It was a great tour, we learnt a lot about the darker side of Bath in the georgian period, It was nice for it not to be all about Jane Austen and to focus more on every day life.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Simon. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining, managing to engage the whole group, picking up on everyone's interests, Jane Austen, Bridgerton etc. A great way to spend a couple of hours in the beautiful city of Bath!

This is a wonderfully fun and insightful tour. Simon is a raconteur - his stories about Bath's history and notable 'characters' are entertaining and insightful. He took us to all the key stops in Bath, as well as several off the beaten track. I highly recommend!

We had the most fun walking the streets of Bath with Simon, whose fun and energetic nature shine through the entire two hours. A perfect start to a stay in Bath.

A must do in Bath! The tour was super storytelling about the life details back to the 18th. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the walk and get a lot from it.

Great tour, Simon our guide was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and obviously loves the city he lives in. The tour lasted just over 2hrs but felt like an hour. I’ve been to Bath many times and certainly learnt a thing or three. I liked the small group feel and Simon was more than happy to answer any questions on the tour but be warned he has some terrible jokes!! Kim & Steve

Simon is a very engaging and informative guide, who clearly knows his stuff around Bath. Some tours can be a bit dry, but this one is fun and interactive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone who wants a guide with lots of humour and lesser known stories about the history of Bath.
