Overview

Explore the beautiful city of Bath, home of Jane Austen and a UNESCO World Heritage Site built on underground bubbling thermal springs by the Romans in the 1st century AD. With elegant, honey-coloured architecture, it was made famous for its healing waters, first by the ancient Romans, and later by the Georgians.

You will explore the elegant Georgian streets and townhouses, and you’ll learn all about the people who made Bath famous – not least Jane Austen who lived out her final years here.

Enjoy the gentle atmosphere and boutique shops as you stroll down the hill, passing Queen Square, the Theatre Royal and the Assembly Rooms, towards the beautiful Pulteney Bridge which crosses the Avon, and is often compared to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence and the Rialto in Venice.

Your last stop with your guide will be a fully guided tour of the magnificent interior of Bath Abbey!
