See Bath through expert eyes on a private walking tour led by Fred Mawer, one of the UK’s most respected Blue Badge guides and The Daily Telegraph’s resident Bath expert. Designed for curious first-time visitors, this experience reveals the city’s Georgian grandeur alongside its lesser-known stories.

Walk past icons such as the Royal Crescent, The Circus and Pulteney Bridge while learning how architecture, literature and society shaped Bath’s golden age. Along the way, hidden corners and cinematic links add depth to the journey. Personal, insightful and engaging, this is the ideal introduction to one of England’s most elegant cities.

Delve into the world of fine fragrance during a private masterclass with Parterre Fragrances, set in an elegant studio near Pulteney Bridge.

The experience culminates in the creation of your own bespoke perfume, blended to reflect your preferences and personality. Your finished fragrance is presented in a refined 50ml bottle, a lasting reminder of a creative and deeply sensory Bath experience.
