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.

Fun and engaging tour of Bath - We found our walking tour with James informative, engaging and super interesting! James asked us what we’d like to see and hear about at the start of the tour so we could really make the most of our time. Also fun to have a half at a few local pubs along the way! Highly recommend.

Perfect for Americans - Informative and engaging. Our tour seemed expansive and guide covered everything we were or might have been interested in, the baths, Jane Austen, architecture, and Nicholas Cage.

James gives an amazing Bath tour! - I love all things historic, especially architecture, and James and the city of Bath did not disappoint! He was a great guide - very relatable, engaging, fun, and knowledgeable. His stops were well-timed, good breaks to grab a coffee, etc., which made it an easy few hours (they flew by!). His tour is informative and enjoyable, the perfect amount of detail that doesn’t overwhelm but gives you enough to feel like you have a handle on the city’s history. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!

An easy and fun way to take in Bath’s history - A fun-filled and very interesting walking tour. James has really done his research and themes his tour with a great blend of history, architecture, gossip and humour. We took the tour as a group of five girlfriends which worked really well - but the format would equally suit either a couple or a large group.
