The best Bath private tours

Private tours in Bath fall into two groups. In the city, you can book a three-hour walk with a local guide, a two-hour Blue Badge walk, a smartphone photography walk or a rock and roll history walk. Outside the city, a driver guide can take you to Stonehenge, Stonehenge and Avebury, Lacock and Castle Combe, Cotswold villages, or Glastonbury and Wells, with one tour pairing Stonehenge with a tour of Bath.

City walks last two to three hours. At the time of checking, the three-hour walk was listed from £110 and the Blue Badge walk from £225, and both titles quote a price per group. The photography walk was listed from £40. Countryside tours last from about three hours to a full day, and were listed from £185 for the Lacock and Castle Combe afternoon to £1,100 for full days in the Cotswolds or to Glastonbury and Wells.

Before you book

Check whether a price is per person or per group, as it makes a big difference for families. Ask whether entry fees, such as Stonehenge, are included. Private guides can plan a route with fewer hills if anyone in your group has limited mobility.
