Free Walking Tours of Bath

An excellent (and free) walking tour of Bath by Volunteers - we had Diana and she was knowledgeable, fun and took great care of the group. The tour covers the major sights in Bath over the 2 hour tour.

Great Tour, Ken was a great guide

The walking tour was wonderful, with a great overview of the history of Bath. Ken was a great guide and he was nice enough to give us heaps of fun facts that you won't find in your own research.

There was a huge mass of people waiting for the start time, but the six guides spilt us into six groups, which made the numbers very manageable. Our guide, Dan, was very knowledgeable and just as enthusiastic. He took us to all sorts of places...More
