A tour company founded by a Bowerhill resident is marking its 10th anniversary this month.
In and Beyond Bath was launched in 2016 by Jules Mittra, who previously worked in teaching, after starting the business from a spare room with a focus on guided travel experiences in the South West.
Jules said the idea for the business developed during a trip to Peru and from a desire to create more personal travel experiences.
The company offers private and small-group tours across Bath, the Cotswolds, Stonehenge and surrounding areas, with a focus on local storytelling and less crowded itineraries.
It now employs 15 people and has received recognition including a Gold Award at the 2024 to 2025 Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards, along with multiple TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards.
Jules said, “From its very first tour, In and Beyond Bath was built on a formula that was genuinely new to the industry: combining the iconic must-sees of the region with the extraordinary and unexpected, held together by expert local knowledge, unhurried pacing and a genuine investment in the experience of every guest. Maximum group sizes of eight ensure the intimacy and personal attention the company is known for.”
Looking ahead, he said he hopes to move towards B Corporation status and employee ownership as the business continues to grow.
