We enjoyed learning about the history of the Royal Crescent in Bath. We enjoyed seeing the outside of the Assembly Rooms, and the covered walkways. Information about the history of the Pulteney Bridge was interesting. However, we often got lost and had to keep going back to see where we had turned the wrong way. Instructions seemed to be missing. We were disappointed that the audioguide would say, "Go inside", but we couldn't get in. I wouldn't recommend this experience to friends.
