Book your preferred tour option, and meet your guide in central Bath. Then, set off to explore on foot, learning about the UNESCO-listed city and its architecture on route.
Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa and littered with classical treasures, Bath flourished in the 18th century with the development of its honey-stoned, Georgian architecture.
Admire Pulteney Bridge and Gothic Bath Abbey, the coronation site of England’s first king in 973, and then continue to Bath’s showpiece: the Roman Baths.
Pay the entrance fee (depending on option selected) and tour the stunning, column-lined Great Bath and changing rooms, hot pools, and other facilities, all once used for relaxation and socializing by ancient Romans.
See the hot springs, and view the main artifacts in the museum collections, including the famous Minerva’s Head and inscribed stone tablets.
Next, delve into the historical town center to admire its Georgian architecture. See the Pump Rooms and Upper Assembly Rooms, and walk to the world-famous Royal Crescent. Drink in the sumptuous sweep of this 18th-century terrace, and admire the Circus, a circular-shaped terrace formed from curving segments.
After learning about these architectural masterpieces, your tour finishes in the city center.

We were booked onto the 4pm tour and found this to be a perfect time as the sun wasn’t as strong and there were fewer people around than had been earlier in the day. Our guide, Luke, was knowledgeable and engaging - sharing a good amount of history and background in an amusing manner without going too deep and losing the audience. We had the Roman bath tickets package where we visited the site at the end of the tour and used the audio guides to explore the exhibition at our own pace. A nice surprise to the Baths visit was the acoustic music and bar by the main pool which made for a very pleasant start to a chilled evening before heading to dinner.

Daniel was knowledgeable and easy to talk to during the tour. Was easy to book. Could use clearer instructions as to where to meet the guide.

John was our guide and was fantastic. Excellent commentary and pace. Helped us appreciate the area. Bath city center has a good deal of places to see.

Well worth the money, I'd seen a lot just walking around but it was great to understand what I was looking at and the history of it all. Guide was great and had extensive knowledge.

VERY MISLEADING TITLE!!!
The Roman Baths itself was NOT included we payed a good sum to go on this tour only to find out it is an added extra regardless of the title for the booking.
In fact they messaged me to let me know about this after booking and have a NO refund policy.
I’m sure the walking tour is good but we did not attend as we wanted to see the baths themselves and paid separately to do so after finding this out.
If they are aware of this being an issue they should have a refund or even a partial refund option instead of messaging people to essentially ask them for more money to do what they wanted in the first place.
It’s a shame because I literally booked this for my partners 26th birthday as she had always wanted to go, I don’t earn a lot of money anyway and this trip had cost so much already so to have to pay for another tour was just something I could have done without.

Wonderful guided tour and great storytelling by our guide, Ewan! Very informative. Would highly recommend.

A nice experience with a knowledgeable guide. The highlight was the story about the rug. The Roman baths reminded me of the Asterix stories.

Great communication when we weren’t sure where to be we were called to let us know where to go. Lucas our guide was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, personable, and gave good pace for the walk.
Gave time for us to take photos but was also receptive when asked to take photos.
Love the group picture idea at the end!

It was a well-educated tour learning about Bath history. My tour guide was very passionate in telling story!
Brad_N, Jun 2026
Very good walking tour of Bath with a recent Bath university graduate. Good, interesting information about the historical sites and stories of Bath. We got the add-on to include entry to the Roman Baths, which was worth it, but the tour would have been complete had entry to the abbey been included. (We paid separately for it).
Martha_T, May 2026
