Great tour with Nicholas

Nicholas (Gokham) was a fantastic guide for our Bath, Lacock, and Stonehenge tour. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept the day interesting from start to finish. The tour was well worth it, and his commentary added a lot to the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Informative and Entertaining

Tom was delightful tour guide. He was informative and entertaining, without being over the top. He had the right blend of humor and commentary. Tom also had the right mix of talking and quiet. Really glad we got him as our guide for the day.
