The World Heritage City of BATH, the historic port and city of BRISTOL, ancient STONEHENGE, the picturesque COTSWOLDS, SALISBURY CATHEDRAL and the MAGNA CARTA, WELLS and GLASTONBURY; just some of the local highlights I can share with you. I am a 'top of the range' UK 'Blue Badge Guide', the highest professional qualification for tour guiding in the UK (see Credentials). You have the comfort and security of knowing that I am fully trained, licensed, insured and accredited with all the relevant tourism authorities, with many years experience. I am a genuine 'local'. I grew up and went to school here and I served locally as a police officer for 30 years. I know the region inside out, including many of the hidden corners, local stories and unexpected gems rarely mentioned in guide books. My own travelling has included much of Europe, including some of Eastern Europe 'post-communism', 21 states of the USA, Canada (Vancouver to Nova Scotia), Australia, New Zealand, India, Morocco, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mauritius so I know what it is like to be a visitor in unfamiliar territory! I have published a number of suggested tours which may be booked as read. Alternatively you are welcome to treat them as templates to amend to suit your wishes. Some can be adapted as SHORE EXCURSIONS from cruise ships docked in Bristol. Please note that prices quoted assume pick-up and drop-off is local to Bath/Bristol. All tours are private, exclusive and personal. Tapping into my local knowledge and contacts allows us to cut corners so that you can concentrate on the "must-do's" instead of wasting precious time plodding through brochures, schedules, and websites. You can opt for one of my listed tours, or I welcome the opportunity to work with you to create a customised tour to match your interests, schedule or pace. I am always open to the possibility of doing something special or 'out of the ordinary' - and can even start from scratch. If transport is necessary I can hire a vehicle and driver so that I can concentrate on ensuring you are able to enjoy the tour, without worrying about traffic hold-ups and parking. Feel free to 'message' me - without obligation - for a memorable, stress-free and enjoyable tour. I look forward to hearing from you. *UK "Blue Badge" registered tourist guide. *Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding *Member of the British Guild of Tourist Guides *Completed Disability Awareness Training Course by VisitEngland/Bath Tourism Plus. Certificate awarded; 'Customer Service to Disabled Visitors'. *Blue Badge Guide endorsement - Wells Cathedral *Certificate from Disclosure & Barring Service - no criminal convictions *Fully vaccinated anti-Covid - booster Oct 2025 I am based Bath/Bristol. Where transport is required I can arrange for private executive class transport appropriate for the number of passengers, and driver.

Overview of your Bath tour

Two famous UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites in one day - a real double-whammy! I was a local 'bobby' in Bath and I have visited Stonehenge since long before it was managed as it is today. I remember when it was possible to stop on the road and enjoy a picnic among the stones! We spend time walking Bath's 18th-century streets and soak up the spa culture of two thousand years ago when the Roman Baths complex was constructed. Following a short break for lunch, we drive to ancient Stonehenge and wander around the prehistoric stones before returning to Bath.
