Cotswolds special area , great flexibility We had a unique full day tour of a special area the Cotswolds with Jules. My wife and I were not sure what we appreciated more - his enthusiasm, extensive knowledge, or easy-going nature. Wonddrful experience, highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor
Miketravelsworld4 days agoAn Enjoyable and Informative Tour of Bath! Today we had the pleasure of attending a walking tour of Bath with Justin of “In & Beyond Bath” tours. Justin is a wonderful and friendly tour guide who made us feel comfortable and at ease from the moment we met until the completion of the tour. He is very knowledgeable about all of the past and present history of Bath and its neighborhoods and architecture. He also customized the tour to our liking. We highly recommend walking Bath with him!Posted on Google

An Absolutely Outstanding Tour — Ask for Chris! Our In & Beyond Tour with Chris was truly one of the highlights of our trip to England. From beginning to end, the experience was exceptional. Chris picked us up right on time from our hotel in Bath and immediately made us feel comfortable and excited about the day ahead. Rather than simply taking us to the typical tourist stops, he introduced us to several fascinating, off-the-beaten-path historical locations that we likely never would have discovered on our own. This was a full-day tour, and Chris packed it with an incredible amount of history, interesting facts, stories, and details. His knowledge of the area and its history was remarkable, but what really made the experience special was his ability to bring that history to life. It never felt like we were simply listening to facts — we felt like we were actually experiencing the history of the places we visited. The entire day was extremely well organized, informative, interesting, and enjoyable. Even after spending the whole day together, we found ourselves wishing we had more time. If you are visiting Bath and want to experience something beyond the usual tourist attractions, I highly recommend the In & Beyond Tour. And if you have the opportunity, specifically request Chris as your guide. He made an already wonderful experience truly memorable. Five stars without hesitation!+0Posted on Google
Joe Arciniega7 days agoOur two touring days with Simon "in and around Bath" were extraordinary in every possible way, and well beyond our expectations. Simon picked us up at our hotel, The Royal Crescent, and guided us on foot and in a touring car through the worlds (past and present) of Bath, the Cotswolds countryside, Castle Combe, La Cock, and Stourhead House and Gardens. Simon's deep knowledge and unbridled enthusiasm for the area made the facts and history of each place vibrantly alive for my wife and me. We learned so much and enjoyed every place we visited all the more. We are ever so grateful and recommend Simon and In and Around Bath to anyone that wants a deep and satisfying travel experience.+0

Hey Joe, It was so nice to get to spend a couple of your precious holi days with you, especially on the double celebration (!!!!), and it genuinely felt an honour to be your guide on such an auspicious occasion. Thanks so much for being such fun, easy and engaged company. I really hope we get to explore together again some time, there's so much more to see! All the best, SimonPosted on Tripadvisor
Joe A8 days agoHistory and Travel Made Fun From the first, our experience with Simon was superb. Simon's knowledge of the places we toured is extraordinary, and he delivers it all with such enthusiasm that we couldn't help but be dazzled. At every place and moment, we felt solidly in the hands of a highly skilled travel professional. On time every time, well prepared and informed, Simon delivered total white glove handling befitting a luxury travel experience. Thank you, Simon, and thank you In and Beyond Bath company. We will be back.Posted on Tripadvisor

Sarah Manchester11 days agoSimon provided us with two memorable tours- one of the Uffington White Horse and one of Wells Cathedral. Wells wasn’t even on our radar, but it is a gem of a little city- stunning cathedral, bishops palace and a library with some real treasures. Simon was extremely knowledgeable and informative and very good company. We highly recommend In and Beyond Bath.
Owner's reply
Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your warm words and great, easy company over two days. I'm pleased the mizzle (misty drizzle) didn't dampen your evident enthusiasm for everything we experienced together (along with the odd surprise thrown in along the way). I was very impressed you were happy to 'gamble' on seeing Wells, its Vicars Close and Bishops Palace, and enjoyed it so much. It's very special despite being off most West Country tour itineraries Come and see us again. I've so much more to show you! All the best, SimonPosted on Google
Christina Tarvin11 days agoThis is the company to hire if you want to see Stonehenge and get a detailed description of the history of the area and the engineering it took to build the site. Our tour guide, Max, contacted us a few days before our tour, picked us up on time, and gave an interesting overview of the area we were driving through. I recommend In and Beyond Bath for any tour in the region
Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Christina, for your wonderful review. We are delighted that Max gave you such a thorough and engaging explanation of Stonehenge's history and the engineering behind it, and that his early contact and timely pickup got your tour off to such a smooth start. We have so much more to show you across the region, so we do hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, In and Beyond Bath TeamPosted on Google
Katherine Marumoto14 days agoMy husband and I booked a half day Stonehenge experience from Bath for our anniversary. Our tour guide, Chris, was incredibly communicative from the start. His knowledge of Stonehenge and the surrounding areas made the trip not only enjoyable but informative. We really appreciated not only the Stonehenge specific information but also the additional regional knowledge. Our only complaint is we wish we’d booked a longer tour with some of the additional areas he mentioned as well!
Owner's reply
Hi Katherine, Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you both enjoyed your trip to Stonehenge, especially on your anniversary. I hope we made you inquisitive enough about our region for you to come back on another special occasion. Hope to see you soon, I have so much more to show you! Warm regards, ChrisPosted on Google

Nelly Sia17 days agoGuests Florencio Sia, Nelly Sia and Giselle Yap Our guide Mr. Simon Whittaker was very good, entertaining and knowledgeable. He drove us to Bath and gave us a half day walking tour which was very interesting and informative. We were impressed with his knowledge and his enthusiasm in imparting the history and beauty of Bath to us. We also went to STONEHENGE and he gave us a nice lecture about the meaning of of the rocks. We also went to the Roman Baths at night, upon his advice, and indeed, it looked better because of the lights and music. Overall, we really enjoyed his company, the drive was smooth and his stories were interesting. I will give him a 5 star rating!!!+1

Hi Nelly, Thanks so much for choosing In and Beyond Bath and myself as your guide for your once in a lifetime GB trip.

Ellen Wawryk25 days agoWe took a full day 8 person (7 adults, one infant) private tour with Simon of In and Beyond Bath, and it was all we had hoped for and more. Simon was fun, friendly, and outstandingly knowledgeable about the places we visited (Stonehenge, Avebury and the Cotswolds.) From the early planning stages (where he was always just an email away to help us plan not only our day, but other logistics as well) to helping us get the absolute most out of each of our stops, it was clear that Simon knows the area and the history intimately and he shared it all in an approachable, engaging way. We felt truly immersed! I cannot recommend Simon and In and Beyond Bath Tours highly enough. We all agree that of the 3 weeks we spent in the UK, our day with Simon was a true highlight.
Owner's reply
Dear Ellen, Thank you so much for this fulsome, glowing and thorough review of your day with us! It was so great to help you plan and then spend the day with three generations of your lovely family and show you the best of the region. Your little grandchild was so patient and good on the day - amazing! Come and see me again, as I've so much more up my sleeve to show you, that is both historic and remarkable... Best wishes and thanks again, SimonPosted on Tripadvisor
Margaret E26 days agoAn amazing Trip in the Cotswolds Yesterday we visited The Cotswolds. It was a place I had wanted to visit for many years. Chris told us about the history of the area and the peaceful, picturesque towns and villages that we visited. He is an extremely knowledgeable guide, so it was a meaningful trip for me. I enjoyed the trip very much. HIROKO OSADAPosted on Tripadvisor
Bridget M29 days agoJane Austen fan? Don’t miss this tour! We had a wonderful Jane Austen Walking Tour of Bath with Justin today. He was very knowledgeable and engaging and did a fantastic job of connecting the historical and cultural influences of the Georgian period with Jane Austen’s time living in Bath. We felt like we were walking in the footsteps of Jane Austen as we traversed the city of Bath, enjoyed the Georgian architecture, and learned so much about her time here. Highly recommend this tour! Loved it!
Owner's reply
Thank you so much for this, it's genuinely lovely to read. We're so pleased you had such a great time on the Jane Austen Walking Tour, and that Justin's way of tying the Georgian period into Austen's own time in Bath came through so well, that's exactly the kind of storytelling he's brilliant at. He's an exceptional guide and we've passed your review straight on to him, it'll mean a lot. Come back and see more of our region with us when you can!Warm regards, In and Beyond Bath TeamPosted on Google
Michelle Berryman29 days agoWe had a walking tour of Bath recently with Toby and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Interesting fun facts and stories of Bath and the people in it over time. Toby is a wealth of information and was able to show us so much in one morning without me feeling like I was walked off my feet! I had no idea we had been walking for so long. I was even excited the next day when I discovered a name in Wells that connected to a story Toby had told us. I would definitely recommend booking with this group and ask for Toby. No photos because you really need to see it for yourself 😁
Owner's reply
Dear Michelle, thank you so much for this lovely review! We're delighted Toby kept you so engaged that you didn't even realise how long you'd been walking for, that's exactly the kind of immersive experience we aim for. It's brilliant that one of his stories stayed with you enough to spot the connection to a name in Wells the very next day, we'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Toby. We have so much more to show you, we hope to welcome you back to explore further with us soon! Warm regards, In and Beyond Bath TeamPosted on Tripadvisor
TheHaze31 days agoTwo Superb Day Tours with this Top-Notch Team! We had two incredible full-day tours with In & Beyond Bath. One was a tour/transfer which immersed us in Stonehenge, Avebury, neolithic history, and the English countryside on a journey from Southampton to Bath. The second was a tour/transfer which brought us across the Southern countryside and coast of Wales on our way from Bath to Cardiff. Each day was amazing, insightful and most enjoyable. We saw wonderful sights (many hidden gems!) and learned a great deal. Also, with In & Beyond Bath, there's always a great opportunity for an authentic local food experience. Our guides, Max and Simon, were superb - gracious, wise and witty. We've done many tours on international trips; the two days with In & Beyond Bath rank at the top of our experiences. We highly recommend this terrific team for your next tour/transfer/adventure.

Steve Ratcliffe31 days agoI think if we could rate Roland and I and Beyond Bath ten stars we would. It's a highlight of our trip to England. Roland was knowledgeable about the history and geography of Stonehenge. After our visit there we went to several small villages where he shared tales of the area. Lunch and conversation was excellent. Couldn't ask for a better guide. A day we won't forget.+3
Owner's reply
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for this, and for the lovely photos too! We're delighted Roland's knowledge of Stonehenge's history and geography stood out, and that the stops in the smaller villages along the way, with all their local tales, added so much to the day. It sounds like the lunch and conversation rounded things off perfectly, and we'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Roland himself. We'd love to welcome you back, there's so much more we could show you! Warm regards, In and Beyond Bath TeamPosted on Google

Valerie H36 days agoExtraordinary transfer and tour! Max picked us on arrival in Southampton from a cruise - and we had an unforgettable day visiting Salisbury, Stonehenge, Avebury, and the local areas en route to Bath.

Things were easy to arrange and we were in great hands from start to finish. We highly recommend this talented and delightful team!

Highly recommend him for your next visit to the area.

Posted on GoogleSteve Ratcliffe31 days agoI think if we could rate Roland and I and Beyond Bath ten stars we would. It's a highlight of our trip to England. Roland was knowledgeable about the history and geography of Stonehenge. After our visit there we went to several small villages where he shared tales of the area. Lunch and conversation was excellent. Couldn't ask for a better guide. A day we won't forget.

Hi Steve, Thank you so much for this, and for the lovely photos too! We're delighted Roland's knowledge of Stonehenge's history and geography stood out, and that the stops in the smaller villages along the way, with all their local tales, added so much to the day. It sounds like the lunch and conversation rounded things off perfectly, and we'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Roland himself. We'd love to welcome you back, there's so much more we could show you! Warm regards, In and Beyond Bath Team

Z C59 days agoExcellent bespoke experience This is a long overdue review for the great team at In & Beyond Bath. I suppose that gives away the plot. My mother and I had a lovely four days in and around Bath and the Cotswolds, thanks to the enthusiastic and entertaining Simon, the thoughtful and engaging Chris, and the hospitable and insightful Gavin. Simon took us to Wells to see the town and the cathedral, and the scenic Stourhead Garden. On the following tour day, Chris and Justin (?) took us around to the significant sights around Bath, making the most of things despite the rain, and into Sapperton and the surrounding areas. Simon took over again for our trip into the bucolic Cotswolds, where we had a full day visiting cute towns that were not swarmed with other tourists, as well as Malmesbury. Gavin took us on our last leg through several other Cotswolds towns, including Chipping Camden and the bustling Stow-on-the-Wold, before finishing with a brief but insightful tour of Oxford on the way to our final destination. In & Beyond Bath did an excellent job of creating a bespoke tour for our interests, in this case history and beautiful landscapes. I’d also have to say each of our guides had excellent palates, as we enjoyed each restaurant and pub they suggested along the way. It is not a budget proposition, but I feel you do get value for money in the personable and knowledgeable guides, comfortable transportation, recommendations that travelers from abroad might not normally have on their lists (for me, Wells Cathedral, Stourhead Garden and Malmesbury), and the ability to be flexible ad hoc. Very highly recommended for a worry-free, full and fulfilling itinerary.Posted on Tripadvisor

Debbie H71 days agoShort and Sweet Tour Justin showed my 88 year old mother and I around Bath. He was so very kind, warm and attentive to both of us but especially my mother. Our visit was just long enough to get the highlights of the city and short enough to enjoy every single moment.Posted on Tripadvisor
