The tour includes a guided visit inside the city's most famous attraction - the Roman Baths - one of the best preserved remains of an ancient Roman spa. During the tour you will be shown the hot springs and have the opportunity to taste the waters which is what attracted visitors in the 18th Century.

Today you will have a private tour of the must-see attractions located in the area surrounding Bath. The tour includes:

• Visit to Cheddar, the birth-place of the world's most popular cheese: Cheddar Cheese. Includes a visit to a small cheese factory - the only one still producing Cheddar Cheese in Cheddar. There will be an opportunity to try a variety of their cheeses including one which is matured in local caves.

Day Three:

This was our first time traveling to England and my wife and I figured, lets do this right. Disembarking from the QM2 at Southampton we were met by Daniel, on time, prepared and a well versed tour guide. He owns the company and is local to the area, born and raised in Bath. He drove us places that I could not find again if I tried. Narrow country roads, farm produce stands, major attractions and each and everyone was delightful, well planned and very British. We are walkers and he delivered a diverse and interesting agenda, they only thing out his control was the weather, but he was even prepared for that, providing rain gear and umbrellas out of his well stocked backpack. The only concern I had was prior to us booking the trip. A no refund policy was something that caused me to hesitate. His company is small, and he needs to reserve hotel space in advance during peak travel periods, all of which is nonrefundable to him. But he delivered 100% on his advertised tour, and then some, it way better than we anticipated and he runs a very good operation.
