He will show you the city & teach you the ways of the gangs & how the reality differs from their portrayal in popular culture..

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.
