The tour, after its transfer from the South Bank (that's another bank for you jOhn) will be on foot, although with special permission you may be allowed to use both feet.

You will see:
how Hull started the English Civil War (possibly one of the civilest wars in history - after you, mate, no after you!);
the largest church in England (depending on how you measure them);
the daftest street name in the world; and
the smallest window in the known universe (also possibly smaller than some in the unknown universe).

You will also visit sume pubs and drink sume bear9hoi. Actually you can choose between pubs and museums/art gallery. The trick is that the drinkers go to pubs and wait for the culture vultures to catch up.

Hull's Art Gallery and Museums are first class and free - with the exception of the big deep sea fish tank, which you haven't got time for anyway, unless you went there instead. You possibly haven't got enough time for the Arctic Corsair (preserved trawler, unless you head there straight away).

Any road up, for anybody who's arriving independently, meet outside Hull Tourism Office (at the City Hall) at 10.30am. Here's some stuff to be reading in the meantime.
