This visit to the Roman baths was part of the Belmond British Pullman excursion by luxury train, from London Victoria to Bath Spa. Although the baths were very crowded, the audio-guided tour was quite informative and provided many insights into the history, architecture and cultural significance of the site.
My 6 year old son loves this museum. We visit often. Interactive and interesting.
Me and my son had a fantastic time at the Roman Baths! So much history there and lot's to see.
Quite expensive however very informative and enjoyable. Very busy as you would expect but great that it's open late
Really informative museum with lots of interesting tidbits and insights into life back during Roman times in Britain. Very happy I went!
Fascinating ruin with active excavation, film projections in the individual rooms, coins and other objects found on site. I recommend it for anyone interested in Roman and British history.
Historically interesting; wish we had more time AND the opportunity to actually use the baths.
Loved it. Amazing to think an entire civilization walked on these stones before us. A piece of history I am so glad we dicovered.
Enjoyed a nice trip to the Baths, nice to see the history behind the Romans and the importance of the baths to them. Definitely recommend
Beautiful place with amazing history. Really worth the visit. You should have at least three hours Time to visit this place. And the headphones are recommended, you get so much more info with them.
Very interesting place will certainly be looking to return there..
Always a pleasure to visit the Roman baths and museum. The audio guide is free but it's much more enjoyable without and things are nicely explained on signs any way. You get an excellent view of the cathedral too.
Quiet and peaceful place to roam around with your family and friends
Fab museum! So insightful, yet you get to pick and choose which bits you want to learn.
Wow, if you love history and tours, this is a must to see!
A place you have to visit. Best thing you will look around in bath. History is stunning and it is shown off in such a magnificent way.
Had a wonderful time the information hand set was informative and most people observed social distancing
Fantastic, detailed, wide array of artifacts and information on display, plus the magnificence of the baths themselves. Well worth the asking price
The baths have been very well kept. There were actors setting the scene at the large bathing pool which was a lovely addition to the experience. The gift shop was nice, and you can even drink some of the warm spring water at a designated drinking station (but not the water in the baths due to algal blooms!).
The place can get crowded and waiting to get inside can take long but we were lucky to be the first ones in so that wasn't much trouble for us. It's not extremely expensive but not extremely affordable either. I really enjoyed the audio guide that was given to us upon arrival. The baths were beautiful especially the main "open air" one. At some parts it was a bit smelly and the water tou can drink tastes like metal AKA warm blood. Non the less I had an amazing experience it was mesmerising. The staff members were super nice kinda lost my phone and they found it and gave it to me.
Expensive, but a wonderful place to immerse yourself in ancient history. Informative museum, well laid out with loads to see.
They made the place exciting and more engaging to the public viewer which makes the place beautiful and great
BELIEVE THE HYPE! The Roman Baths are a must for anyone visiting Bath. I ve been twice in the past year and would eagerly return a third time. It s a great attraction for people of any age fun, kid-friendly, and wheelchair-accessible. The site itself is beautiful, and the history encapsulated there is amazing. The audio guide enhances each portion of the attraction nicely. I particularly liked the Bill Bryson audio tour. Gift shop was lovely too. Don t forget to taste some of the spa water at the end of your tour!
Great place for a 2 to 3 hour tour don't forget to take your head phones as the hand held guide is great info so if you don't have headphone you'll end up holding it like a phone to your ear.
The tour was great fun more then what I expected.
Back to roman bath...
Good crowds Control overall wonderful experience would definitely recommend seeing this place.
It's amazing and worth the tour, well presented audio or hourly guided. The entire upper structure is made to recreate and preserve the original lower strata. It's about 20% Roman era and the rest is recreated for the masses along with replica engravings and masonry work.
Incredible. Well worth a visit catering to adults and children.
Fun, informative and clever.
Would go back I enjoyed it that much!
I like the place but there are so many people around..avoid going on weekends
Excellent place to visit, I didn't expect much but it took a long time to get round the site. They provide baby carriers and I noticed lifts for wheel chairs, but not sure how much you can see. If you have balance issues, you might have difficulty around the main bath but most of the route is in good condition. If you are in the area, it is a must visit, very good value for money.
The town itself is more interesting than the Roman Baths. Mind you the statues were added relatively recently and not authentic. The novelty of the baths wear out after a while.
Well worth the visit. It's about 1 hour and 40 minutes from London by train. Easily a day trip.
An amazing site...full of history...
You can have the audio guide tour or pace at your own accord this place doesn't disappoint...The Museum has great exhibits and walking amongst the ruins is a complete sublime experience..
And you can enjoy the thermal baths at the spa location...
Absolutely must visit. Nice pice of ancient Rome at Your doorstep
Great museum built on and over the Roman Bath grounds. Very good fun. Lots of street performers around the museum and tasty food choices. Worth the trip.
Very high quality audio tour. Great visualisations and emersion. Educational and engaging. Would recommend.
I know that I'm supposed to love this, but it wasn't very engaging even for a guy who is interested in Roman history. They've done a great job with it, but it didn't grab any of us.
After going to bath for many years and never seeing the Roman baths, went with my brother and all of our kids. It was a lovely outing, really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful old buildings and wandering around some history.
Well presented and easy to get around. Crowds are kept moving. Audio guides fantastic.
Go to the cafe you can see the baths from the window
This is the best World Heritage Site I have ever visited.
Amazing! The only tiny problem, is that it is difficult to imagine the layout, as you move from room to room. However, the audioguide and use of both archaeological finds and technology in the exhibitions really help the story come to life
The free tour was very informative. Museum and the baths themselves were worth visiting. A good few hours were spent here.
Very nice place to visit. I wish they can expand it and add the rest of the place. Very interesting
Very good but not alot of room to wander. Go at a low peak time becuase as soon as the walking tours start piling through you can't move withing the area's with the artefacts
A prime historical site, showing how 2 millennia ago they were surprisingly sophisticated in their engineering and enjoyment of the pleasures of the hot bath!
Fascinating look into the past. So cleverly put together Xx
Amazing Historical site , extremely well documented and organised. Very highly recommended..
Very interesting location to visit a must see for anyone visiting bath and interested in the history. Place had more than I expected you look at.
Very accomodating to people with disabilities.
Very beautiful settings, and the guide they give you is bespoke, so if you don't want to listen, move on!
Be careful of tourists with no spatial awareness, it can get a bit crowded in some places.
This is a stunning exhibition that provides insights into Roman life and the value of the curative mineral water coming from hot springs. Try to avoid on the weekend when it is overcrowded.
Very busy when we arrived, however the layout of the interactive exhibits and sheer splendour of the site enables one to immerse in the story and lose the crowds. Excellent disabled facilities, though uneven walking surfaces.
If you are into roman history, this is the place in England to visit. The whole tour of Roman Baths is intriguing. It s fascinating to how they built such a beautiful community space so long ago.
