Punctual, enthused, and organized is a great way to start and Simon was all three. He clearly enjoys sharing insights about all parts of Bath - the good and the shady which made for a “not the usual walking” tour. If you want a heavy on Bridgerton tour this is not for you - but it was for us and the other participants. Simon covered many eras of Bath’s history in a humorous and engaging manner. No one was bored - he kept an 11 y/o boy engaged as well as the adults - a feat in itself. Fun, entertaining, and informative walk and then it was over. Money and time well spent. BTW Simon - we danced to “Message To You Rudy”

An absolutely fascinating and highly entertaining tour of Bath, covering the darker side; gambling, drinking, extortion, with interesting architectural facts. Our lovely guide Simon was so knowledgeable (and funny) and the tour took us around places we would otherwise have missed. Thank you Simon - an excellent two hours!
