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.

Located less than 2 hours drive from Southampton, the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath is a wonderful place to stay whilst exploring the region. The region is home to mysterious prehistoric stone circles, Roman remains, magnificent cathedrals, charming picturesque villages and beautiful scenery. I have selected the best of these for you to enjoy on this 3 day tour. The tour includes a pick-up from Southampton to your hotel in Bath and your onward transfer at the end of the tour. We will visit Stonehenge, Britain's most famous monument and you will follow in the footsteps of Kings and Queens as I show you around my home city of Bath. We will sample local produce at the birthplace of Cheddar cheese and explore its stunning gorge. We will visit the historic cathedral city of Wells and see one of the world's oldest working clocks. In the countryside you will have the opportunity to explore charming villages or enjoy a unique falconry experience. My aim is for you to leave with wonderful memories!

I will transfer you in my modern, air-conditioned vehicle - a Ford Galaxy. The vehicle has a comfortable amount of space for luggage (1206 litres). We will be walking on grass at Stonehenge. If you would like to climb to the viewpoint on the gorge sturdy footwear is recommended as we will be walking on an uneven rocky path which can get muddy and slippery when there has been rain. The viewpoint walk includes a steep 15 minute ascent so it is not recommended for people with mobility difficulties.
