Overview

Take a city break from London to discover the secret stories of Bath in the Georgian and Regency periods, from Jane Austen's writing to Beau Nash's parties.

With this private self-guided tour, wander through the Georgian Gardens and onto the Royal Crescent, one of the filming locations of the famous hit Netflix series “Bridgerton”.

Poke your head in the Theatre Royal and Assembly Rooms to get a taste of how people from the Regency era liked to kick back and relax. 

Transport yourselves in this adventure of literature and history by finishing off the tour at the Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein and the Jane Austen Centre, two of Bath's best-known writers.

This is a nice introduction to Austen’s Bath - both her own life experiences and the two books that reference it, with lots of humour and fondness from the guides.

It was fun and educational walking and listening to all the history. In expensive way to take an informative tour. Would use again if going to bath
