5.00My wife and I had an excellent private tour to Glastonbury. Daniel shared his wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the historic sites and the region. He is a most pleasant and witty guy. The transportation was clean and comfortable and on time. Highly recommend this tour and Daniel's operation.
Magical and Historical and Beautiful

5.00Dan was a professional and knowledgeable guide. We went to Glastonbury from Bath. He related all his background in an enjoyable manner. His driving skills are to be well trusted and he knows and shows the beautiful towns , countryside and important sights as well as travel. Glastonbury is so different, so magical and quirky. There is no other place like it. We were shown the ruins of the Abbey, the Tor on the Hill, the Chalice. There is so much history and legendary tales. Dan knows them all. Dan also paces the tour to your walking ability. We’re sorry the time with Dan is over but we are going to return to another tour of his. Thank you, Dan. Paul and Stephanie
Enchanting and Informative

5.00Visited Glastonbury with the help of Bath Insider Tours, and it was a lyrical and quirky outing we won't soon forget. Daniel was prepared at every stage, even helping us prep what to expect for hiking the famous Glastonbury Tor. We also were given a wealth of information about Glastonbury Abbey, and Daniel's keen use of visual aids and excellent commentary helped us reimagine the powerful ruins. While Glastonbury is certainly offbeat, I never felt stupid or silly for wanting to explore it further, especially when I wanted to satisfy my curiosity and investigate the gardens at Chalice Well. He even had cups on hand so we could sample the well's healing water, and had an alternate idea waiting in the wings if we wanted something different. This visit was pure wish fulfillment, and the magic of Glastonbury is that dreams DO come true! Couldn't imagine taking this tour with anyone different, Daniel was kind and professional and respectful!
Well knowledgeable and personal tour!

5.00Dan provided such a warm and personal tour! Very knowledgeable throughout our tour and was able to show us off the beaten path. He was willing to detour to show us new things as well. We shared such a wonderful afternoon in Glastonbury and had a clean and comfortable car. I would love to have another tour with him in the future!

5.00Daniel is a wealth of knowledge. He is a warm, friendly person. We booked with him for Glastonbury on a Tuesday afternoon and Stonehenge on the following morning. He was very considerate of our status as Super Adults. He allowed us to go at our pace, we never felt rushed. Even when we climbed to the top of the Tor and I had to stop and rest a few times. We felt like we were with a friend not just a tour guide.
