Jim McFee was absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a personable, intelligent, clever guide, this is your guy. You’ll be lucky if you can book him because he stays so busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our custom tour.

Our guide Andy was a history buff and an expert who adapted to our agenda of going off the beaten path. The tour time flew quickly and yet we felt relaxed and all learned so much along the way. We would definitely recommend booking the same tour with Andy or another Blue Badge guide.

Andy was super Informative! He gave us so much history and detail of Bath and volunteered information about other parts of England too, when he heard what our travel plans were. I would definitely recommend this tour!
