Fascinating and fun historical tour of Bath with the most engaging tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of following. Thanks Jess - you made Bath come alive.
This is an excellent tour for learning about the town of Bath. The tour guide, Mr. Owen Byrnes, was exceptional in many respects. As one might expect, he was very knowledgeable and well organized. Beyond that, Mr. Byrnes "went the extra mile" in very challenging conditions. The day presented significant hurdles for any tour guide. To begin with, there were college graduation ceremonies and celebrations throughout the center of town. On top of that, the day was really, really hot. Mr. Byrnes handled these challenges well. He maneuvered his group through the crowds and traffic well, managing to keep the group together in spite of everything. He also managed to find shade for the group in most places throughout the walking tour. His consideration was greatly appreciated by all. The points on the tour were well chosen, and Mr. Byrne presented them well. In particular, Mr. Byrne created a lovely tapestry for those interested in the town by weaving together places and names and dates.
Really pleased that you enjoyed the tour. Your feedback is always very much appreciated.
Long winded, hard to hear. Spoke of inconsequential things. Stood around in sun too long, mother in law had to drop out after 30 minutes with too much standing in one place.
Thank you booking with us, and thank you for your feedback.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Bath, with Jess as our guide, today. She was friendly, fun, engaging, and had a fantastic way of bringing the city's history to life. The tour was packed with fascinating historical context, interesting facts, and stories about Bath's iconic landmarks, all delivered with great enthusiasm and humour. The time flew by, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation of this beautiful city. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Jess as your guide!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Your recommendation is very much appreciated.
Adrian guided us through Bath with humor and a few German words. He "opened our eyes" in many places - so that we recognized things on facades that we would never have noticed on our own. He personally involved many tour participants. Unfortunately, it is not permitted to express one's gratitude and enthusiasm with a tip. Thanks Adrian! We enjoyed the tour with you !!!
