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

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. The tour operators say it’s our fault that we didn’t guess that our…”

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.”

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!”

I added the visit to the Baths, which is separate from the walking tour, the audio was both fascinating and informative, great queuing system for admission using time slots, the queue looked long and daunting but moved very quickly. Definitely book the Baths in advance, as part of this tour or as a separate booking. Would definitely recommend both.”
