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. Member of Visit Bath (Bath's official tourism organisation). Born and raised in Bath and experienced global traveller! NONE

Overview of your Southampton tour

Make the most of your stop at Southampton with this day-trip to see the most fascinating sights in the region. I will take you to the magnificent 13th century Salisbury Cathedral where you can see the world's oldest working clock and a 800+ year old document which transformed the lives of people in this country - the 1215 Magna Carta. After visiting the cathedral we will continue to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath. I was born in Bath and am proud to call it my home. The city is famous for its hot springs, architecture and Jane Austen. I will show you my favourite viewpoint and take you on a walking tour to show you its famous buildings. I will tell you interesting stories about the city and its residents and how Bath once attracted Kings and Queens! Returning to Southampton we will stop at one of Britain's most famous monuments - Stonehenge, a site that never ceases to impress me. I will guide you around the stone circle and explain its history, recent discoveries and its unusual stories!
