- chrisgL5069DL0 contributionsGreat tourSuch a great tour. Full of historical stories and interesting facts. Tour guide was great and answered all our questions. I fully recommened this tour.Written 9 December 2022
- N6325NJangelaw0 contributionsNice experienceEnjoyed it on my first visit to Bath. Was a very interesting experience and would definitely recommendWritten 10 June 2022
- coffeejules0 contributionsExcellent AttractionWe came about the sign for this whilst walking around the town of Bath. There were four of us two adults and two 18 year olds - we all loved it. very interesting and lucky for us there was no one else on the tour - so it was a practically a private tour - will recommend to all friends. Learnt loads and so interesting. A must for all visitors to Bath.Written 2 September 2019
- FWNYE0 contributionsThe Very Best tour of BathFantastic tour touching on the darker side of human nature and presented in a humorous and light hearted fashion. Thank you Simon for sharing your wealth of knowledge and showcasing Bath in a way that we will always remember and will share with our fellow kiwi travellers. We highly recommend this tour to all. it was definitely the highlight of our visit.Written 28 August 2019
- Blairchadwick0 contributionsUnique Bath walking tourWow! Really glad I went on this tour with my young daughter. Simon’s Bath is littered with dark and shady characters that you won’t find on the other generic tours in Bath. It started outside the pump rooms and took us all over Bath.. Highly recommended, he was also really lovely with my daughter who was captivated with his engaging style. If you go to Bath make sure you go on his tour.Written 1 August 2019
- Where_two_travel0 contributionsAn entertaining and refreshing look at Bath’s historyNot your typical walking tour of an old city. Simon shares some of the lesser known facts of Bath and it’s colourful characters that shaped its past. I have done walking tours before with large groups but this one was smaller, much more entertaining and informative. Would recommend it to any age group - well worth the 10 pound.Written 22 July 2019
- dantclarke10 contributionsGreat tourIt was Fantastic, i would really recommend this tour. It was entertaining and informative. It gave us a real feel for what the city used to be like as well as adding some other extra bits that wouldn't be in regular tours. Tours are more or less ever day, x3 a day at various times. Theres no need to pre book just turn, you can find Simon the guide out side the entrance to the baths. 5* tour!!Written 4 July 2019

Simon was very enthusiastic and inclusive, encouraging input from the whole group. I felt he succeeded in getting across the seediness of Georgian Bath, with a number of very interesting stories. Well worth it.

Simon was very knowledgeable, entertaining and informative. I always like to do a walking tour in a new place because it teaches us about where we are and it's history, and helps us appreciate the city for what it is. It also helps us to find our way around which means we get so much more out of our stay.
This tour is good value and highly recommended

My other half and I thoroughly enjoyed our walk around Bath with Simon. He has so much knowledge and information about the more unusual side of the city which is delivered in a fun and informative way. He is engaging and down to earth.
The walk around town is fairly easy with only one hill to climb (up to The Circus) but nothing too strenuous and its all done at a relaxed pace.
Thanks Simon for a lovely morning!

Simon was a fabulous guide. Funny, informed, and the time absolutely flew. I lived in Bath and visit several times a month but learned so many fascinating new things about the city I love. Highly Recommended. Thanks Simon!

My daughter and I were staying overnight in Bath as we were attending a gig at The Forum and decided to book Simon's Bad of Bath Walking Tour as the reviews were excellent and it sounded a very different tour to the others on offer. We also wanted to be out and about to make the most of the glorious weather November weather that was forecast.
We were not disappointed - with either the tour or the weather.
The sun shone as we walked around Bath at a gentle pace. Simon was funny, very knowledgeable, entertaining and definitely brought Bath's rather dodgy and less well-known history and characters to life, making it a truly informative and brilliant couple of hours. Highly recommend.

Simon was waiting for us in front of Bath Abbey. He has a warm personality, good energy and he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. He selected stories that gave context to our first visit to Bath…good sense of humor with historical details.
He was attentive and listened to our comments which allowed him to tailor the tour to our interests.
Don’t hesitate to schedule with Simon!

Myself and my partner have come to Bath for our anniversary, we decided to a book a walking tour to give us a feel of the city and I honestly think we picked the best one!
Our host was wonderful, he bought the history of Bath alive with his storytelling abilities. His passion for the history of the area was infectious as he involved the whole group, engaging each individual personally.
Highly recommend this experience!

I would think so as the tour is around the streets and roads. But I would check with the tour guide.l
