Overview

During my time in Bath I studied the history of Bath, its architects and residents who made this UNESCO World Heritage City a historical jewel. The legacy of Jane Austen’s writing and reading her novels inspired me to gain extensive knowledge about her time before and while she lived in Bath and after leaving Bath as well as the significance Bath had on her writing.

Tour reviews underline my unique approach catering to individual personal or group needs, expectations and appreciations .
