Romans, Royals and Regency Bath Self Guided Tour with App
Description
Walk through 2,000 years of history with this self-guided walking tour— from the ancient baths that gave this UNESCO city its name, to the Georgian backgrounds where Bridgerton was filmed and Jane Austen set two of her novels. Along the way, you can decide if you prefer Georgian era buildings in a square, circle or a crescent! As you walk you will encounter bakeries with 300-year-old recipes, hear why Princess Victoria never returned to Bath after a single visit, and find out what really happened at those Assembly Room balls. This tour is the perfect introduction to Bath if you are a first time visitor. You can pause the tour whenever you want to step into and explore a sight further and then resume the tour. The walk has 13 stops that take you uphill from the picturesque Pultney bridge to the famous Royal Crescent. Start anytime with no group to keep up with and no schedule to follow. Available in 9 languages.

Places and descriptions are well selected. Full score. Without headphones and with the smartphone at my ear, the app often jumps out of the current post. Point deduction.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat, und wir schätzen Ihren Hinweis zur Nutzung ohne Kopfhörer, da er uns hilft, die App weiter zu verbessern.
Fabulous audio tour of Bath. You can walk about at your own pace and start / stop the audio whenever you like to suit your agenda. It is informative and without doing this reasonably priced tour we would not have seen the city so thoroughly not known what we were looking at. Very affordable and definitely worth the money. The information given during the tour was just about right. Not too much so you get bored but enough to give a flavour of the city.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Bath at your own pace and found the tour informative and good value.
The tour was great. Easy to follow and lots of info it was super cheap I would highly recommend it for the price. If we had been there longer I would have done more of them
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and found it good value. We’d love to welcome you back for more tours next time!
This tour was excellent. It allowed us the freedom of exploring Bath on our own and in our own time but gave us a list of places to visit and great information on each location. It made our experience in Bath a lot more enjoyable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review! We really appreciate it and we are glad that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to guide you again in a different location in the future. Best regards, The Tourific team
We were really happy with the guide. Maybe that’s why I miss it going a little deeper at the ‘big historical places’. I don't know what it should be. I just got more curious and it's probably a compliment in itself.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear that you were satisfied with the guide and that the tour sparked even more curiosity in you. We fully understand the wish for deeper information at the major historical sites and will take your feedback into account as we continue developing the tours. We hope to welcome you on another experience in the future. Best regards, The Tourific Team
Great way of experiencing the town with all its sights and the stunning architecture low key. You can start, stop, pause whenever you feel like it. We will certainly chose this way of learning about a new place again!
