Hiring Around and About Bath was the best decision I made on my dream trip to England. Jules was easy to work with leading up to the tour, communicative and accommodating. He listened carefully to my interests and was able to personalize our tour. His knowledge of the area and of its political and social history is vast. His passion comes through with great storytelling and humor. The Cotswolds are beautiful and rich in history and there is so much to see. It is wise to hire Around and About Bath so you are not overwhelmed with where to go and what to do and can maximize your time there. It was the best part of my 2 week trip to Europe.

Our family had a wonderful time exploring Oxford and the Cotswolds with Graham, whom we found to be very knowledgable and friendly. The tour was well structured but also left enough flexibility for us to explore our specific interests. It felt like we were traveling with an old friend rather than someone we had just met. This was time well spent that provided us with fond memories from our family vacation.

Without doubt one of the most informative tours I’ve had by a tour guide. To give context to the reason we went to Bath was my Mum was one of 5 children who lived in Bath in WW2. She was 6 years of age at the time and all her sisters and brother shared their experience of the Bath Blitz to our family and her grandchildren. As i was visiting my sister who lives down near Bath, and our cousin. This was a huge surprise for my Mam, as My sister had contacted Daniel to tell him of where she used to live. Daniel went to the trouble of taking us to where she lived, and had even contacted a neighbour who lived near my Mum and the gentleman kindly shared some pictures of the property before it was demolished due to the bombings. From beginning to end, the vast knowledge and information he shared with us was not a tour, it was an experience. His friendly approach and engaging manner made this a day for my Mum and myself and Cousin a day to remember. Nothing was too much trouble and his wit and vocal tone were perfect, you will never tire of listening to him and the history of this beautiful city. I was not sure what to expect from the day and as an avid shopper, even I was NOT interested in shopping with exception of The Fudge Kitchen as I had mentioned my colleagues had “hinted” that they love it. Daniel took us, to the shop and we were not disappointed! I am sure my colleagues will be disappointed as the fudge certainly won’t be travelling back to Durham as I will have eaten it before I go back. I’ve learned so much today and to see my Mums face and engagement with Daniel will be a day none of us will ever forget. Thank you so much for such a very special afternoon.

This trip was so awesome. The bus was extremely clean and super comfortable, and our tour guide Andy was AMAZING. I feel like there wasn't a stretch of road on the whole trip that he didn't have some tidbit of interesting information about. The available time at each place was good, and the secret place we got to see was AWESOME! No spoilers though, I made a vow :) You will not regret booking a tour, it was a highlight of our trip. We had to cancel a second trip due to Covid-19 but as soon as we can make it back across the pond, we will be signing up for another English Bus tour!

Our travel agent chose our driver guide, she chose wisely for us. During our month long stay we had several driver guides along the way. Andrew was by far the best. He is very knowledgeable about the history, art and characters of Bath and the Cotswolds. He knew where to take us and what we would find interesting after we had a chat with at the beginning of our day. He was aware of our comfort level and made stops for us as needed, even had water and biscuits for us. We appreciated that he listened to what we wanted and made the day so enjoyable. It was such a pleasure to be in his company and you will be delighted with him as your guide.

Lovely visit and i highly recommend, take the walk up as it has some amazing views, only annoying part is the (i assume) clay pigeon shooting nearby as every so often you just hear gunfire.
