Best way to visit Bath for first-timers - Well worth it, not having to drive (nor park) in Bath! Informative audio, helpful, kind drivers. Beautiful old city architecture, especially as seen from top of double-decker bus.

Way about town - Nice way to get around the city and see attractions. The two tours are about 45mins each. I would recommend others to make time to hop off at some key places and have a closer look. I didn't have much time but would have loved to see the prior park, Royal cresecnt and Jane Austen museum. Do the in city tour as soon as you arrive so you know where everything is.

A great experience - take both trips, city and skyline - So glad we took both trips. We saw so much of the city that we would never have seen otherwise, and it was beautiful! Earphones and map supplied, very good commentary to describe what we were seeing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Good look around Bath, not a large place. Good commentary with history and facts. Money off for some attractions. - Good look around Bath, not a large place. Good commentary with history and facts. Money off for some attractions. Some tight corners!

Good way to see Bath - Second time on this tour. Enjoyed it, but the audio guide wasn't tailored for children so didn't keep their interest. They liked being high up, looking at everything. The basic circuit takes about 45 mins. Lots of stopping. Staff at the bus stop by the Abbey didn't seem overly happy with their work, although the driver himself was friendly. Bit of a swizzle that the skyline bus only went every hour so we didn't end up with enough time to fit that in and I'd really been looking forward to doing that. Feels a bit overpriced for what it is. Viator requires an app install just to get the ticket with QR code on to show the driver, which was a pain, and I found their app hard to navigate too.

Bath Bus Trip - Normally, I love these bus trips, but I do feel the drivers were not really feeling the love. The information on the headset was okay, but it was a small circuit, and it felt a little overpriced. Would recommend it only if you had mobility issues.

Need to review tour routes and commentary - I was dissappointed at how underwhelming this tour was. I was looking forward to enjoying Bath this way.I concur with prior visitor about tbis being one of my bottom 20 city tours. Needs to change.Can hardly see anything or voew of city on the Skyline tour due to tree coverage perhaps even tbe route. Except for tbe avon river being river river commentary was pretty boring and the volume controls were working properly hope this can be changed the routes and commentary its a shame indeed as how pretty the city is from the ground but one wonders whats really the city about and its history except the shops restaurant and queen Victoria hating the place. Please improve so we come back again be good to know spa places also.

Bus driver driving too fast - The routes planned are good. Staff outside were available if you have any questions. However I was with two kids on the skyline route next to palladian bridge. We just missed the bus so waited 20 mins for the next bus which was fine. But the bus driver driver for the next bus drove so fast and missed us even though we were waving hands he saw us too. I had to get a taxi in the end which is unfair when we paid nearly £50 for 1 adult 2 children what a rip off when it's not reliable
