We had fun while we enjoyed learning about Bath and the surrounding area. We were also privileged to be able to enter the inner circle of Stonehenge,due to the Spring Equinox.This was a powerful and moving experience.

Great excursion with an excellent guide! - Daniel treated our group of 6 to a wonderful day. We learned so much, while being thoroughly entertained at every stop and all along the route. Daniel made sure that we were all well fed and happy, and knew the best places to go for spectacular views, at the most advantageous time of day for photo opportunities. We will definitely contact Daniel again if our future travels bring us to this part of the world.

A fabulous day touring Salisbury, Bath and Stonehenge - We highly recommend Daniel as a tour guide! His knowledge is quite impressive. He shared local myths and legends, took us to a local pub for lunch in Bath, and planned a perfect full day of sightseeing for us.
