A Really Good...Bad Tour! - If you want to do a walking tour of Bath then pick this one for sure! Simon is brilliant, he kept my attention throughout and paints a great picture of how Bath used to be. A lovely group size, felt very relaxed and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If i visit again with friends I would book the tour and do it again, a real highlight of my time in Bath.

Great fun with a wonderful guide! - Simon was a wonderful, charming guide! My daughter and I enjoyed his sunny personality on a cloudy day, not to mention his humor and his sharing of the “rest of the story”. Thank you for making our trip to Bath even more enjoyable.

Bath Walking Tour - Excellent tour, very funny and informative. We learned so much about Bath and saw places that we wouldn’t have noticed had we just explored the town by ourselves. Highly recommend to anyone visiting.
