Hamilton’s town crier is again inviting people to walk through history with him.

Ed Christopher is leading free tours around the capital for residents and visitors as the tourist season begins.

The route takes in landmarks such as Nellie’s Walk, the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Sessions House and Doctor’s Row.

Mr Christopher, who has been the town crier for nearly 30 years, says he uses oral histories passed down through generations in his reflections on the city.

Sideya Dill, Hamilton City’s marketing co-ordinator, said: “This tour is a perfect way for both tourists and residents to learn not only about the City of Hamilton, but Bermuda.

“We encourage everyone to come and discover Hamilton’s rich, cultural history and immerse themselves in this fascinating experience.

“We invite the island’s tourism and hospitality sector to mention the city’s ‘Discover Hamilton Tour’ to their overseas guests and customers looking for a fun, educational, and cultural excursion at no cost.

“It’s the ideal introduction to the island’s capital city, as Ed is a wealth of information when it comes to recommending places to visit, dine and shop in Hamilton.”

The tour leaves from City Hall at 10.30am from Monday to Friday until December, and takes approximately one hour 45 minutes.

The town crier also offers other city tours focusing on themes such as bar hopping in North Hamilton for people aged over 18.

Private tours are available, as well as ones specially for schoolchildren.
