Birmingham stands beside Centenary Square, and the Bullring shopping centre sits below the spire of St Martin's Church.
Top-ranked sights in Birmingham: Chamberlain Square, Birmingham Town Hall, Centenary Square.
