Excursão pela antiga Grã-Bretanha - viagem de um dia privado de Bath

My wife and I were privileged to have Daniel be our guide for a full day discovering the history of Bath and the many prehistoric/geological ruins of the area. Daniel is a very knowledgable and genuine person with stories about the region. You will learn and see so much with him. You will not be disappointed! The highlight was a personal exclusive visit to Stonehenge at dusk. Beyond belief! We were inside these magical standing stones. Daniel made our trip even more special. Don’t hesitate…he’s a busy guy!

We chose the Ancient Britain tour, and honestly I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing this tour was! Daniel is such a kind, friendly and engaging person and he really makes you feel like a VIP! The pickup from our hotel in Bath was timely and seamless, from the start I knew it would be a good day, along the way he gave us value information about the area and pointed out all sorts of things. First stop was Cherhill Chalk Horse, then to Avebury which is way more than just stones, then to Kennet long barrow Neolithic tomb (it’s a bit of a hike, and the path had some water at the time due to rains, but he came prepared with wading boots aka Wellies for everyone) he was kind, slow and very patient as we made our way up the hill (I needed a rest break due to heart condition). His preparation and patience was more than exceptional! Next it was off to a wonderful cozy centuries old thatched roof pub for an amazing Yorkshire pudding wrap (with the best gravy). After that, it was on to Stonehenge! Stonehenge was utterly amazing and I felt so happy seeing it, I can’t even explain how magical it was! It has been a dream for my husband to see and he was blown away by the feeling you get at Stonehenge. It’s truly a magical place! It was also extra nice having a guide to tell you about all things Stonehenge, I liked that we went later in the day, so we practically had the place to ourselves (Daniel timed it perfectly). Daniel was one of the kindest people I have never come across, he goes the extra mile to make you feel special! I would highly recommend him for any tour! You will not be sorry you toured with Daniel at Bath Insider Tours! Best ever!!

My wife and I took the Bath Insider Tours "Ancient Britain Tour" with local guide Dan Hancock. I've studied and been fascinated by Avebury and Stonehenge for as long as I can remember, but Dan's guidance and historical commentary exceeded all expectations. Besides being a virtual fountain of knowledge regarding these and other prehistoric sites we visited, Dan was a great conversationalist and kept us entertained throughout or tour with facts and stories regarding the locales we encountered. This tour was worth every bit of the time and investment, and we highly recommend it, and Dan, to anyone with an interest in the area and subject matter.

We had a terrific day with Daniel. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work, and we appreciated both. Seeing Stonehenge was a bucket list item!

We set up a full day custom tour with Dan. He picked us up at the Bath train station and we proceeded to have a perfect day. Avebury, Salisbury Cathedral, and finally, an inside the stones tour at Stonehenge. If at all possible, do the special tour at Stonehenge - it’s positively awesome! Dan added a number of extra stops, including white horses and long barrows. Book a trip with him and relax, you’re in great hands. This is the best money you can spend - you will see things and learn things that would be very hard to do on your own. Watch out for tanks roaming the countryside, though!

Really pleased with this tour! I wanted the complete Neolithic picture and Daniel delivered. It wasn't enough to just check landmarks off a list. The opportunity to see West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill and Avebury in addition to Stonehenge really puts into perspective the level of craftsmanship and importance these structures have on the landscape of the country, and how they persist particularly on the landscapes of our mind: I've often had so many questions about these structures and the ancient peoples who created them, and I felt Daniel's commentary and knowledge helped form a framework for me to parse out answers (when they are to be had) amidst the prevailing theories and current research that exists. It's evident that there are many mysteries about stonehenge, but what isn't a mystery is the service that Bath Insider Tours provides. I never felt stupid when I realized I had wrong information, I felt it was okay to ask questions, I felt it was okay to be excited and enthused and overly intrigued and curious. I felt Daniel cared about what we were getting out of this tour rather than just going through a rote rehearsal or simply reciting things. He was kind to allow me to grab souvenirs when I could to remember my trip by, take pictures, and showed us little extra detour things that felt like we were on a journey within our trip. He really listened and tailored information towards our perspective while managing to enhance ours. I'm so glad we booked this tour. We are really grateful for the experience. Thank you for sharing with us.

I'm not one for writing reviews, but I've felt guilty because Daniel's tours were VERY good. Besides the Ancient Britain tour , he took us on a tour for gardens. I wanted to see the ancient ruins and my cousin wanted to see the different style gardens South of Bath. He knew the history of the sites and made the information come alive. Although he said he was not an expert on the gardens, the second days tours was excellent.

Daniel is an excellent guide! Extremely knowledgeable, witty and a genuine gentleman. He deserves more than a five star rating!! He showed us everything we wanted to see from Avebury to Stonehenge and places in between. When we come back we will definitely look him up for another tour.

We appreciated Daniel’s friendly and calm demeanor. He made us feel welcome right away and was sensitive to our needs throughout the day (walking pace, rain gear, bio breaks, etc). This tour is an excellent way to see several important sites efficiently without the stress of renting a car and navigating unfamiliar roads as a tourist. If we return to the region, we would take another tour with Daniel. Thank you.

I can say that it was a most interesting and wonderful day! Daniel is knowledgeable, kind and a gentleman and we learned a tremendous amount. Don’t hesitate it is worth dedicating your day to this adventure!
