What you'll do

This relaxed introduction to Bath begins when you meet your local guide and have a quick chat about your interests—since this is a private experience, they'll personalize the route to suit you and your preferences. First-time visitors might want a well-rounded stroll through the UNESCO-listed city's highlights, while history lovers can focus on Bath's Roman roots and 18th-century heyday. If you're a literary buff, opt for a Jane Austen-themed route, or live out your period drama fantasies with a focus on the city's most famous filming locations (including plenty of backdrops featured in Bridgerton).

Whatever route you choose, your guide will help bring the city's history and culture to life with their entertaining, informative commentary, pointing out hidden corners known only to locals and sharing stories of famous (and infamous) Bath residents. You might wander through Royal Victoria Park for panoramic views over the city, follow the graceful curves of the Royal Crescent to admire the finest Georgian architecture in the UK, or head to the Jane Austen Museum to hear why Regency Bath was such rich fodder for her novels. (This is strictly a sightseeing walk, so you won't go inside any of the locations.)

After working up an appetite on some of Bath's famous inclines, you'll wind down with a final stroll to a small, family-owned teahouse in a historic Georgian building. Here you'll part ways with your guide, take a seat in the cozy dining room, and enjoy an hour-long afternoon tea service that includes all the classics—think trays of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and plenty of delectable desserts.
