Bringing history to life-a fantastic tour
Our guide Jane Richardson was incredible. A long time local with a deep knowledge of the city and its history. She really brought the city to life. She had a portfolio of pictures to give context to the tour. We walked at a nice pace and she answered all of our questions. Her passion for history was contagious. Highly recommend the 2 hour tour, which gave us a great tour of Bath’s many wonders and enough time to take it all in. Thank you so much Jane!
