1.00After having had excellent experiences of using Viator in the USA, this one left us sorely disappointed. This fee is to be able to download an App that offers commentary on a walking tour across Bath. Totally different from what I was looking for. Was further deceived into thinking I was getting into something else when the email from Viator asked me to go to their office to collect my tickets. That office was closed and pointed to another location where they had re-located and there was no office in that second building either. The phone number to call was a non-UK number which no longer existed. Seemed like a scam.
very bad experience.

3.00This is a good idea and was great to start with. But then the App kept crashing. I had to uninstall and reinstall three times and gave up in the end. I did message someone about it but I just got told to make sure I was online...which I was. I also had problems with the audio not playing properly when it was working at the beginning so all in all I'd not recommend this.

5.00What a fantastic idea. Wandered around Bath at our leisure with directions from the app and great commentary from Helen at every location. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to wonder around your location without any pressure to move from one location to another.
Good but a few glitches with app

5.00Self guided tours are the best! They allow you to go at your own pace and are a fraction of the cost of a group tour. This tour even included recommendations for ice cream and pubs and coffee shops. Delightful!
an expert guide in your pocket

5.00We chose this audio tour app for Bath because of the limited time there and the price, to be fair..... the guide is exceptional, with very good information which you can select from the active map on your phone or each point of interest... the map gives an accurate location of where you are which is so useful.... it also includes a 3d map of the roman baths..... very recommended
