Summary: Fantastic way to see the city and surrounding area. We did the 3 hour Bath City & Countryside Tour with Darroch which I was hesitant to do because I really wanted to focus on the history of Bath. This tour was perfect. Darroch’s knowledge of history from Celts to the Victorian age made the tour come alive. Plus his knowledge of local flora and fauna - from local falcons to wild garlic added another aspect to seeing the natural beauty around Bath. Highly recommend

Summary: Wayne was a great guide, very knowledgeable on the area and its history and a really nice guy. Bikes were good quality and easy to manage. We did the Bath countryside and city tour which took us down the lovely canal tow paths, through the mile long tunnel and back into the city to round off - a good blend for a great morning out.
