What an excellent tour. Our guide, Susan was engaging and very knowledgable. Thoroughly worth the 2 hours of our time in Bath. Fabulous city.
Our guide shared extensive knowledge of Bath and surrounding areas. Info was exactly what we were hoping for.
We loved the tour of Bath but unfortunately we were not prepared for the rain at all & had to cut our time with the group short. Owen was a fantastic guide & the information he shared and his enthusiastic delivery made our Bath experience even better. Thank you
Susan was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the history and architecture of Bath. About 2 hours long which was good timing.
We were a group of 8 friends visiting Bath on the final day of the Jane Austin Festival and we enjoyed a terrific walking tour of the city. It was a little unclear where to meet but our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We all loved it more than we expected.
We really enjoyed the walking tour and Victoria was such a great storyteller, so knowledgeable, warm and friendly. We liked the extra details and included all thr highlights of Bath. Thank you
Absolutely brilliant tour by guide Owen who was very knowledgeable and informative but also amusing.
Very informative Our tour guide Elinor was a very enthusiastic tour guide She showed us the highlights of Oxford University
Was very informative and we covered a lot of ground. Guide Victoria was funny and very knowledgeable about architecture and people. Would definitely recommend
Our tour guide Victoria was most engaging and very knowledgeable about Bath’s history. We highly recommend tours with her. The only challenge is Bath was very crowded on a Saturday, so next time we’ll visit during the week and hope it’s less crowded. Beautiful and historic city!
We loved our tour today! Our guide, Andrew, had many interesting stories and historical facts to share. We felt we had a good overview of the city. Andrew really put the history of Bath in context for us. And he kept perfect time, so we were at the end of the tour in 2 hours on the dot. It was a good value and I would certainly recommend it to others.
our tour guide Mr Owen Bowles was really knowledgable,friendly ,funny and shared lots of interesting stories about city's history and landmarks. I would highly recommend the tour to Bath visitors.
Andy was an excellent guide. He shared his deep knowledge of Bath in an interesting and engaging way. I learned so much! We appreciated the care he took to keep the group safe as we navigated the narrow footpaths and busy streets.
Very informative ..if travellers dont know about history of bath..Owen knows his stuff and obviously enjoys his job
Jess was an amazing tour guide!!! Her welcoming, cheerful demeanor, her knowledge & enthusiasm, her energy. It was all great! She even came to talk to us about a few things after the tour was over at a restaurant where we were having dinner. Above and beyond! Bath is such a beautiful city, and we loved having her show us her lovely town!
This was such a wonderful way to experience Bath. The tour covered a really engaging mix of the city’s history, the wider region, and some of the important people who have lived in Bath over the years. I’ve visited Bath several times before, but I still learned so many things I had never heard on previous trips. The tour was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and it gave me a much deeper appreciation for the city and its history. Jane was a fantastic guide – incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and lovely to spend time with. I’d definitely recommend this tour to both first-time visitors and people who already know Bath fairly well.
Our guide, Owen, was incredible. His passion and enthusiasm for Bath was clear. He gave us great information in an understandable and sometimes humorous way. He was amazing! Highly recommend!
Owen, our guide was a well informed local historian, who was informative and entertaining, who used humour appropriately and answered all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would recommend him to others.
A very interesting gentle walking tour round Bath. We did it on our 1st day and itvreally set the tone for the rest of our trip. Susan was a brilliant guide and as a Jane Austin fan she also had a few bits of info which was just right if you are a group where not everyone likes Jane Austin!

Our tour guide, Andy, was knowledgeable and friendly. I think if the other people on our tour were more engaged and mobile, it would have been a better tour. It was good, but I think we missed some of the engagement we enjoy on our tours.
The walking tour was exceptional, and our guide, Susan, provided a highly engaging and informative experience. She meticulously detailed various aspects, ranging from Bath Abbey to the architectural nuances, gardens, and the Roman Baths, among other points of interest. We were thoroughly impressed and found the experience to be highly enjoyable.
Andy was a wonderful tour guide – both knowledgable and naturally funny! He presented an overview of Bath's history without relying on trite talking points or lame puns. Great value. Would highly recommend!
Great experience! The guide was very knowledgeable and provided great information! I would recommend this.
It’s tour guides like her (forgive me for forgetting her name at the moment…I have a lot going on) that make history accessible and enjoyable for all! Wouldn’t have wanted to explore Bath any other way in the short amount of time that we had there.
A great walking tour to understand how Bath has evolved over the centuries. Our guide Andy is knowledgeable and deeply connected to the area giving tourists a keen insight into Bath’s history. Highly recommend this tour to those who want to know a bit more about Bath.
Great tour with Andrew, who was very knowledgeable and engaging. We saw all the key sights and heard about the history of Bath in an easy two hour wander. The weather was terrible with heavy rain showers but Andrew really worked hard to keep us all interested and sheltered where possible. The odd bit of humour thrown in also helped keep our spirits up! Really enjoyed it.
Andy was great! Very informative and made the tour both interesting and fun. Would recommend to anyone interested in the history of Bath
Our guide was friendly and very informative... The tour added a lot to my experience with moth Bath.
It was a real pleasure walking the tour with Owen who was knowledgeable and charismatic. I felt I knew so much about Bath after the tour which was over 2 hours long and at a brisk pace. I would certainly recommend this tour for anyone interested in finding out so much about Bath.
Good orientation. Knowledgeable guide. Beautiful town.
Our guide Owen was super knowledgeable about the area, really funny and had great energy! He made sure we all were having fun and answered a ton of questions. It really set the tone for our trip to Bath and I left with a far greater appreciation for the history, culture, architecture, and heritage of the area. Would totally recommend this !
The tour is very comprehensive in the route through the city and is extremely informative about Bath's long history. Victory was exceedingly friendly, knowledgeable, and brought Bath's history alive. She is a terrific guide and a very valuable asset to promoting Bath as a visitors destination! Thank you for a great tour, Ken, Lin and Paris ( Pet friendly tour- how nice)
Jess was just a fantastic guide and clearly loves what she does! I learnt so much and I had so much fun throughout the tour! Thank you Jess for being one the best guides I’ve ever had!
Very comprehensive. Very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable guide. Very fast walking from site to site..
Jess was our guide and was full of energy and made the walking tour fun. Learnt a lot about Bath’s history which hopefully I will retain. Deffo recommend if you want to see some of the beautiful Georgian buildings and hear stories of the city’s past.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. She took us around Bath knowing facts about every little section we went to.
Jess was EXCELLENT! If we could give her 10 stars we would. The tour was energetic, funny, and insightful. A perfect blend of history, superb storytelling, and fun. Book it now!

Jess was the BEST guide. Entertaining & informative. Cannot recommend enough.
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.
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.
Really excellent , fun, engaging walking tour of Bath, Jess was an amazing guide and story teller, she had our whole group enthralled. Jess put so much effort and energy into the tour. We honestly had such a brilliant time. Thank you Jess!
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!
Jess is amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Our family included our 13 year old son. She is very informative and has an engaging delivery. We learned so much.
Jess Seaton was a fantastic tour guide: lively, enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and funny.
Jess was amazing! She has such great energy and enthusiasm for what she does, and provided amazing context for Bath. Would 100000% go on any tour with her.
Take this tour and ask for Jess as your guide. She made the history of Bath entertaining! We give her 10 stars!
