What to expect
You'll follow an app-guided route uphill through Bath's neighbourhoods, stopping at key buildings and monuments to listen to context and stories. Each location is observed from outside; there's no requirement to enter attractions. The pace is entirely yours—linger at a Georgian square if it appeals, skip ahead if you prefer, or restart sections later. Commentary covers architectural styles, social history (including Princess Victoria's single visit), and the real stories behind Assembly Room balls. Expect roughly two hours of walking and listening combined.
