Street Art Bristol: From Banksy to the Capital of Graffiti Walking Tour & Escape Game

we really enjoyed it with our kids, didn’t bother reading the story based on past reviews. lots are close together which gets the kids engaged early on. the very last one is no longer there but it’s only 15m after the one before so not an issue. it was nice to learn about the artists and background to the work.
