About this tour
A four-hour guided walk through Bath led by a Blue Badge guide—Britain's most rigorous tourist qualification. You'll explore the Georgian terraces, hidden gardens like Victoria Park, and the Pulteney Estate beyond the usual circuit. Your guide contextualises Bath within British history and geography, breaking up the walk with a coffee stop. The pace is deliberately unhurried, designed for genuine understanding rather than box-ticking. Roman Baths and Bath Abbey entries can be arranged in advance for an extra fee, with your guide providing interpretation inside.

What to expect
You'll start in the city centre and gradually move outwards, discovering how Bath was designed and why it matters. Your guide won't rush through talking points; instead, you'll pause to absorb details—the proportions of a terrace, the logic of the street layout, the stories of the people who lived here. A coffee stop offers a natural breather. If you've pre-arranged museum visits, your guide will accompany you inside, deepening the context. Expect a conversational tone rather than a lecture.
Good to know
Book any Roman Baths or Abbey entry at least a day ahead by emailing your guide—spaces aren't guaranteed. The route is fully accessible for wheelchairs and prams. Moderate fitness helps, though the pace is leisurely. Public transport links are nearby. Service animals welcome.
