Vast amount of information and lore. - Enjoyed reference to Mayflower and how it was incorporated into local architecture.
Looking forward to seeing the cathedral in the daytime.

Brilliant - Top class entertaining walk. Simon made the bad of Bath come alive from 3 centuries ago and gave us a great understanding of how Bath developed and was the Las Vegas of its time. Not just your average guided walk - great fun

on the known - A great tour, the perfect combination of history and gossip. Simon brings history to life, very charming and knowledgeable.
If he had other tours ( different period or theme ) I would go to them too.
