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.

An excellent introduction to Bath
Oct 2020
Simon is a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Bath - not just the 'Bad' bits. And here are lots of 'bad' bits! Gambling, corruption, prostitution, pick pockets and death!
The tour was just the right length and took us around all the key tourist spots.
Bath is quite hilly but we managed it fairly easily.
Very good value.

Find your way around early in your stay
Sept 2020
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

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.

We love walking tours filled with fun, fact-filled stories. This tour did not disappoint. We laughed and we listened. We sympathized with the poor people who supported the rich. Don't miss a great and educational time!

Simon was a wonderful, charming guide! My daughter and I enjoyed his sunny personality on a cloudy day, not to mention his humor and his sharing of the “rest of the story”. Thank you for making our trip to Bath even more enjoyable.

Top class entertaining walk. Simon made the bad of Bath come alive from 3 centuries ago and gave us a great understanding of how Bath developed and was the Las Vegas of its time. Not just your average guided walk - great fun
