About this tour
Walk through Bath's finest Georgian quarters with a local guide who knows the city's social history inside out. Over three hours, you'll pause at three characterful pubs to taste regional ales and ciders, sampling what locals actually drink. The tour strings together Bath's most significant architectural landmarks while unpicking the town's 18th-century life and times. A proper introduction to both the built landscape and the drinking culture that shaped it.

What to expect
Expect a steady pace around Bath's compact centre, stopping frequently to look up at facades and listen to stories about who lived behind them and why. Your guide will point out details most visitors miss—the craftsmanship, the urban planning decisions, the class divisions written into the stonework. At each pub, you'll have time to settle in, chat, and taste what's on tap without feeling hurried. The three half pints are spread across the walk, so nothing heavy. You'll cover the main sights but from a local's perspective rather than a tick-box tour.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed—it's three hours on foot with pub stops, not a gentle stroll. Minimum two people required. Bring comfortable shoes. Under-18s get soft drinks instead of alcohol. Tips aren't included. Getting to the start point is your responsibility; check local transport links.
