Walking Tour of Bath with Blue Badge Tourist Guide

1.Walking Tour of Bath with Blue Badge Tourist Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,877 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $30Our pick

Walk central Bath with a certified Blue Badge guide, visiting Bath Abbey, Queen Square, the Royal Crescent, The Circus, Pulteney Bridge, Sally Lunn’s, and the Roman Baths entrance. Guides such as Jess, Andrew, Victoria, Andy, and Owen bring history, architecture, Jane Austen, and local stories to life. Choose a morning or afternoon start.

“My husband and I traveled by train from London for this tour (£150). We were at the site 15m early and stayed for 1/2 hour. No guide showed up with the flag/banner we were told to look for. No one shouted out that this was the blue badge tour guide. We left and were very disappointed. It cost quite a lot to travel to Bath for the tour. Now we are told there will be no refund and that the guide was carrying an orange and white umbrella. Nowhere did the listing say to look for that.

Roman Baths and Bath City Walking Tour

2.Roman Baths and Bath City Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 762 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $35

Walk central Bath with guides such as Jamie, George, John, William, and Will, then visit the Roman Baths if you choose that option. The roughly two-hour route covers Bath Abbey, Pulteney Bridge, the Pump Rooms, Royal Crescent, and the Circus. Expect a small group of up to 15, morning or afternoon departures, and plenty of walking.

“I would not recommend this tour because the only details of the meeting point was the Abbey and post code. The Abbey is hugh so we didn't know if it was front back side or what. Amazingly we found it just by coincidence. The guid had no sighn up saying who she was and all the other groups around did. The guid was lovely but was very quietly spoke so we couldn't hear most of it. Please create a sighn and give the guid a sound amplifier. For these reasons I wouldn't use this company again.”

He brought the world of Bridgerton to life through reenactments, behind-the-scenes stories, personal videos from set sightings, and fun quizzes along the way. His deep knowledge of the show and history made it immersive and entertaining. As a male guide leading a largely female fanbase, he was a refreshing and respectful voice who truly represented the male audience beautifully. Highly recommend!”

At The Soul Spa in Bath, Madeline, Phoenix, Sarah, or another trained host guides you through calming meditation before crystal singing bowls fill the room with sound.

“Mentor guided us with her claiming voice in the beginning to relaxation. Then she performed the music and sound therapy that led me to the state between consciousness and unconsciousness. It feels like I am away from the material world and regain inner peace. I did a 30-minute session but next time I would try a 1-hour session.”
