Easy pace. Very relaxing. Beautiful countryside. Lovely little villages. My guide Daniel Hanson was the best guide I ever had!
Thank you for your wonderful review Linda - I am honoured to have been your best guide to date! It was a real delight spending 3 days with you and showing you around Bath and the surrounding area. Do let me know if you are ever back this way. Wishing you many more wonderful travel experiences, Daniel.
My wife and I just completed a wonderful three day private tour of the Cotswolds (3 Day West Country Private Tour) with Bath Insider Tours. Our guide was the tour company’s owner, Daniel Hancock, who is a resident of the historic city of Bath. Having traveled extensively throughout the world, we can honestly say that this was one of our most delightful tours! Daniel is not just an informative and very knowledgeable guide, he is a very friendly and charming fellow. By the end of our three days together, we felt we had not only gotten a fabulous tour, but more importantly, we had made a friend. Indeed, we were sorry when our third day came to an end. We cannot recommend Daniel more highly! Book this tour and you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for this wonderful review and recommendation Dick! It was a real pleasure taking you both on a 3 day tour of Bath and the surrounding area. I hope you have lots of wonderful memories from your trip. Have a fantastic time celebrating an important milestone later this year, if you are ever back this way again do let me know! Wishing you many more wonderful travel experiences together, Daniel.

Thank you for your fantastic review and recommendation Richard, I am honoured to be ranked among some of the most delightful tours you have ever taken! It was a real delight taking you both on a 3 day tour of Bath and the surrounding area. I hope you got lots of great footage for your Christmas video and have lots of wonderful memories from the trip. If you are back this way again do let me know! Wishing you many more great travel experiences together, Daniel.
Daniel was the most amazing guide while we toured Bath, Glastonbury and Stone Henge. His knowledge and all around good humor made for a most amazing trip. We learned so much. Daniel was able to customize our days just for us. I would highly recommend using Bath Insider Tours. Excellent!
Thank you for your fantastic review and recommendation Janet! It was a real delight customising a 2 day tour for you and showing you around Bath and the surrounding area. Thank you for sharing some of your photos! I hope you both had an amazing time on the rest of your trip. If you are ever back this way do let me know. Wishing you many more great experiences together, Daniel.
If we could give Daniel a 10, we would, but five is the highest 😁. We spent three full days with him, and he was unfailingly thoughtful, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. He showed us Bath, of course, Stonehenge, the highlights of Wells and Cheddar, and a wonderful experience at a falconry with a hawk named Charlie. He even customized our trip so that we could visit a farm that we were interested in, and that was very special for us. There are areas that we weren’t able to see in those three days and we are seriously thinking of exploring those with him at some point. We really wish him the best in his business.
Ahh, thank you Marla! It was a real delight spending 3 days with you both and showing you around Bath and some of the many wonderful places in the area. I hope you have an incredible time in London and Ireland. If you are ever back this way again do let me know! Wishing you many more amazing travelling experiences, Daniel.
I cannot say enough good things about our tour of Bath and the West Country with Daniel ! His deep familiarity and knowledge of the area, along with terrific organizational skills, took us to so many significant sites and extraordinary scenes. No time was wasted trying to read maps or call for transportation. Lunch was arranged at a historic pub/cafe each day, with a range of meal choices. He is courteous, well prepared, and charming. He looked out for our comfort, and easily picked up on our personal interests at the various sights. He was able to secure a room upgrade at an historic Georgian hotel to include in his overall tour fee, and recommended areas we could explore for dinner. I feel we have a new friend, who has shared his home city with us in the most expansive way.
Thank you for this lovely review Teresa and for sharing your great photos. It was a real delight spending 3 days with you both. The West Country is a beautiful and fascinating area! I hope you have fun introducing the game of "conker-fights" in the home of buckeyes! Wishing you many more wonderful experiences and trips together, Daniel.
Daniel’s 3 Day tour exceeded our expectations! He is a very knowledgeable, personable and attentive guide! The Bath / Wells area is beautiful and we were definitely shown the highlights. Daniel modified our itinerary slightly as we went along and as he got to know us better. I will say the hike to the top of the Cheddar Gorge turned out to be a highlight! We really enjoyed staying in Bath at Dukes. Daniel was also able to give us a number of restaurant choices. We had been on a 12 night cruise before meeting Daniel. We appreciated viewing the countryside, Stonehenge, quaint pubs and villages on our land excursion! We would recommend Daniel and any of his tour options to those who would like to experience a bit more if the Bath area.
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation Joan. It was a real delight showing you both around Bath and some of the beautiful and fascinating sites in the area. Thank you for sharing the photo - the Cheddar Gorge is my favourite scenery! I wish you both many more wonderful experiences and memories (& lychee martinis!) Sending you best wishes from Bath, Daniel.
Daniel is amazing. Very prompt, knowledgable and takes care of your every need. I would fully recommend using Daniel for any of his tours.
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation Tom and Susan. It was lovely spending 3 days with you and showing you around Bath and the beautiful attractions nearby. I hope you enjoy all the cheese and chocolate! Wishing you both many more great travelling experiences, Daniel.
After arriving at the Southampton cruise terminal, we were met by Daniel who picked us up and whisked us off to Stonehenge for the first part of our 3 day private tour. Daniel owns the company and was born and raised in Bath so his knowledge of the area is excellent. He took care of all the details, including reservations at a wonderful bed & breakfast in Bath (Duke's Bath), reservations at local pubs or restaurants for lunch, and planned a wonderful itinerary for us. Major highlights were Stonehenge, Wells, Cheddar, Bath and a falconry on the grounds that Prince Charles owns. He also took us on country roads, hiked up the mountain to see Cheddar Valley, and many other unique and wonderful sites. We have traveled all over the world, taken many private and group tours, and I can honestly say Daniel's tour was one of the best. I would not hesitate to take another tour with him!
Many thanks for your wonderful review and recommendation Kathy. It was a real pleasure meeting all of you and showing you around Bath and the West Country. I think you may have a calling as a falconer! I hope you had an amazing cruise back home. Wishing you all many more wonderful travelling experiences together, Daniel.
This was our first time traveling to England and my wife and I figured, lets do this right. Disembarking from the QM2 at Southampton we were met by Daniel, on time, prepared and a well versed tour guide. He owns the company and is local to the area, born and raised in Bath. He drove us places that I could not find again if I tried. Narrow country roads, farm produce stands, major attractions and each and everyone was delightful, well planned and very British. We are walkers and he delivered a diverse and interesting agenda, they only thing out his control was the weather, but he was even prepared for that, providing rain gear and umbrellas out of his well stocked backpack. The only concern I had was prior to us booking the trip. A no refund policy was something that caused me to hesitate. His company is small, and he needs to reserve hotel space in advance during peak travel periods, all of which is nonrefundable to him. But he delivered 100% on his advertised tour, and then some, it way better than we anticipated and he runs a very good operation.
Many thanks for your wonderful review Paul & Kathy. It was a real pleasure meeting you both and showing you around Bath, Stonehenge and the delights of the surrounding area. I hope you had a great time in London and back in Southampton. Thank you for your feedback on the cancellation policy. After your tour I spoke to Viator about this but unfortunately they are not able to amend the policy to reflect the cancellation deadlines that are imposed on my business by the hotels in Bath. If this is troubling anyone who is considering booking this tour please do contact me directly. Paul & Kathy - I wish you many more amazing travelling experiences together and if you are ever back this way - do let me know!
