Voices from Our Guests

"On our way back from Andalusia, Spain, we stopped off in London for a few days to enjoy that fantastic city. On one of the days, we took an early morning train to Bath and joined two other travellers on a tour up to Stonehenge, and as our gifted and talented guide called it, Secret England.

The latter turned out to be a visit to several small villages in Somerset to explore their beauty and historical significance. Our guide, Jules, is a former history teacher and he was able to really bring the history and importance of Stonehenge to life. Luckily, in late September, there aren't hordes of tourists and the weather was glorious.

After Stonehenge, we had a delightful pub lunch at the historic Bath Arms in Wiltshire. We naturally ordered the fish and chips. Our next stop was the village of Mells and St. Andrew's Church and Cemetery. The church has a long history, dating back to the 15th century, and has several significant decorative features, including memorials to some who died in World War I.

Hats off to Jules and In and Beyond Bath Tours for this moving yet wonderful experience. Overall, our visit went great, and visiting Stonehenge and the countryside of Somerset with Jules was a fantastic day away from London."
