Blue Badge guided tour of Bath
Jim McFee was absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a personable, intelligent, clever guide, this is your guy. You’ll be lucky if you can book him because he stays so busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our custom tour.

Thank you so much Miriam!

Andy was an expert.
Our guide Andy was a history buff and an expert who adapted to our agenda of going off the beaten path. The tour time flew quickly and yet we felt relaxed and all learned so much along the way. We would definitely recommend booking the same tour with Andy or another Blue Badge guide.
Operator response
Hi Jaya, You are a beautiful family and I thank you for your feedback. I wish you all the very best. Take care. Andy

Walking tour with Andy
Andy was super Informative! He gave us so much history and detail of Bath and volunteered information about other parts of England too, when he heard what our travel plans were. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Operator response
It was my pleasure David to show off the beautiful city of Bath to you both, also to discuss your plans for travelling further into the UK, but also to hear of your life in the USA. Until our paths cross again!

Fabulous detailed overview of Bath
Jim, our extremely knowledgeable tour guide, was outstanding. We had a group of 8, perfect weather, and he was the perfect guide for us to get to know Bath. Loved Jim’s detailed history, the local stories, the sites of the city. It was like being in the midst of an excellent podcast where we could see and ask questions. Not only did we get to see all the highlights of the city, he gave us dining suggestions that were spot on. You walk away from this walking tour feeling like you know so much if not only the history of this wonderful city, but some local stories and behind the scenes looks. Perfect tour ~ a must do!
Operator response
Hi, Thank you so much for feedback and really pleased you enjoyed the tour and Jim's excellent guiding. I'll ensure your comments are passed onto Jim. Best wishes, Andy Clark Avalon Heritage Tours
