You Won’t Regret Taking on this Tour - Bob is a terrific guide! His knowledge of Bath is unmatched; it is like walking with a History professor and his way of storytelling, infused with historical facts and current knowledge, brings to life the “old way of life” and the new like 3D! Bob is hard to miss as he wears a yellow-green (or neon) coloured vest and holds up a sign that says Best of Bath Walking Tour. The tour is approximately 2h long, but Bob indulged us with a bit more history by request as he really knows Bath. He even got us on time for our Afternoon Tea at the Pump Room with all the shortcuts that we took. Truly an amazing and quality tour guide conducted by Bob.

We loved our afternoon with Bob - Our tour with Bob was absolutely delightful, in fact it was one of the best tours we've ever been on. Bath is such an interesting and beautiful place and we're so grateful that Bob so shared his passion and in-depth knowledge with us. It was a lovely small group, the pace was perfect and Bob kept us smiling the whole time. :-) We can't recommend it highly enough.

Great walking tour - Was an informative and fun walking tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had. Having never visited Bath before, I believe we saw all the key sights. I can't imagine how it could have been better (except sunshine which no one can guarantee)

Best of Bath Walking Tours is the Best!!!! - Bob (the owner) from Best of Bath was a wonderful tour guide— he’ll tell you that he’s not a native of Bath, he’s only been there for 50 years. He is incredibly knowledgeable and kept the tour going at a really good pace, we never felt rushed—or bored. He limits the size of his tours to very, very small groups—which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend!

An excellent introduction to the historic city of Bath - Bob was truly amazing! His knowledge and love of Bath came over in a friendly and interesting way. He brought Georgian Bath to life for us. We did the walking tour on our first day, enabling us to plan where we wanted to explore in more detail for the remaining two days. Do not miss Bob’s Walking Tour of Bath - it is so worthwhile!!

BEST Walking tour EVER! - When choosing a walking tour, Bob's had the best reviews, and they are all TRUE! I felt so welcomed especially as a solo traveler, and he has the sweetest smile! Having an older gentleman walk around (he is so fast, ha) a wonderful town and share so much incredible history and cool facts was defiantly the highlight of my time in Bath! He is very thoughtful and makes sure all understand and are following with the tour. Would recommend for people over 15 so one can take in all of the great information he has to offer.
