As a Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP), Visit West actively works with, and alongside, many organisations who offer transport services, guided tours and B2B itinerary packages.
The Visit West Travel Trade team works with a wide range of tour operators and Destination Management Companies (DMCs) across Bath, Bristol and beyond to ensure our destinations are featured within bookable itineraries.
See a selection of intermediaries below who are offering B2B packages for both group and FIT clients that can be incorporated into your programmes. These may include dedicated regional itineraries or form part of broader tours encompassing other areas of the Great Britain and Ireland.
Visit West actively collaborates with organisations across the region to expand this portfolio of experiences year on year. We are always keen to explore new opportunities and welcome conversations with partners interested in developing and promoting compelling visitor experiences in Bristol, Bath and beyond.
Groups visiting the Bath and Bristol region have a wealth of tour guides and sightseeing options available to them.
Visit West can recommend local guides or scheduled walking tours giving an overview of the destination or on a particular theme; think TV and Film, Bridgerton, street art, food and drink, beer, local stories, or ghosts. There are several self-guided walking tours available on different themes too.
If buses and boats are more your style, City Sightseeing is available in Bath and both cities offer a variety of boat trips, including a cream tea boat tour from Bristol Packet Boat Trips, which travels underneath Clifton Suspension Bridge.
