Overview

You will learn the modern history of Southampton accompanied by a Ph.D. historian* and tour guide. The experience practices mindful tourism which means to help you understand how the community you are visiting is impacted by you and history.

*Since 2021 our company has grown and although Lillian delivers the majority of the tours there are other guides on the team. They have been trained by her and have a background as teachers/historians/history students at the university.

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
