Hi, I'm Richard, and I've lived in Bath for over 30 years. I love Bath and I love showing people around the city and the surrounding countryside. I've been a guide for various organisations for nearly 15 years, and I have a passion not only for the history and culture of the city, but also for its community and people.

Tour description

Bath is one of the most visited cities in England, with a unique history stretching back to pre-Roman times. Its fame and fortune are closely linked to the unique hot springs and the people and societies that have used the thermal waters over the last 2500 years.
Famed for its Roman Baths, magnificent Georgian architecture, and beautiful natural setting amid 7 green hills, Bath is unique in holding two UNESCO World Heritage accolades, one of the few places in the world to do so. Its connections with Jane Austen and Mary Shelley provide an alternative history of the city.
A standard two-hour walking tour of the city takes in all the major sights, including:

  • The City Centre with its Abbey
  • Queen Square
  • The Royal Crescent
  • The Circus
  • The Assembly Rooms
  • The Baths
  • Pulteney Bridge. 


With an amusing and engaging commentary outlining the story of the city over the last 2500 years, via the Romans, Jane Austen, and Frankenstein, the tour is led by an experienced and engaging guide who has lived in the city for over 30 years and who will happily tailor the tour to meet all requests and requirements.
The tour starts and ends outside the Guild Hall in the city centre.
For a unique tour in this wonderful and captivating city tailored to your needs and interests, book with me, Richard.
