Highly recommended - Excellent tour. A very well informed guide (Julia...I think!), who not only gave a historical talk around each area we visited, but answered questions along the way. I would highly recommend this walk.

Bath Walking Tour with Jess - Weather on Saturday was terrible but that didn't dampen Jess our guide's enthusiasm and charm. We were a very large group but Jess managed to be heard by everyone and to keep us all fully engaged. I was never very good at history at school and only found my interest as an adult. What we learned about Bath, and the history behind all the characters who moulded the city and architecture was delivered in such an interesting and informative way. Thanks Jess

Excellent history of Bath & its architecture while viewing the most important sites - Julia led 11 of us on an interesting and diverse 2 hour walking tour of Bath. She was knowledgeable on architecture of Bath as a backdrop to the history of Bath and of England as a nation. She was able to slip us into a non public entrance to the Roman baths for a discussion of what the baths meant in Rome as well as the Georgian baths built over it. She also discussed the archeology that occurred when Roman baths were rediscovered.
An excellent tour of the city: the Circus, the Crescent, the Abbey, the Pulteney Bridge. All worth seeing and learning about.

Historical Bath with its stories - The information and stories told bring Bath alive as you walk around the city.
So many places we would of just passed by with out knowing when and why they were built.
