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'.

Overview of your Bath tour

Be transported to another time and to another world. Visit the ancestral home of the Dukes of Marlborough, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a British cultural treasure. Blenheim Palace is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. This tour is unaccompanied, yet you can experience a multi-media tour of the Palace State Rooms and wonder at the priceless art collection. Enjoy a walk through the tranquil and beautiful formal gardens that surround the place, and maybe explore the wider park by buggy, where you can glimpse a variety of wildlife. The day also includes a stop at the delightful Cotswolds town of Tetbury, home to King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Your Bath tour itinerary

The day begins with a visit to Tetbury, next to where His Majesty King Charles and Queen Camilla live in their home of Highgrove. This was an important market town during the Middle Ages, famous for Cotswolds wool. Visit the Highgrove Shop and pick up a royal souvenir. Marvel at the stunning scenery of the Cotswolds as we travel through this renowned Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You will pass delightful villages that date back centuries and which remain largely unchanged to this day. Revel in the splendour of Blenheim Palace, home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Enjoy a multi-media tour of the State Rooms, visit the Sir Winston Churchill Exhibition, and experience the 'Untold Story' which brings the history of the Palace to life. The Palace sits amongst 2, 000 acres of landscaped Parkland and Formal Gardens. Wander through the Secret, Italian and Rose Gardens. Get lost in the gigantic maze and recharge in the Butterfly House or Lavender Garden.
