Interesting and Fun - My friend and I really enjoyed this recent tour of Bath and a few of its quirky pubs. Our guide, James knows the city well and pointed out lots of interesting sights and told lots of stories with his very dry British sense of humour and also bought the beers - we could have happily stayed on chatting and drinking in some of the pubs for much longer!

Great tour, very informative and covers so much of Bath, not just the pubs! - This was a great tour, really informative and great to go with a local, I realised there is so much I didn’t know about Bath. James is really helpful, funny and attentive to all our needs. Of course the frothy beers were lovely too!

A great experince - I recently organised for a corporate group to have a tour of Bath with James. When organising the tour, James was really helpful, approachable, responsive and happy to tailor the tour to our needs. The group all came back from the tour and had a great time from an interesting guide and learning about a beautiful city!

Book this tour now! - This is a "must do" tour if you are traveling to Bath. James is so knowledgeable about the history of Bath and shared so many interesting, and often funny, stories. Honestly, this was a highlight of our stay in Bath.

Great way to experience Bath! - This tour was awesome. James was very knowledgeable but most importantly he made the tour fun. We enjoyed 3 half pints of beer at cool pubs and chatted about Bath while we sipped. This was a great tour. Book it!

A relaxing and entertaining tour of Bath city. - We had a really great afternoon touring Bath with James. It wasn’t one of your typical dry historical tours in all senses of the word! I’ve visited Bath several times previously but still learned a lot about the place and really gained a insight into how people lived here over the centuries. James was very entertaining and knowledgeable, having lived here for some time. He picked some good pubs and we visited all the main historical/architectural sites of interest.Don’t worry you can drink coffee or tea and the atmosphere is relaxed.
