Great few hours being entertained with some laughs

We had a very entertaining few hours on the tour. It gave you all the regular information about Bath, but with heaps more 'real life of the times' stories. Would recommend if you want just something a bit different.

Don’t bother researching Guides for a tour of Bath. Just book with Simon!

Simon gave us a fantastic two-hour tour of Bath. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, bringing the city’s history, architecture, and stories vividly to life, while adding plenty of humour along the way. The time flew by, which is always the sign of a truly engaging guide. Informative, entertaining, and wonderfully personable — I would very highly recommend Simon to anyone wanting to get the most out of a visit to Bath.

The Best Way to Discover Bath’s Hidden & Scandalous Past

Simon was an absolutely brilliant tour guide! He was funny, knowledgeable, engaging and a fantastic storyteller from start to finish. Rather than just reciting dates and facts, he brought Bath’s history to life with humour, fascinating stories and plenty of scandal along the way. We loved the unique “Bad of Bath Tour” concept—it was such a refreshing take on the city’s history. Simon’s passion and delivery kept us entertained throughout, and we came away learning so much about the hidden, mischievous and scandalous side of Bath that we’d never have discovered otherwise. If you’re looking for a walking tour that’s informative, entertaining and full of laughs, we can’t recommend Simon highly enough. He made our visit to Bath even more memorable!

A fun tour looking at the bad side of Bath!

Our tour was fantastic. Simon is a natural guide; knowledgeable and engaging. We found out about interesting (and some dodgy!) characters and what really went on in Bath! If you're looking for a fun tour look no further!

The Bad of Bath tour with...

The Bad of Bath tour with Simon was a very fun way to spend two hours in Bath. Simon is knowledgeable, engaging, humorous, all the things you want in a tour guide. The tour itself was interesting and we learned a lot about this lovely city. Highly recommend.

Great Tour with Simon for 'Bad of Bath'!

Simon is an excellent Tour Guide. 'Bad of Bath' is a fun and different way to experience the highlights of Bath without all the cliche's of the other tours. This tour does include all the 'must sees' but also included some fun, witty, and some slightly irreverent truths behind the Bath 'facade' of propriety.
