Blue Badge guided tour of Bath - Jim McFee was absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a personable, intelligent, clever guide, this is your guy. You’ll be lucky if you can book him because he stays so busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our custom tour.

Andy was an expert. - Our guide Andy was a history buff and an expert who adapted to our agenda of going off the beaten path. The tour time flew quickly and yet we felt relaxed and all learned so much along the way. We would definitely recommend booking the same tour with Andy or another Blue Badge guide.

Fabulous detailed overview of Bath - Jim, our extremely knowledgeable tour guide, was outstanding. We had a group of 8, perfect weather, and he was the perfect guide for us to get to know Bath. Loved Jim’s detailed history, the local stories, the sites of the city. It was like being in the midst of an excellent podcast where we could see and ask questions. Not only did we get to see all the highlights of the city, he gave us dining suggestions that were spot on. You walk away from this walking tour feeling like you know so much if not only the history of this wonderful city, but some local stories and behind the scenes looks. Perfect tour ~ a must do!
