DAY TOURS TO BATH FROM LONDON ULTIMATE GUIDE
Like a page out of a Jane Austen novel, Bath is one of the few cities left in England that feels like it is trapped in time. While London was becoming the thriving, cosmopolitan city that it is today, Bath has always managed to keep its classic, Georgian feel thanks to its stunning architecture and well-preserved Roman baths that are still in use today.
If you’re hoping to visit Bath during your trip to London or join a free walking tour there, there are a ton of great rail and bus connections so you can easily get to Bath and back in one day. However, navigating around Bath can be tricky, not to mention that you will have to walk up and down a few hills in order to reach its main attractions.
If you’re looking around for a reputable tour company that offers tours from London to Bath in one day, here are some of the many options to choose from:
From London to Bath with Premium Tours
Premium Tours doesn’t offer tours directly from London to Bath alone, so if you don’t mind visiting a few other places along with Bath, you can choose from the following two routes:
Tickets for their Stonehenge and Bath with entry to the Roman Baths Museum tour costs:
- £145 for adults
- £135 for children (3-16)
- £142 for seniors (60+) and students
From London to Bath with Golden Tours
Golden Tours may not have the greatest reviews when compared to other tour companies based out of London, but with all the different options available for tours between London and Bath, they’re kind of hard to beat.
Golden Tours have not one, but five different tours operating between London to Bath which range from day trips by rail or open-top buses.
Their Day Trip to Bath by Rail with Roman Baths or Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour includes return train tickets to Bath, meet and greet at Paddington station, entrance to the Roman Baths or a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour, and an audio guide in several languages. Before heading to Bath, all customers must use the code provided at any ticket machine at Paddington Station to get the train tickets for the train at 9:00 a.m.
Upon arriving in Bath, you are welcome to stroll around the city at your own pace. Your return tickets offer the option to travel back to Paddington between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Tickets for their Day Trip to Bath by Rail with Roman Baths and Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour costs £119 for adults and £101 for children (5-15 years)
But if you want to be escorted by a guide, then you may want to choose their Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge Tour. Not only does this tour include free entry into the royal residence of Windsor Castle and Queen Elizabeth II's final resting place, but also a return transportation on a coach with an expert guide. The tour takes around 11 hours, so bear in mind that is a full day activity. Also, this tour is not available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, since the Windsor Castle is closed.
