Itinerary
Standing proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be a designated UNESCO World Heritage site in its entirety. The city’s stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture, the gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey and the romantic Pulteney Bridge (modelled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio) are all sights you’ll want to linger on!
The Royal Crescent is a series of 30 terraced buildings in Bath, England, built out in a sweeping crescent. It is a Grade I listed structure that was designed by architect John Wood, the Younger and erected between 1767 and 1774. It is one of the best examples of Georgian architecture in the UK. Although the numerous interiors have seen significant changes throughout the years, the Georgian stone exterior has remained largely unchanged since its construction. The 500-foot-long crescent features 114 Ionic columns on the first floor and a Palladian-style entablature above. With its views over the parkland opposite, it was the first crescent of terraced dwellings to be built and an example of "rus in urbe." Since it was created over 240 years ago, many noteworthy people have lived or stayed in the Royal Crescent, and some are honoured on unique plaques affixed to the respective buildings.
Standing proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be a designated UNESCO World Heritage site in its entirety. The city’s stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture, the gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey and the romantic Pulteney Bridge (modelled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio) are all sights you’ll want to linger on! Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Bath Abbey is one of the most impressive examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the British Isles. The mediaeval abbey church served as a bishop's cathedral at times.
Bath, the gorgeous city of Bath was the first city in England to be designated an UNESCO World Heritage site. Standing on the banks of the picturesque River Avon, explore all the city has to offer, including the gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey, the spectacular Georgian architecture and, modelled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio, the romantic Pulteney Bridge.
Roman Baths and Pump Rooms, a visit to the Roman Baths is an absolute must when visiting the city that is named after them. This beautiful and well-preserved bathing complex still flows with water from Britain’s only hot spring. Watch the twinkling torch–lighting ceremony as dusk falls (not applicable in summer) and have a taste of Bath’s healing waters in the Pump Room, a stunning neo–classical salon.
Mysterious Stonehenge, we may never get to discover the true meaning of the ancient, awe-inspiring structure of Stonehenge. Perhaps the stone circle was a temple for sun worship, a place for healing, a massive calendar or a sacred burial site? Marvel at the beauty and speculate about how our ancestors managed to transport these mighty stones and erect this amazing structure? Shrouded by mystery and magic, Stonehenge will never fail to impress. Estimated arrival time back in London is around 7pm.

Amanda was an amazing tour guide. The Bus driver was top notch...probably the most skilled bus driver I have ever seen. The tour was not what we booked. We were told upon arrival that it was now a bi-lingual tour with English and Mandarin. Amanda did well but it felt like she had to share her time and attention. The schedule was not what we booked. We booked a trip where the itinerary was Bath first which would put us at Stonehenge around the time of the Eclipse. We were not told this was changed until we were on the bus. Later we were told Stonehenge closes at 3pm so all schedules were changed. Also, we were not dropped off at the meeting point as shown on the website. We were dropped at a completely different place. Amanda explained this from the beginning. But still, as a tourist from out of the country this can be off-putting. This all should have been updated on the Viator website.
An amazing day trip to Stonehenge and the Roman Baths! Guide Calvin brought incredible energy and rich history to the stops, while the driver kept the long-distance coach ride smooth and safe. Stonehenge felt truly magical, and Bath was gorgeous. Highly recommended for a well-organized adventure!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing day exploring Stonehenge and Bath. It’s wonderful to know that Calvin brought the history to life and that you enjoyed the journey as well. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Wei was an excellent guide and she was well versed with everything around and was a thorough professional. She ensured that our trip was every penny worth. Similarly the driver of the bus Adam was very decent and nice. Wei is a real star of Golden Travels. Her diction of English language and her modulation was perfect. Her funny anecdotes in between ensured that we were all attentive to what she was describing about. Thanks to Wei and Adam again.

The tour started on time and the agreed-upon departure times were also kept throughout the rest of the trip. The bus was air-conditioned and clean. Our guide Peter put a lot of effort into making the excursion interesting. His historical digressions were always informative and entertainingly presented. Our driver Romeo did a very good job. I never felt unsafe during the entire trip. The time at Stonehenge was sufficient; for Bath, it could have been more than 3 hours. I recommend booking the tickets in advance, as the tickets for the Roman Baths can be sold out on-site or you should expect waiting times.
Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und wunderbare Bewertung. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit der pünktlichen Durchführung der Tour, dem sauberen und klimatisierten Bus sowie der Betreuung durch unseren Guide Peter zufrieden waren. Besonders schön ist es zu hören, dass seine historischen Erläuterungen informativ und unterhaltsam waren. Auch unser Fahrer Romeo wird sich sicherlich über Ihre freundlichen Worte freuen. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich während der gesamten Fahrt sicher gefühlt haben. Vielen Dank auch für Ihr hilfreiches Feedback zur Aufenthaltsdauer in Bath und für den Hinweis, Eintrittskarten für die Römischen Bäder im Voraus zu buchen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder auf einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen.

Peter, our guide, was as excelent as our bus driver, Elvio.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a great experience with Peter and Elvio. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon.
Great tour overall. Calvin the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The driver Calvinder took a great scenic route. We arrived to Bath at about 3pm without having any chance to eat lunch and we immediately started the group tour of the Roman Bath house. A suggestion would be to have the tour meet at the Bath house at the end of the time in Bath to give everyone time to eat. The coach was also 15 minutes late to pick up and returned at 8:30pm. But these large group tours are never perfect.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Calvin's knowledge and Calvinder's driving helped make it a great experience. We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the schedule in Bath and the timing of the tour. Your comments will be shared with our team as we continue to improve our tours. We hope to welcome you again soon.
