An off-beat & excellent tour of Bath - Simon is kind, knowledgeable and humorous. He made a walking tour of Bath fun & covered some interesting topics the guide books won't tell you. A manageable walk filled with scenic spots. Go see Simon!

Fun and Educational Tour - Simon was a delight! My friend and I booked this tour to learn about the city, and we thought his approach sounded fun. And it was! It was educational, entertaining, easy walking and filled with laughs. Also, the length was perfect. Not too short…not too long. Highly recommend.

Spend a few hours with Simon......you won't be sorry. - We really enjoyed our tour with Simon. Simon's knowledge of Bath's architecture and inhabitants was not only interesting but entertaining as well. His somewhat theatrical performances were fun and enjoyable. We loved that our group was small which made the tour seem more personal.

An Amazing “Alternative” Tour. - Simon was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His knowledge and sense of humour made for a very entertaining and interesting tour. How he remembers all the dates and names is amazing. Mixing the history, architecture and the past characters made it a very pleasurable experience. I would certainly recommend this tour. Thank you Simon
