I have lived and worked in the South West of England for 16 years - much of that time as a broadcast journalist. So I know the people, places and culture of this region inside and out. My carefully curated, tried and tested Day Tours from Bath (see profile) allow you to visit the very best that this beautiful and historic region of England has to offer. Tour with me in the comfort of my luxury Mercedes touring vehicle and you will leave with memories that will last a lifetime. We'll explore stunning scenery, historic towns and villages, world famous sites and avoid the tourist places now overrun with coach tours from London. The UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath is the best base from which to explore The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, the hidden secrets of Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, and Wells (recently voted the UK's no. 1 visitor destination)… Jump on the direct train from London Paddington to Bath and let's begin the adventure! **All tours start and end in Bath or Bristol **Alternative nearby start/end locations can be discussed at the extra cost of a customised tour **London or Heathrow pickup/drop off is NOT available Choose from: - Private tour to Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circles from Bath - Private tours to the Cotswolds from Bath - Private tours to Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar Gorge from Bath - Private tour to Blenheim Palace from Bath - Private tour to Wales from Bath International Certification in Tour Guide Excellence from Aquila's Centre for Excellence; Member of Mayor of Bath's Corps of Honorary Guides; Local authority Operator, Driver and Vehicle Private Hire licences; Fully insured: 'Hire and Reward' and Public Liability'.

Adventure into the truly beautiful and unique country of Wales, or 'Cymru', as you make the short journey across the border. Shaped by its people and its history, this fiercely spirited land has been a frontier for centuries that has captivated historians, poets and songwriters. Explore breathtaking ruins and outstanding natural landscapes as you sample a corner of Britain where tourism has yet to fully take hold. Enjoy a traditional pub lunch in a scenic location.
Shortly after leaving Bath we cross over the Severn Bridge into the Principality of Wales. Our first stop is at impressive Chepstow Castle, perched along a limestone cliff above the River Wye. Immerse yourself in this picturesque and beautifully preserved stone fortress, which dates back over 900 years. We continue our journey down the Wye Valley towards romantic Tintern Abbey. This masterpiece of British Gothic architecture was ravaged during the Reformation under King Henry VIII. Today, the soaring arches and lancet windows will still take your breath away. Fairytale Raglan Castle is the grandest ever built by Welshmen. This opulent palace, designed to impress, was left in ruins after a brutal Civil War siege. Wander the ramparts and enjoy panoramic views. Glimpse Wales' Roman past at Caerleon Amphitheatre, where former blood-soaked gladiatorial entertainment meets the legend of King Arthur. We will, of course, stop for lunch at an historic local inn/pub.
