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.

Absolutely fantastic! I found Simon to be an excellent tour guide, balancing both lighthearted humour & facts very well. The tour felt very personalised as Simon was great at acquainting with everyone in the group and making the tour as interactive as possible. We got to see lots of sites around the city that we hadn't otherwise seen and it was great to find out the stories linked to the areas around the city. Great story telling throughout- couldn't recommend a better tour! One of the highlights of our stay in Bath! Thanks so much for having us 😊

Simon was brilliant. He was extremely engaging, informative and witty. We learnt so much in the time but in a very relaxed way. We would recommend this tour to anyone as Simon will draw you in!

This is the best walking tour we have done - don't miss it. Funny, fascinating and full of facts. We learnt so much in such a short time and Simon brought the history of Bath alive.

An informative and fun tour. Simon was awesome and so knowledgeable. If you want a walking tour which tells you about the ordinary people who lived in Bath and not just the elite few then this is the tour for you. Quite a few revaluations and insights which you wouldn’t get on a regular tour. Would 100% recommend.

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 a great guide! It felt like we were meeting an old friend who took us round to show us the sights. He was engaging, interesting, bursting with enthusiasm and friendly. There were just two of us on the tour and we've been in situations like this before where the tour has been cancelled but instead Simon gave us a private tour. I'd recommend the tour to anyone at the start of a visit to Bath to get the lay of the land and give you a good feel for what you might want to do later. We were lucky with the weather. I guess the sun shines in the righteous! Thanks, Simon.

Would highly recommend this tour with Simon. He is very engaging and knowledgeable and was excellent with our 2 children (aged 8 and 5). He pitched it perfectly making it enjoyable for adults and kids alike. Thank you Simon!
