TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Bath from London to Southampton Private Tour

This private tour starts in London or at Heathrow Airport and drives to Bath, about 115 miles (185km) west of London, before ending with a transfer to the Southampton cruise terminal.

Bath has welcomed visitors for hundreds of years, built around the 116 degree mineral hot springs that rise from a point in the center of town. When the Romans arrived in Britain, they built an extensive bath house on the site, modeled on those found throughout the Roman Empire.

In the Georgian and Victorian eras, Bath's hot springs drew members of high society from London for the summer season, along with visitors seeking treatment for various ailments.

On arrival, you visit the Royal Crescent and the Circus, Georgian era town houses designed by architect John Wood for London's high society to stay in while visiting Bath.

Next you visit Bath Abbey, a Late Gothic abbey over 500 years old, built on the site of an even older church. Its history is depicted on the West Front of the building, considered one of the last great medieval churches built in England. Donations are requested at the entrance.

After the Abbey, you have free time for lunch (meal not included) before visiting the Roman Baths, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here the Romans built a temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water today. The visit includes original Roman artifacts and an explanation of how the baths worked.

After the Roman Baths, you have additional free time in Bath before the drive to the Southampton cruise terminal, based on the length of that transfer.

Reviewer: Dannelle M from Mission Viejo, California  
Again, Private Shore Trips did not disappoint. Been using them since 2009. Steven is so great to work with - and his team of tour guides all over Europe have been amazing. This time we used them in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. David in London, Ricky in Edinburgh, Ricky and Graeme in Glasgow and Paul in Belfast. All were personable, friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible.

Reviewer: Jeremy K from Marion, IA  
Thanks for asking. They were good. The first driver was really nice and helpful and a good guy. The other driver was fine but not as nice. He was fine though and both were on time and the vehicles were comfortable as well. Very happy we chose you as both worked out great.

We did enjoy ourselves and I would highly recommend your tour company to anyone. The driver was really nice and very efficient getting us to all of the places that we wanted to see in the short time that we were in London. The guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly.

Reviewer: Ed J from Ed J. Ventura CA  
Just returned from London yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that all went well and the guides were outstanding. Had a fabulous time and looking forward to working with you again. The guides were very professional and on time. One was 30 minutes late, but we forgave him... He turned out to be a very good guide. I think it was in Belfast. Leaving for Honolulu for the month of August Wed, so have a lot to do before that date. Thanks again.

Reviewer: Riley D from Boston  
So we started at Westminster Abbey, took in the views of Big Ben and Parliament, and then headed to the Tower of London. The history is incredible! My mother could not walk anymore so Emma recommended the cutest cafe where she stayed while we finished the tour. Emma was jsut an outstanding guidefriendly, knowledgeable, and fun!
