An Enjoyable and Informative Tour of Bath!
Today we had the pleasure of attending a walking tour of Bath with Justin of “In & Beyond Bath” tours. Justin is a wonderful and friendly tour guide who made us feel comfortable and at ease from the moment we met until the completion of the tour. He is very knowledgeable about all of the past and present history of Bath and its neighborhoods and architecture. He also customized the tour to our liking. We highly recommend walking Bath with him!

From the first, our experience with Simon was superb. Simon's knowledge of the places we toured is extraordinary, and he delivers it all with such enthusiasm that we couldn't help but be dazzled. At every place and moment, we felt solidly in the hands of a highly skilled travel professional. On time every time, well prepared and informed, Simon delivered total white glove handling befitting a luxury travel experience. Thank you, Simon, and thank you In and Beyond Bath company. We will be back.

Short and Sweet Tour
Justin showed my 88 year old mother and I around Bath. He was so very kind, warm and attentive to both of us but especially my mother. Our visit was just long enough to get the highlights of the city and short enough to enjoy every single moment.

We're absolutely delighted to hear how kind and attentive Justin was with you and your mother, and that the tour struck just the right balance, long enough for the highlights and short enough to savour every moment.

Walking tour of Bath- Excellent
My mother(very active 80 yr old) and I enjoyed a wonderful tour walking tour of Bath with Justin. We booked a 2 hour walking tour with emphasis on Jane Austen, but Justin was able to provide so much more than that. He provided a lovely walking tour of Bath with a tremendous amount of historical information about Bath, the links to Jane Austen and her family's time in Bath and very interesting fact and stories about the development of Bath. He was very patient and accommodated our walking pace and interests. We made several interesting stops along the way. We would absolutely recommend Justin and In and Beyond Bath tours for any of your interests. They are top notch, professional, extremely knowledge, friendly and a wonderful way to experience a new location. The communication from booking through meeting and the tour was perfect. We will return and use them again. If you're lucky enough to get Justin, enjoy your tour!
Operator response

Highly recommend the History and Highlights of Bath tour
This was the perfect two hour tour of the city of Bath. Our lovely guide Maggie brought the history of Bath alive as she showed us the key sights and told us stories of the people who built and lived there. This tour had something for everyone in our family-- history, architecture, Jane Austen and Bridgerton.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review.
It was such a pleasure to spend a few hours with you and your children reminded me of everything I loved about teaching! I know you're in Stowe for another week and I hope that you have an amazing remainder of your trip and look forward to welcoming you again soon!
Many thanks, and best wishes,
Maggie and the team x

Wonderful and exciting walking tour of bath
My 17 year old and I spend an enjoyable morning with Mike learning about Bath.. off the beaten tourist track. It was wonderful to hear about the layers of history, walk the canals, see the 7 hills and learn about the architecture and history. Easy to do the baths themselves without a guide. I would highly recommend Mike and this tour group. Very engaging and super responsive. Great day in Bath
Operator response
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you and your daughter had a great time and enjoyed the route. I hope you had a safe trip back to London and then to America and your daughter enjoys her time in Spain.
Thanks

Lovely way to spend a morning in Bath
My niece and I went on a tour of Bath with Heather as our guide. It was a gentle tour, with lots of entertaining, sometimes gory, tales and historical information which gave us a feel for how it was to live in Georgian Bath. Included a visit to Beau Nash silver shop and an interesting chat with Duncan Campbell about the history of silver. Had a break for cup of tea half way through. Also came away with lots of ideas for things to do on our second day in Bath. Can recommend.
