Events can improve staff well-being and team cohesion, and understanding Birmingham and its history can also better locate the identity of your business within the city.
The engaging approach to telling the city's stories can help inspire and engage staff and clients alike.

Client tour: IKEA
IKEA approached Explore Birmingham for a fun activity at the end of the first day of a two day meeting in Birmingham for managers/leaders across the company. They wanted a tour that could focus on transformation to support business objectives for the event, as well as being engaging and fun.
Following a consultation call, Explore Birmingham developed a bespoke tour which, whilst exploring the history of the city, focused on aspects of transformation and features of resilience and innovation that promoted success and grew a modern and diverse city.
The tour was kept informal, fun and good value and allowed leaders to explore transformation from a different perspective.
Here's what they thought...
We cannot speak highly enough of our experience touring Birmingham City with Al as our guide. From the moment we embarked on our journey, Al's insightful and engaging storytelling transported us through the city's remarkable transformation over the ages.
His deep knowledge and passion for Birmingham shone through, breathing life into its history, and showcasing how the city has constantly evolved and adapted. Not only did Al impart his vast knowledge, but he also successfully captured the spirit and forward-thinking ethos of Birmingham.
We wholeheartedly recommend Al for group tours. His expertise, captivating storytelling, and genuine enthusiasm make him an outstanding guide.
Carolyn, IKEA
Being a national team, we rarely have the opportunity to work with each other in person and so for our team meeting in Birmingham I was on the hunt for an activity in the city that would encourage conversation, give us an understanding of the local area, and be an inclusive shared experience. Al’s ‘City Sights and History Tour’ was the ideal choice and a highlight of our time together.
Al was incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for Birmingham was infectious, sharing fascinating insights about the city's rich history and hidden gems that even surprised some of the Brummies in our team! The tour was perfectly paced, amazing value for money, and we all left nattering away about what we had learnt; it stimulated communication and fostered a great sense of team.
I’d highly recommend Explore Birmingham for any organisation looking for an engaging and educational team-building outing. The whole experience was bostin (ask Al)!

Client tour: Natural England
Natural England were looking for a team activity for their Birmingham meeting of colleagues who work across the country.
They thought the City Sights & History tour looked perfect and so arranged a private tour for the team. As it was an existing tour, without any amendments required, it was speedy to arrange and cost effective for them.
Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable few hours and, as you can read, it really fostered team communication and cohesion...
