What To Expect
The tour starts in the morning or afternoon at the Bath Abbey in the city center, where you will meet your guide and begin with a string of sites including Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey, the site of the coronation of the first King of England in 973. You then proceed to the first highlight of the tour, the Roman Baths. Your guide will lead the group into the Baths (if option selected) to see the fascinating items and legacies left in Bath by the Romans during their occupation of the area, and to witness the miraculous phenomenon of Bath's hot geothermal springs. In the second half of the tour, you will also take in the enchanting Georgian architecture of this charming town. From the magnificent Royal Crescent to the mysterious Circus, you see the best of the pomp and luxury of the 18th century. We proceed from the central Pump Rooms to the lavish Upper Assembly Rooms and, finally, arrive at the sumptuous Royal Crescent and the mysterious Circus, Bath offers a stunning variety of breathtaking architectural gems.

3.00I 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.
