Hi! I moved to Bath with my family 28 years ago and have no intention of leaving ! I would love to share my love of this beautiful Unesco World Heritage city with you and have been guiding for about 12 years. My professional background was teaching German , some French and English so I have had plenty of experience of presenting and escorting groups here and in Europe. I have been fortunate to have travelled widely and have participated in many Guided Tours and Shore Excursions with other tourists from all over the world including Australia, New Zealand , Canada, USA, South America, India and China. These have made it clear to me what sort of tour I enjoy and I hope to offer you that type of tour. I'm told I speak very clearly, so there is no problem if you are not used to the English accent. I'm very keen to cater for guests with disabilities, so please let me know if you have any special needs. My tours are informative and I will tell you a lot about the history and architecture of Bath as we view the compact Georgian city, including Bath as Jane Austen experienced it or as in Bridgerton, if you are a fan . I bring the places we look at up to date by telling you what they are used for now and what life is like in Bath in modern times. I focus on the residents of Bath, past and present, and keep things light hearted with some stories.. Gardening is a passion too. I enjoy showing you my photo hot spots and the stunning views around Bath. I feel very lucky to live in such an amazing place and to meet people from all over the world. I am happy to do tours if required in German and French. I also speak some Spanish but it is far from perfect! You are welcome to bring your dog on my tours. My approach is friendly and professional and Tour Guiding is like an enjoyable hobby for me. B.A Honours. German with French. Postgraduate Certificate in Education I’m not a driver guide so just offer walking tours in Bath. Guides are not permitted to guide inside the Roman Baths Museum so do book online yourself snd use the Audio guides

This walking tour is an excellent introduction to visitors who are in Bath for the first time & I would be delighted to introduce you to its charms and share my enthusiasm for this special city. You will see why Bath deserves its Unesco World Heritage status. It is remarkable how much of the stunning 18th Century Georgian architecture remains and you will walk in the footsteps of many famous people who visited for 'The Season ' or lived here, including , of course, Jane Austen and recently the cast of Bridgerton !Bath is used frequently as a film location. You will learn so much about Bath, past and present. Your visit includes the Pump Room, Abbey, Sally Lunn's, Thermae Bath Spa, Theatre Royal, Queen Square, Royal Crescent, The Circus, Assembly Rooms, Pulteney Bridge, Great Pulteney Street, River Avon and we will stay outside. After or before the tour you may wish to visit the spectacular Roman Baths and can book your tickets online
Lovely day with Sue. She tailored the tour to our interests and was great at engaging with our 2 teen boys. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time to get the lay of the land in Bath and left us with time to tour the Roman Baths, enjoy a nice lunch (at a great place she recommended) and wander around the shops. We had a lovely day!
Great tour!!!
Merci pour ce tour de la ville en français. Vous êtes passionnée et vous connaissiez bien la ville et son histoire. Notre famille a apprécié la visite guidée de Nath.
Very informative and interesting tour supplemented by helpful insights presented with a positive and enjoyable demeanour
Sue was wonderful overall. She’s lived in Bath for quite a while and has much insight into the city. As a very personable guide we felt like we were walking with a friend. She was able to answer all our questions and got us acquainted so we could continue walking around on our own afterwards. Thank you Sue.
We had a wonderful walking tour of Bath with Susan and recommend her highly. She provided wonderful context for sights in Bath that we visited, which made the city come alive. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
I can meet you from your train, Charlotte St car park, in front of the Abbey or at your city centre hotel. Please request where when booking. Whilst I give an introduction to Bath's fascinating history, we will look at all the main attractions, stopping outside as I tell you about the places and the people who lived there. Much of the tour will naturally focus on the Georgian period and will include life in Bath as Jane Austen experienced it. There are plenty of photo opportunities. The tour is a walking tour and the following will be viewed from outside. *Bath Abbey *Pump Room, *Bathing Establishments and Hot Springs * The Circus * Royal Crescent * Pulteney Bridge * Assembly Rooms * Gravel Walk * And more. . . . ! This tour can be partially customized and to save time or energy we can use a taxi to go up the hill. (Cost less than £10 for the group. Recommended if starting at the station. ) If you would like a more relaxed or detailed tour of 2 and a half or 3 hours, please message me for a quote
