We went on Andy’s tour as soon as we arrived in Bath so that we could decide what to explore further on our own, and we weren’t disappointed. Andy took our group around all the city highlights, filling in with lots of interesting stories and general information about the city and its history. We highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed Andrew’s walking tour of Bath. Although it was raining throughout the tour, Andrew kept us entertained and motivated with his knowledge and anecdotes of information.

Bath has free city walking tours leaving daily by the walking tour sign outside the pump room of the Bath Abbey churchyard, Sun-Fri at 10:30 and 14:00 and Sat 10:30 only, additional walks May-Aug, Tues and Thurs at 18:00. The tour is about 2 hours long and was a highlight of my visit to Bath. The group that gathered at the sign was large, so four blue badge city guides split those waiting into groups of about 15 each, for a small group size. Mike C., the guide of my group, made the history of the town come alive with his lively presentation of town history, story telling and inclusion of interesting details. He welcomed questions, frequently asking if there were any, resulting in active participation of the group. He was very personable, visiting with participants as we walked from place to place. He was also extremely generous with his time, offering to answer any additional questions that people might have at the end. These tours are of exceptional quality with Mike C. an example of the amazing volunteer guides. I couldn't recommend more! Pam from Oregon, USA

I took a noon train from London to the Bath Spa station so I booked a 2-hour walking tour since I'd never visited before. I learned a lot from our very knowledgeable tour guide and these walking tours are a great value for learning a new city.
