The Experience

Bath has drawn visitors since the 1700s, and the reason is still visible: the Royal Crescent, the Circus and Queen's Square are Georgian architecture at its finest, built by John Wood and his son. This tour walks you past all three, introducing each landmark's history as you move through the city. Between the sightseeing, you stop at the delis and artisan food sellers Bath has accumulated over centuries (the kind of place locals know and tourists miss), and taste 4 to 5 items as you go. The guide handles the route and the history. You handle the eating.

The tour introduces the Roman Baths from outside (entry inside is not included, though the guide explains what you're looking at). You'll also pass Bath Abbey. The walking pace is steady but manageable, and the route is wheelchair accessible. If you want to book entry to any venue in advance, you can request that when you reserve. The whole thing runs 2.5 to 3 hours, which means you can fit it into a morning or an afternoon without losing the rest of your day in Bath.
