EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our day with our guide, Max, exceeded expectations. He seemed to read our minds and provided an experience that touched our sense of awe, our knowledge (and ignorance!) of history, with meaningful commentary and adaptability to whatever came up in the course of our day. Culture vulture that I may be, my understanding of what I'm looking at, from Roman times to contemporary, is forever broadened and deepened. His anecdotes brought every thing to life. My hubby and I wanted a few walks by ourselves, and he made that easy, and meaningful. It all seemed spontaneous, until we discovered he had the timing down to the minute to show us a mechanical clock that rung the bells in a steeple just as he finished showing it to us. We highly, highly, highly comment In and Beyond Bath, and in particular, Max! He's witty and upbeat as well. We both appreciated every moment of our day, from pick-up to drop-off..

We had a delightful day in the Cotswolds with Simon. Very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the area. We really got a flavor of the area. Simon was prompt and easy to get along with. Highly recommend this guide and company for your visit to Bath!

Hi Goldee, Such a pleasure to show you and Tom around the region. Spending a day of your precious holiday with you and giving you your first taste of the Cotwolds felt like a real privilege. Come and see me again some day. I have so much more to show you best wishes, Simon WhittakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am THRILLED we chose In Bath and Beyond for our first visit to Bath & the Cotswolds!! Simon, our private guide, was INCREDIBLE. Not only an absolute joy to spend the day with, but so knowledgeable, funny, flexible and thoughtful. I've been dreaming of the English countryside for years, and Simon DELIVERED. As someone who struggles with crowds, Simon made sure to structure our itinerary so that we would avoid the busiest areas at the busiest times, and we didn't deal with a single crowd! He took us to the oldest hotel in England for a delightful coffee and the delicious Gibb Inn for the best pub meal I've ever had. What meant the most to me was that once Simon realized how much I loved/appreciated just walking through the gardens, meadows and fields of the area, he made sure to include a couple of extra spots where I could do just that. I will definitely use In and Beyond Bath again and am eternally grateful to Simon for giving me, my mom and my sister such a perfect day. THANK YOU! Will be back soon (I hope!) for a hike.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing two days with Simon. His knowledge of the area its history was amazing. Day 1 was to the Cotswold. Simon took us to beautiful places with no crowds but lots of history and beauty. Day 2 was to Wells. The Cathedral and Bishops Palace are worth the visit. The Cathedral (12th century) is an architectural wonder with over 800 statues and carvings that are unique. The Bishops Palace, complete with a mote, has an amazing garden with great plantings and natural spring-fed pools. Simon is well traveled and interesting, so it was fun to converse with him throughout our 2 days. He was accommodating, hospitable and selected good places to eat (as we are foodies). And he laughed at my jokes...

Hi Zach and Liz, Lovely and a privilege to spend two days of your precious trip with you. It was exciting to take you to some lesser trodden Cotswolds spots as well as showing you Wells Cathedral, the Bishops Palace etc Impressed you took the plunge to visit these. Not many do Hope to see you again someday, show you some new spots and hear a fresh crop of wisecracks! Best wishes and safe onward journey Simon WhittakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In Bath and Beyond tour company is the best tour company I’ve ever used. Simon our tour guide was phenomenal and it is worth the extra dollars to use this company because you will see so much learn so much and feel like you were with family. Simon was always open for suggestions, but he made some of the best suggestions on where to go what to do and what to see. That’s why we loved the tour because he knew the places to go the times to go when it was less crowded and the most beautiful time to see, the historical place or church or whatever we wanted to see. Also, he knew the best places to have lunch a coffee, which made the tour very nice. I would use them again when I come back to Bath and the UK.

Dear Sandra It was lovely to help plan for your visit, then spend a couple of days with you three, showing you some of our finest attractions in the area I hope Bath lived up to your expectations and I hope to see you again some day, if you "get your ducks in a row" (A cruiseliner joke!) Best wishes and safe travels Simon WhittakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took a small group 1/2 tour out of Bath to areas of the Cotswolds and it has been the highlight and favorite part of our whole Europe trim. Simon our tour guide was beyond knowledgeable and just a joy to be with for the duration of our tour. His personality is so great and he was just a great the entire trip. We came in by train from London and spent a couple hours exploring Bath and grabbed lunch before heading out. The meeting location and town is all walkable and everything is centrally located to the Bath Spa train station. The cotswolds are darling and just breathtaking and I loved learning all about the history of them and bath. There are so many good photo opportunities along the way. 20/10 I would recommend this tour to anyone!!!

What a delightful day with Ralph in the Cotswold picking us up at our hotel in Bath and bringing us back. The guide Ralph was excellent driver and his knowledge about history and places spot on. Relaxing lunch, Durham Park Mansion and my favorite village was castle Combe Village. Also, Malmesbury Abbey and the oldest hotel. We booked a share tour and the two of us were the only ones on the tour! Ralph was so kind, friendly and fun. Love the Cotswold thanks Ralph.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stonehenge and Secret England tour with Simon. What a perfect day. Huge bucket list to experience Stonehenge but the day ended up with so much more. Easy pick up in Bath and then a full day exploring and seeing local sights after Stonehenge. Book ASAP

We just used In & Beyond Bath for a tour of the Cotswolds and it was fabulous. Simon was friendly, funny, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable. We definitely give him 5 stars. He took us to several gorgeous villages and we learned a lot about the history of the area, buildings, and churches. The area is breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
