Super time

tom_j, May 2022

One of the best tours we have had. Daniel , our tour guide, was friendly, funny and very informative. Highly recommend him … great way to see the beautiful city of Bath.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you for this wonderful review and recommendation Tom & Susan. It was a real pleasure meeting all of you and showing you around Bath. I hope you were able to get some crackers! Wishing you all many many wonderful experiences together, Daniel.

One of the best guides, I’ve ever had.

Patricia_H, Apr 2022

Daniel was AWESOME!! He made it so fun, I wish we had booked him for Stonehenge tour too. A lot of information, with funny stories. We walked all around all over bath, but didn’t feel like a lot, because you were listening to him. I highly recommend him if you want to get to know bath, and try to do it on one of your first days here.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for this awesome review and recommendation Trish! It was great fun showing you and your sisters around Bath. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Bath and have a fantastic time touring the UK. Wishing you all many more great experiences together, Daniel.

Amazing Tour Guide

Todd_C, Jan 2022

Daniel absolutely deserves a 5 star review. My husband and I booked the walking tour of Bath and enjoyed every second of it. Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. We had such a great time with him we booked a second tour around the Cotswolds with Daniel the very next day. He made our trip so memorable and truly delivers a one of a kind experience. Highly highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation Amanda! It was a real pleasure taking you both on my Bath City Tour and my Lacock and Castle Combe Tour. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the UK and have lots of great memories from your trip. Do come back and visit again! Wishing you many more great experiences together, Daniel.

Greatest Tour Guide Ever!

Hayden_B, Dec 2021

Daniel was a PHENOMENAL guide! SO friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Anyone wanting to go to Bath, Salisbury, Sherborne, Stonehenge- Daniel is the tour guide you want!! He new all about the history, architecture, folklore, and quirky stories of the places we went. He also went ABOVE and BEYOND, helping us navigate what to do with the UK travel restrictions (we’re from the US and we were in uncharted water). Greatest tour guide ever! Thank you Daniel!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for your amazing review Hayden. It is my last review in 2021 and what a fantastic one to end the year with! It was a real delight showing you both around Bath and on our other tour: Stonehenge, Salisbury and Sherborne. If you are ever back this way do let me know and I would be delighted to show you more of the wonders in this region. Wishing you both a fantastic New Year and many more great experiences together, Daniel.

Entertaining and Interactive

Mark_M, Nov 2021

Absolutely worthy of a 5-star review. Daniel is an exceptionally interactive guide; this was a conversation, and not a rote lecture. His sense of humor made learning quite enjoyable and entertaining. He shared also great information about the surrounding area for our continued travels. Daniel, thank you, we will be in touch next year! And if you do publish a few stories (or a book), please let us know! All the best, Mark and Jean Charlotte, NC USA

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Thank you for this wonderful review Mark and Jean. It was a real delight showing you both around Bath. I hope you had fun in Bristol and Cheddar. Do let me know when you are next in this area and I will keep you posted on any book plans! Wishing you both lots of great experiences together, Daniel.

The best way to enjoy Bath

Brenda_E, Sep 2021

Daniel was a great guide, very informative and accommodating, he ended our tour by driving us up the hill to our restaurant booking.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you for your great review Brenda. It was lovely meeting you both and showing you around Bath. I hope you enjoyed your meal at MGJ and had many more delicious culinary experiences in the city! Wishing you both many more great experiences, Daniel.

Fantastic tour!

Philline_G, Sep 2021

We will really recommend Dan to be your tourguide. He is really a great local guide. Very educational and fun! Never a dull moment during the entire tour. He makes sure we are having fun, learning and comfortable.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Many thanks for your fantastic review and recommendation Philline. It was lovely meeting all of you and showing you around my home city of Bath. I hope you enjoyed your time at Stonehenge and Salisbury. Wishing you all many more great trips around the UK, Daniel

Highly recommended and excellent value

Andrea_T, Aug 2021

From the outset Daniel provided excellent communication and personalised our trip with suggestions of additional activities and restaurants to optimise out three day stay in Bath. Daniel was extremely personable, very knowledgeable but made the tour fun. The initial drive up to the viewpoint set the scene for the walk around which was really informative and covered so much that we would never have discovered ourselves. Daniel was extremely accommodating throughout and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon in his good company.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you for this wonderful review and recommendation Andrea. It was a real delight meeting you both and taking you on a tour of Bath. I hope you both had a fantastic stay and you had a birthday to remember :) Wishing you many more great trips together, Daniel.

Don’t miss!

Christine_C, Aug 2021

Daniel was both enlightening and entertaining. I learned a lot about the history of Bath and its people. I greatly appreciated being taken to the view of the city from on high.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you for your wonderful review Christine, the viewpoint is a great way to start the tour and get a perspective of the city! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Bath. Wishing you many more great experiences, Daniel

Brilliant tour

James_T, Jun 2021

Daniel is a great tour guide and we really felt that he went the extra mile to make sure we had a unique trip around Bath. We saw all the highlights as you would expect but we felt we got more from it than many other whistle stop tours. We would thoroughly recommend this tour, and any others by Daniel.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Many thanks for your wonderful review and recommendation James. It was great to meet all of you and show you around my home city. I hope you all enjoyed your special occasion in Bath. Do come back and visit again! Wishing you many more wonderful trips together, Daniel

A great tour of Bath

Ian_R, Sep 2020

A great morning spent with Daniel. He was a great guide and very thoughtful. He even adapted the tour to help when some support was needed. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thank you Ian for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure meeting you both and showing you around my home city. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Bath. Wishing you both many more wonderful travelling experiences, Daniel.

An amazing tour

Linda_O, Sep 2020

Daniel Hancock was an amazing guide. He was engaging and informative with a good sense of humour. As a Bathonian he had excellent local knowledge - facts interspersed with unusual stories - and took us to interesting locals we would not have found on our own. We highly recommend him.

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Many thanks for your lovely review and recommendation Linda. It was great fun showing all of you around my home city. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Bath. Do come back and visit again! Wishing you all many more fun trips together, Daniel

Fantastic experience and Guide

Holly_C, Feb 2020

We had a great experience with Dan! He had tons of knowledge of local things and made the tour funny and special. We would never had such a great time in a huge group or trying to tour Bath on our own. Would book him again every time

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you for your lovely review Holly. It was a real pleasure meeting you and your friends and taking you on a tour of my home city. I hope you enjoyed the fudge and the Sally Lunn Bun! Wishing you all lots more fun trips and experiences, Daniel.

Great tour experience

fred1534, Feb 2020

Daniel took us on a great tour through Bath, starting from a hillside above town to get perspective ending at the crescent, filling the time between with lots of history and stories. Capped it off with a walk back into town to make sure we didn't get lost😀

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Many thanks for your great review. It was a real pleasure meeting you both and showing you around my home city of Bath. I hope this is the first of many more great guided tours for you! Wishing you lots more wonderful travelling experiences, Daniel.

Fantastic Tour of Bath!

Sophie W, Jan 2020

Our tour guide Daniel is a great tour guide! We can't be happier with the service. We are so fortunate to have met him during our trip to Bath. He is very knowledgeable tour guide and he is funny too. We arrived Bath on New Year's Eve. He picked us up from our hotel in the afternoon and took us to a nearby park with a beautiful view of the City of Bath. He told us the tales of Bath (Roman Bath) as well as history in depth. He pointed out the various places in the city where we should visit. Then he drove us to the city and parked nearby the city center. We walked along river Avon to the city center, visited the Abbey, Roman Bath, he told us about the wonderful fudge place. We also drank Bath water from Roman Bath (not that great). We walked up to the Royal Crescent and heard more stories about the architecture and builder of these beautiful structures. Daniel even brought us cheese and crackers from local producers. They were delicious! We have two teenagers in our family. Both of them had lots of fun doing the Bath Insider Tour with Daniel. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone who is visiting Bath in the near future!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Many thanks for your wonderful review and recommendation Sophie. It was lovely to meet a fellow Astonite and to show you and your family around Bath. I hope Bath was the perfect start for your New Year and that you got to try the fudge! Wishing you and your family many more wonderful travelling experiences, Daniel.

Fabulous

Mahnaz_A, Aug 2019

Dan is a very knowledgeable guide and made our tour an excellent one. My children thoroughly enjoyed the tour and asked me to rate him 10 out of 10

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Many thanks for your wonderful review Mahnaz - please thank your children for their 10 out of 10 rating! It was a real pleasure meeting all of you and showing you around my home city. I hope you had a great time in the Cotswolds. Wishing you and your family many more wonderful holidays, Daniel.
