Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Culture, food and language. The best way to spend a holiday.

My wife Regina and I spent 3 weeks in the UK to improve our English and get to know the country and culture. The highlight was 2 days with Bath Insider Tours. With a local like Daniel as our tour guide, it was an unforgettable experience.

A Sensational Bridgerton Tour!!!! Would book again!!!!
Oct 2023 • Family
Daniel was an amazing tour guide. He was very attentive and easy to talk to and with. He made the whole group feel at ease and spoke with all of the group members personally when walking to the next location. His extra touch with the film clips and photos made it even more special. Even those who hadn't watched Bridgerton enjoyed themselves (and some went home to watch it straight away) as Daniel shared historical info too.

Stonehenge at its best!
Oct 2023 • Family
Daniel is a great guide! Great communication before the trip, timely pick-up at our hotel, smooth ride to Stonehenge with bits of information tossed in along the way. He explained Stonehenge thoroughly, and he had great pointers for photos, too. We highly recommend him to others.

Tour exceeded expectations!
Oct 2023 • Couples
Take a tour with Daniel Hancock! Highlight of our week in England. We did the Bath and Stonehenge tour, and it was fantastic. Daniel gave a thorough explanation of all sites visited, and he added his knowledge with photos, videos, clever anecdotes and even snacks of local cheese! One of us lost a nail file in the car unknowingly, but he dropped it off at our hotel the next morning. Very attentive, funny, kind, and knowledgeable. We will certainly hire him again for another tour when we are back. Also, we had a group of four, and his car was roomy, and comfy. Hire him!

Interesting and fun tour
Fantastic way to see the sights of Bath for nearly 2 hours. Daniel was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We enjoyed our quiz even if my group got zero!

Amazing Day learning about Prehistoric Britain!
Sep 2023 • Family
We had an amazing day with Daniel as our guide! The weather was perfect (which I know he doesn't control, but it started out not so good). He took us to Avebury and the West Kennet Long Barrow. We stopped for a delightful lunch in a quintessential small British town pub and finally, saved the best for last, Stonehenge.

Daniel very patiently answered ALL of our many questions (even when the answers were "nobody knows") and was great with my often overly quiet teenager, trying to get him out of his shell. I was impressed with how much research he seems to put into his tours. Very often he'd mention speaking with an archeologist or historian, or even exploring other areas on his own.

For an extra fee, Daniel even ended up driving us onto our next hotel instead of taking us back to Bath which was a huge load off of my shoulders!

I find myself wanting to return to Bath simply to take another tour with Daniel! 15 out of 10 day!!

Thank you for your 15 out of 10 score Emily! It was a real pleasure showing you and your son around the prehistoric sites of Avebury and Stonehenge. I hope you both had a great cruise back to the US. Do let me know if you are ever back in the area and I will be delighted to show you more of the West Country. Wishing you many more great travel experiences, Daniel.

Fabulous 2 day custom tour with Daniel
Sep 2023 • Friends
Daniel is an amazing tour guide. He customized a 2 day tour so we were able to see what we wanted. We started off with an early morning Inner Circle Stonehenge tour. This was a must. Daniel is very knowledgeable and I love his attention to detail. He organized the tour that if there were any down pours, we could easily duck into different places. It all worked out. We visited Stourhead, Salisbury Cathedral and Magna Carta. We also visited Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow, LaCock, Cotswolds. We had a lot of fun and all the places we ate at were delicious. I had the best cream tea and we had a traditional Sunday Roast. We also loved all the dinner places he recommended in Bath. The 5 of us were comfortable in his vehicle and he's a very safe driver. He also provided umbrellas for all of us. I had tweaked my knee and he was very accommodating, so everyone got what they needed and wanted. I highly recommend his tours and he can customize places you may want to see. We all had a great time and would love to come back to Bath and surrounding area and would definitely book tours with Daniel again.
