Highly recommend this tour with James. Really interesting, he was very knowledgeable but also personable. Lovely idea to stop at pubs on the way. He was engaging and interested and the 3 hours flew by. It was a great insight into the history of Bath and we both really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend you book this tour when staying in Bath 🙌👌
In Bath...take this plunge!

James was an excellent guide, an authoritative source of information and a heck of a dry wit! We really enjoyed this tour, it spanned everything that we wanted to know about Bath and you get to see things that the tour buses won't have a chance to show you. The pub stops perfectly punctuate the walking tour. Bath is a gem of a place to visit and this tour is highly recommended. Just for the curious, it does not include a tour into the Roman baths, that would be separate tour that you would have to arrange, but this tour does start right in front of it (at the Abbey).
This is the best way to see Bath

Very informative tour with a small group. It was like a private version of the highly recommended city walking tour, but with frequent stops for beer. We learned so much about Bath's history and loved all our our guide's recommendations.
A brilliant walking tour. We strongly advise you to sign up.

What a wonderful walking tour. My son and I were part of a small group. James made a point of getting to know us personally as we walked. He is so knowledgeable and interesting, knows everything about the history of Bath and kept us all engrossed for the full 3 hours, which passed by so quickly. We found out about places like The Crescent and The Circus which we might not have even seen otherwise. We enjoyed the 3 small beers too in quaint historic pubs. We have done walking tours all round Europe including Berlin, Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Munich, Porto even Canterbury and Stratford Upon Avon and James’s walking tour is up there amongst the best
Excellent Tour!

We had a GREAT time with James on our tour! Not only was it a beautiful tour through the city, we got history, humor, architecture, and a look into the city’s journey that brought it into the present. Plus pub visits with great local beer and cider! Highly recommend James and this excursion!
James was fantastic, highly recommend

My mum and I went on the tour with James - he was fantastic! James had plenty of knowledge about Bath, from the historical sights to giving us great recommendations on where to eat/drink. Having the pub stops was great to chat to the others on the tour (only four of us all together!) and learn more about the history in a closer environment. Also having such a small group made it super easy to hear and ask more questions. Highly recommend!
