Simon was Great ! - Simon was very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed learning all the interesting stories about Bath. My favorite part was the Medieval wall that plague bodies were thrown over !

BATH WASN'T JUST GENTEEL - Simon was very engaging and knowledgeable, with a dash of humour to keep people's attention. The regular side of Bath's history was well covered, but also the lesser known seedier side. Attention was also drawn to other places worth visiting away from the area around the Roman Baths and Abbey. Great value for money.

Eye opener. - We shuffled our itinerary to do this tour and what a bonus it was. Fun, informative and engaging. Bath isn’t just pretty regency frills as Simon gave us a perspective of Bath often overlooked. It gave us an insight to some of the places we visited later and we would thoroughly recommend this tour.
