I offer tours of Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, Wells, Cheddar, Glastonbury, stately homes and beautiful villages surrounding Bath. I was born and grew up in Bath so if you would like a tour with a local, look no further - I am what locals call a genuine Bathonian! Travelling has been in my blood since I was young. I have been fortunate to visit many places in the world from Europe to Latin America, South East Asia, USA and Australia. However as Dorothy in the film "The Wizard of Oz" says: "There is no place like home" and so after working for a global tour operator I have settled back in Bath where I am surrounded by a beautiful city, lovely countryside and my family. Today I take great delight in showing visitors around my home city and the local area. If you are visiting Bath for the first time check out my Bath City Walking Tour which will give you a great introduction to the city. For those looking for a unique experience I have also created a tour where you can combine this with the opportunity to fly a hawk in the countryside which is an incredible experience. As I have a vehicle I also take visitors on tours of Stonehenge which is only 50 minutes from Bath as well as to other fascinating places such as Avebury, Wells, Cheddar and some of the charming villages around the city. The vehicle also allows me to do sightseeing transfers to/from Bath - from airports, ports and London. I can also customise tours and in the past I have taken visitors to Stately homes in the area e. g. Longleat House, Stourhead and to places like Salisbury Cathedral (which has a copy of the 1215 Magna Carta). If it is not an area of my expertise I will let you know. Do take a look at my reviews. In 2022 I was thrilled to win the "Experience of the Year" category in the regional tourism awards. My goal is to give you a wonderful experience during your stay. I hope I will meet you and have the chance to show you around my home city and the area that I affectionately call the West Country. Experience of the Year Gold Award in the 2021/22 Bristol Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards. All licenses required to transport passengers in my vehicle.

This is a great tour for visitors in Southampton who would like to spend a night in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath. I was born in Bath and am proud to call it my home. I will show you all of Bath's famous sights and will tell you interesting stories behind these and famous residents such as Jane Austen. You will hear about the legend of Bath and how the city's hot springs once attracted Kings and Queens. You will also visit Bath's most popular tourist attraction, the Roman Baths museum, where you can see the remains of an ancient Roman spa. We will also visit one of Britain's most famous monuments: Stonehenge. I have visited Stonehenge over 100 times and it never ceases to impress me. Knowing the stories and theories behind the stones really enhances a visit so I will share these with you. As we walk around the stone circle I will point out interesting features and tell you its unusual stories! At the end of our tour on the 2nd day I will drive you to your next destination.
• I will meet you in Southampton and drive you to Stonehenge, approx. 1 hour away. • We will spend 90 minutes at Stonehenge. I will guide you around the Visitor Centre and the stone circle. • On the 50 minute drive to Bath we will stop for lunch at a charming village pub. • Before our walking tour of Bath I will take you to a viewpoint to give you a great perspective of the city.
