Excellent Tours of Bath, Glastonbury and Stone Henge! - Daniel was the most amazing guide while we toured Bath, Glastonbury and Stone Henge. His knowledge and all around good humor made for a most amazing trip. We learned so much. Daniel was able to customize our days just for us. I would highly recommend using Bath Insider Tours. Excellent!

Daniel is the best! Look no further… - If we could give Daniel a 10, we would, but five is the highest 😁. We spent three full days with him, and he was unfailingly thoughtful, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. He showed us Bath, of course, Stonehenge, the highlights of Wells and Cheddar, and a wonderful experience at a falconry with a hawk named Charlie. He even customized our trip so that we could visit a farm that we were interested in, and that was very special for us. There are areas that we weren’t able to see in those three days and we are seriously thinking of exploring those with him at some point. We really wish him the best in his business.

Daniel will show you the Best of Bath - I cannot say enough good things about our tour of Bath and the West Country with Daniel ! His deep familiarity and knowledge of the area, along with terrific organizational skills, took us to so many significant sites and extraordinary scenes. No time was wasted trying to read maps or call for transportation. Lunch was arranged at a historic pub/cafe each day, with a range of meal choices. He is courteous, well prepared, and charming. He looked out for our comfort, and easily picked up on our personal interests at the various sights.
He was able to secure a room upgrade at an historic Georgian hotel to include in his overall tour fee, and recommended areas we could explore for dinner. I feel we have a new friend, who has shared his home city with us in the most expansive way.

A Great Tour! - Daniel’s 3 Day tour exceeded our expectations! He is a very knowledgeable, personable and attentive guide! The Bath / Wells area is beautiful and we were definitely shown the highlights. Daniel modified our itinerary slightly as we went along and as he got to know us better. I will say the hike to the top of the Cheddar Gorge turned out to be a highlight! We really enjoyed staying in Bath at Dukes. Daniel was also able to give us a number of restaurant choices. We had been on a 12 night cruise before meeting Daniel. We appreciated viewing the countryside, Stonehenge, quaint pubs and villages on our land excursion!
We would recommend Daniel and any of his tour options to those who would like to experience a bit more if the Bath area.

A definite highlight of our vacation! - After arriving at the Southampton cruise terminal, we were met by Daniel who picked us up and whisked us off to Stonehenge for the first part of our 3 day private tour. Daniel owns the company and was born and raised in Bath so his knowledge of the area is excellent. He took care of all the details, including reservations at a wonderful bed & breakfast in Bath (Duke's Bath), reservations at local pubs or restaurants for lunch, and planned a wonderful itinerary for us. Major highlights were Stonehenge, Wells, Cheddar, Bath and a falconry on the grounds that Prince Charles owns. He also took us on country roads, hiked up the mountain to see Cheddar Valley, and many other unique and wonderful sites. We have traveled all over the world, taken many private and group tours, and I can honestly say Daniel's tour was one of the best. I would not hesitate to take another tour with him!

A road less traveled! - This was our first time traveling to England and my wife and I figured, lets do this right. Disembarking from the QM2 at Southampton we were met by Daniel, on time, prepared and a well versed tour guide. He owns the company and is local to the area, born and raised in Bath. He drove us places that I could not find again if I tried. Narrow country roads, farm produce stands, major attractions and each and everyone was delightful, well planned and very British. We are walkers and he delivered a diverse and interesting agenda, they only thing out his control was the weather, but he was even prepared for that, providing rain gear and umbrellas out of his well stocked backpack. The only concern I had was prior to us booking the trip. A no refund policy was something that caused me to hesitate. His company is small, and he needs to reserve hotel space in advance during peak travel periods, all of which is nonrefundable to him. But he delivered 100% on his advertised tour, and then some, it way better than we anticipated and he runs a very good operation.
