An excellent walking tour of Bath - Our guide (Joy) was excellent, informative, and, well, joyful! Although the weather was cold she kept our spirits up and our children had a great time.

Excellent informative stroll through Bath - We had an amazing experience with our guide. It was just the 3 of us this time and we were able to ask all types of questions about Bath and she was more than happy and patient to answer them completely. Definitely would recommend!

A fascinating walk around Bath - To be honest, I wasn't sure I'd stick with this; I thought I might try a tour for half an hour or so and then peel off if it didn't tick my boxes. I was worried that it would be dry and a bit 'ambley' and hard to hear.
It was a crowded Easter Saturday and there were LOTS of people when I arrived. But there were plenty of guides and I was lucky enough to be put in Adrian's group. He was brilliant right from the start - assured and clear and passionate about his subject - and so was the tour; my worries were very quickly dispelled and I stayed 'til the end and beyond, to ask more questions.
Adrian was so knowledgeable and articulate, and he led the whole thing at a good pace with humour and enthusiasm and an obvious desire to give everyone a special experience. He was very open to questions and banter and he broke down some of the barriers which strangers in a group often feel.
I would very definitely recommend the tour as a great thing to do, because it really brought the history of Bath to life for me and helped me appreciate what an amazing place this is.
