There is a bit of uphill walking (around 3 blocks worth) to the Circle and Crescent but once there, no worries. Also, there are no audio devices so you should be ready to move within hearing range of the guide. That said, it accomplishes the goal of seeing many of the highlights of Bath in 2 hours. Do pay extra and go into the Roman Baths. That is audio enabled with devices. We had Astor (?) and she was a terrific and patient guide!
