Great tour, great town, Great weekend - We will be back to explore more - Our Guide was a joy. She was knowledgable and involved us all in the story of Bath and the history of the place. As she started to explaing the history of Bath, we realised that we were standing on top of the Roman Bath complex we had visited the day before. She gave us a great insite ino the history, architecture, culture and feel of the Bath, and it was lovely to be guided round by someone who loved the place so much. We got some great tips for lunch too!

Highly recommend you take this - Loved the walking tour. I learned so much from this tour regarding the history of Bath. I found it so interesting. The following day I went back to some of the locations and took my time looking around. Bath is such a beautiful city. One of my favourite stops so far in England.

Get your steps in.. - This was suggested to us by our hosts in Bath, and it did not disappoint. We had enjoyed a stroll around Bath previously, but the detailed historical account narrated by our guide Owen was amazing. We both thoroughly enjoyed the view and little areas of interest missed by us. Would recommend this for anyone keen to learn more about regency Bath!

Nicely done - Julia really had a friendly demeanor and strong knowledge of the Bath city area. Very well done. Subtracting one star, however, because it is very difficult to hear and this tour should have some kind of headphones or speaker to make it easier to hear her speak and a decent portion of her commentary couldn't be heard.
