We did a private tour of Stonehenge with them. Simon was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He explained the history of Stonehenge, and other places on the road to it, in a very detailed and interesting way. We hope we can come to Bath some other time and do another tour of this area with him
We had an incredible experience with Chris last week! He was kind and super knowledgeable. I was amazed at everything I would have missed had I been on my own. Can’t wait to come back again!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! Looking forward to seeing you again and showing you even more incredible places in the Cotswolds.
All the best,
Chris

We had the best day exploring the Cotswolds with Chris! He made this beautiful area of the country come alive with rich history, stories, fun tidbits. We learned so much and as a bonus he was fabulous company! Thank you Chris for a wonderful day! We would recommend to all of our friends!
Hi Katherine,

I am so glad you enjoyed our day exploring the Cotswolds. You were both great company which makes being a guide so pleasurable.
We hope to see you both again along with your friends!

Fizemos dois tours em dois dias distintos com o Simon. Espetacular, conhecimento profundo da região, nos levou a lugares espetaculares, várias surpresas no caminho. Vale cada minuto. Se estiver na região, é imperdivel!
It was so nice and a privilege to get to spend two days with the both of you, and learn a little of Brazil while you learned a bit about our country on your first visit to the West Country.
Thanks for your evident interest, connection, good humour and patience. I hope to see you again - there's so much more to show you!
Simon

O Melhor de Bath e região.
Fizemos dois tours, em dois dias distintos com o Simon, para Cotswold e Wells. Experiência sensacional. Conhecimento profundo da região, várias surpresas no decorrer da viagem, vários lugares especiais. Simon, muito educado, atencioso, atendimento Premium. Valeu cada minuto. Se estiver em Bath, é imperdivel.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Jeff! We're thrilled that our planning and organisation helped make your experience seamless. Our entire team works hard to ensure every detail is just right, and it means the world to know we succeeded.
Warm regards,

Chris was an excellent, knowledgeable and personable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him from Bath to the Cotswolds. Highly recommend!

Fue maravilloso,...
Fue maravilloso, informativo, hermoso paisaje con tanta información increíble. Recomendaría encarecidamente
Simon was the best tour guide ever! He fulfilled all our wishes for the tour and we couldn’t imagine a better experience through the Cotswolds and Stonehenge. He thoroughly explained the rich history of every sight we visited/saw and encouraged us to ask questions/provide feedback. It was clear Simon has a lot of passion for the English countryside. We would love to tour with him again and have nothing but positive things to say about our excursion :)
Thanks so much for your extremely kind words and for taking the plunge and choosing us for your tour of Stonehenge and the Cotswolds!
It was so nice to spend the day with you, Jerry and your delightful family and show you the best of the region.
Glad I was able to sneak in a few surprises along the way like Westbury White Horse, Edington Priory etc and we even got in a spot of Gongoozling too (I'll leave you to look that old English word up!)
Come and see me again, I'd love to show you more hidden corners of the West Country.
Enjoy London (and maybe Brighton too)
All the best, Simon

We really enjoyed our tour of the Cotswolds with Simon. Everything was as described and a great addition to our trip. Simon is very knowledgable and easy to connect with. I highly recommend adding a tour with In and Beyond Bath to your itinerary.
It was such a privilege to take you and your family from Bath to see the highlights of the Cotswolds
It's always a joy to get an appreciative audience for the history, culture and folklore of the region, not to mention show avid Harry Potter fans actual filming locations!
Hope to see you again one day. Come and see me!

I am truly grateful that I booked two private family tours on consecutive days, one for the Bath city walk and another for Stonehenge and beyond. Our guides, Toby and Simon, provided an exceptionally rich and educational experience at both locations.
During the Bath city walk, we learned about the deep history of the area, from the earliest inhabitants to the arrival of the Romans, and how the city evolved through the Regency period to the present day. Toby made the stories come alive, and we felt as if we were walking through the layers of history.
For the Stonehenge tour, Simon guided us through the fascinating background of this UNESCO site, explaining how it was built, its cultural significance, and the beliefs of the early people who created it. He also took us to St. Andrew, which added even more depth to the experience.
Both guides were kind, patient, and wonderful with our family, especially with my son and his many out of the box questions. Even my kids enjoyed every moment. Thanks to Toby and Simon, history felt alive, and these tours became unforgettable highlights of our trip.
I highly recommend their service.
What a pleasure it was to meet you and your family! Toby spoke so warmly about your Bath city walk, and it was a real joy to welcome you again the next day for Stonehenge and the lovely village of Mells with its extraordinary church. We have passed your wonderful review on to him as well
Guests who arrive with such genuine interest and long-held hopes to see these places always make the day feel special. Your young historians were an absolute delight, full of brilliant questions that brought real life and energy to the stories we shared!
We would love to see you again and show you even more of this remarkable region
Very best wishes,
Simon

We booked a two hour private History & Highlights tour through Simon at In and Beyond Bath. He was very helpful and ensured everything was organised in advance of our tour. Our tour guide was Maggie who was excellent as she gave a very interesting insight into life in Bath over hundreds of years. We were shown sights that any unaware person would walk past without knowing the important history behind them. Maggie had some wonderful stories to tell about famous people from Bath, which made the tour even more poignant.
A first class experience!!
I'm so glad you found us and that we were able to arrange this tour for you!
Maggie is born and raised in our beautiful city and the ideal person to bring Bath’s history and highlights to life, as you've clearly discovered. Her stories about the people who shaped Bath are something special and I'm delighted they resonated with you.
Come and see us again. We'd love to show you more and take you further afield. There are extraordinary sights all around Bath we’d be thrilled to share with you.
All the best,
Simon

I cannot say enough great things about our half day trip to Cotswolds with our guide Chris. He communicated well before our scheduled day/time and tailored the trip and stops around our particular interests. He was patient based on our pace and knowledgeable about a wide range of topics. I am so very thankful that we booked this trip. Thank you Chris. Highly recommend!!
It was a pleasure taking you both around the Cotswolds and we are so happy you enjoyed your time with us. You were interested, inquisitive and asked all the right questions! I hope you come back and visit us again in the near future, I have so much more to show you!
Warm regards,
Chris

Wonderful and Memorable Day
Max is an extremely affable and incredibly knowledgeable guy and guide! We toured Castle Combe, Malmesbury and Bath with him as well as traveled for a good part of the morning along the ancient Roman road or the "Fosse Way." Rather than give us just an extensive chronological history, he shared with us ways of seeing history in each place. It was a wonderful and memorable day!
Super Day
Jules could not have been more accommodating in creating a custom tour for us. Knowing we had limited time in and around Bath, he organized a wonderful tour with Max our first day and took us himself the next day back to London via Lacock Abbey and Avebury, a sister site to Stonehenge, which we had requested. He is extremely knowledgeable (having taught history), and enjoys equally if not more so connecting with his guests. Not only did he share the history of each site, but also what he finds most fascinating. We learned a lot, we felt we'd made a new friend! Even though our time frame was tight, we never felt rushed. We had a super day with Jules!
We spent a wonderful day in the Cotswolds! Simon is so knowledgeable about the history of the villages and shared those stories with us in a fun and interesting way. We spent time walking around Malmesbury, Castle Combe and several other towns, learning so much about them. And we had a lovely lunch at The Vine Tree - somewhere we'd never have found ourselves and very much enjoyed. I highly recommend Simon and will book again when we're back in Bath!
It was so nice to spend the day with you both exploring the Cotswolds. Thank you for your warmth, engagement, good company and good humour. I do really hope to see you again, I have so much more up my sleeve to surprise you with!
All the best,
Simon

We had an exceptionally excellent tour with Simon going all around the Cotswolds from Bath. This was an incredibly special trip for both my mom and I as we had never been to the English countryside before, made even better by this experience. I cannot reccomend Simon and In & Beyond Bath enough.
Simon’s knowledge of the areas and the history was incredible. Our trip started in Castle Comb’s, to Malmesbury, Lacock, and Corsham. We had the most phonemes time, stopping at places we never would have found on our own. We can’t wait to come back and have another tour with Simon!
It was so nice to spend the day with you both exploring the Cotswolds (and its variety of cute farm animals!)
Thank you for your easy, good-humoured company and fun. Good luck with the wedding; enjoy Puglia - DO NOT MISS MATERA, it is astonishing...
I do hope to see you again one day. Bring Mr. next time!
All the best,
Simon

Everything we hoped for! Simon was a delight to spend the day with, and he was a wealth of knowledge about the region and its history. He worked in a quick stop to let me geek out on Jane Austen movie sites. We didn't feel rushed, had a good lunch an teatime. I'll book again when I find my back to this area of the UK.
Thanks so much for finding me and our bijou company. It was so rewarding to spend the day with yourself and your aunt.
Always happy to cater tours to suit your interests where we can, 'Geek Is Good'! Glad you enjoyed that diversion
Hope to see you again one day. Ask for me!
All the best,
Simon

I can't say enough good things about our In and Beyond Bath experience. Our guide Rolland was terrific. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, and just fun to spend the day with. I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Michael. We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with Roland! He’ll be delighted to know how much you appreciated his knowledge, warmth, and company throughout the day. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him
Warm regards,
