Instead of a predictable walking tour that only covers Bath’s history and top landmarks, this tour allows you to experience a completely different side of the city. Hear stories about crimes, corruption, and hidden sins of Bath that visitors don’t usually find out about. From thieves to gamblers to an infamous preacher—John Wesley, this tour provides humor, history, and sinful stories while walking between key sights such as the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge.

If you are trying to choose a walking tour of Bath don't look any further than the Bad of Bath. What a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Simon delivered a knowledgeable, detailed history of Georgian Bath with amusing, lively tales instead of the usual dry facts. He brought the city's history to life for us. He took good care of us and was considerate to our individual needs and specific interests (even going the extra metres to point out Bridgerton landmarks for me) We were so lucky that others who had booked the tour had to change days so we had Simon to ourselves but I guess he would manage a big group just as well. We struck lucky in our tour choice, recommend that you give yourselves a treat and book too.

We had a fantastic time on the Bad of Bath Tour with Simon! Was really interesting learning all about the history of Bath and Simon topped it off with giving fantastic recommendations for local eateries/ things to do here.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Bad of Bath tour with Simon. Simon made the tour fun and engaging from start to finish. Whilst learning all about the shenanigans of the bad of Bath we took in all the historical sights and more that Bath has to offer. Would highly recommend especially if you want to hear about a different side to Bath’s past.

Really enjoyed a couple of hours with Simon looking at some of the sights of Bath , with a great insight into some of the darker aspects of historical Bath . We ended up on a tour of 2 with Simon who shared his wealth of knowledge and gave us a great summary of Bath's Georgian history. Would highly recommend .
