Walter Stevens, Managing Director, Bermuda Walking Tours, said “Our GPS guided tours focus on the experiences of Bermuda’s people, places, and events that played a vital role in defining ourselves, our culture, and our history in fun and entertaining ways. Visitors now have the opportunity to step back into history where they’ll discover many things that span four centuries of time, from the British flagship Sea Venture which crashed on our shores on her way from England to Virginia to Mark Twain, the famous American author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, who was one of our island’s first and most dedicated tourists. I’m thrilled to be able to offer visitors to Bermuda engaging, educational, high-quality tourism entertainment that connects visitors to our historic sites, galleries, museums and local artisans.”
