Liverpool Peaky Blinders Bus Tour for Two
Hop on board the Peaky Blinders express to see the sights and sounds of 20th century Birmingham… except you're in Liverpool. Thanks to its well-preserved Victorian architecture, much of Peaky Blinders was actually filmed in the north west rather than the midlands. So, if you’re interested in seeing where Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory sat and schemed, then this bus tour is for you.
On the four-hour coach tour, you’ll explore nine filming locations from the drama, including Polly’s house, Garrison Lane and much more. Plus, a smartly-dressed tour guide will entertain you with facts and behind-the-scenes stories from the set.

Peaky Blinders Day Tour for Two with Cream Tea at Tommy's Church
If a coach tour isn’t quite enough to tempt you, then how about a coach tour with scones at the end?
After a day of exploring film locations, and enjoying the vibrant landmarks of Liverpool, settle down for a quiet afternoon tea in Cheshire complete with sandwiches and homemade cakes. The cream tea will be served in the café beside the church where Tommy Shelby married Grace, although hopefully your day will end a bit better.
Peaky Blinders Walking Tour in Birmingham
The TV show may not have been filmed in the midlands, but the true story certainly happened here. The real Peaky Blinders ruled the streets of Birmingham in the late 19th century and were notorious for their violent guarding of territory.
On this walking tour through the heart of the city, you’ll learn all about the gang and see the real places where they drank, fought, and were imprisoned. Your tour guide, Edward Shelby, will act the part of a Peaky Blinder looking for new recruits, and will be filling you in on the culture of gangs and crime in Birmingham throughout the last century.

Plus, you’ll be treated to a three-course lunch included in the price.
