• 5James was a fountain...

  James was a fountain knowledge about Bath! We really appreciated his passion for his city! The pubs made it entertaining and a nice walking break. If you want to learn about Bath’s history and hit a few pubs try this tour with James.

• 5James was a fantastic...

  James was a fantastic tour guide! He tailored the experience to the insanely hot day and mobility needs of our party. We never felt rushed at a pub or historical site and he gave the perfect amount of information for things to be interesting but not boring. James is full of knowledge and delivers it perfectly! Highly recommend this tour!

• 5James does it all!

  If you're like me and knew next to nothing about Bath upon arrival, this is a fantastic tour option that isn't as booked as others. James was a very knowledgeable guide and took our small posse all town, witnessing all of it's historic importance and regaling us with tales of yore. And of course, stopping at some fantastic local pubs and bars in between was quite the highlight as well! If you enjoy a well made cask ale and plenty of stories to go with it, this tour gives you a proper taste of what Bath is really about.

• 5Excellent and highly informative tour around Bath

  James is an excellent guide who took us around the city and whilst doing so told us about the history of the city along with the architecture that is so unique to Bath. He asked us at the start of the tour of our interests and expertly tailored the day to ensure that we were happy. We stopped off in a few local bars on route and sampled some lovely local beers and a cider (as it was a very hot day). He has a great sense of humour and we loved our time with him. If you want to have a fun time finding out about the city of Bath, this tour comes highly recommended.

• 5Great way to start our visit to Bath

  Excellent tour. James was personable, friendly, and keen to understand our expectations and tailor the time spent to ensure my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the excursion through the city center. We took his tour on the first day of our 3 day visit to Bath which was a great way to get oriented. Not only did James educate us on the history of Bath, but he also gave us insight into present-day dynamics of the city including recommendations for dining and cultural events during our stay. It was an immersive 3 hour experience that included stops along the way to sample local brews and cider. Very glad we chose this tour. Time well spent.

About Bath

Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.

Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
