Jane Austen Tours in Bath

We offer both Half-Day and Full-Day versions of our most popular experiences to suit how much time you have and how deeply you'd like to explore.

• Half-Day Tours are ideal if you're short on time or simply looking for a focused visit to a world-famous location. Our Stonehenge Half-Day takes you directly there and back, while our Cotswolds Half-Day visits highlights like Castle Combe for a taste of the region's charm.
• Full-Day Tours are designed for those wanting to go beyond the obvious. Our Stonehenge & Secret England Full-Day pairs your visit to Stonehenge with a journey through 'Secret England,' offering the chance to experience timeless villages, evocative ruins, and a side of the country few visitors ever see. On our Hidden Cotswolds Full-Day, you'll explore further afield, visiting lesser-known villages, beautiful countryside, and uncovering stories you won’t hear elsewhere — from ancient kings to rural traditions.

In short:
Half-Days = a quick and focused visit.
Full-Days = a richer, deeper experience, with more stories, places, and surprises along the way.

No! We design our tours to be one of the best travel experiences whatever the weather. Each of our tours is weather-adaptable. We plan for different weather, building in subtly different itineraries to account for weather shifts. This could include; reducing or removing an outdoor section with refreshments at an ancient inn, or visiting a fascinating museum instead of a short walk in the countryside. All our tours are therefore extraordinary experiences whatever the weather!

The UK has traditionally had an inferior reputation regarding its culinary culture, and for good reason. Had you visited the UK prior to the 1990s, the food was bland, traditional and uninspiring. Today, the opposite is true.

Having begun a food revolution in the 80s and 90s, cuisine in the UK has undergone a huge transformation. To the point that the UK has one of the strongest and most diverse offerings in Europe, if not the world. On account of the explosion of interest in cooking and dining in the past 40 years. With a very limited food culture to cling to, Brits have embraced new ideas, methodologies and cuisines. Fusing ingredients, techniques and dishes from around the world to create an exceptional, dynamic and delightful food culture. This has branched out from the cities and into every part of the British Isles, including country pubs and inns!

The quality and variety of dining options are outstanding. Most dining needs are catered to in almost all establishments, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. If you're a foodie, the UK is a must-visit destination!

Our approach. As seasoned travellers ourselves (with a lot of life experience), we know that whilst many of us travel for the 'big stuff', it's the intimate experiences, the unanticipated encounters and the relationships and interactions we share on the journey that end up being the things that we value and cherish the most from our travels. Because we know this, our approach focuses more on you and your experience, and taking you deep into our culture, heritage and landscapes and connecting with the things we know you'll love, over ticking must-sees off the list, whizzing from one place to the next and presenting information in a stiff, formal manner.

If you think about the moments in your life that have touched you, they'll be the ones that involve genuine connection, stillness and the opportunity to reflect and gaze in awe. This is the underpinning for our entire approach and makes for travel/touring experiences that go well beyond the usual - just hear what our former guests have to say about us and their time with us for proof!
